Tony's - Yummy Pasta and Wines
In the heart of the Arts District. Close to the Hunter Museum, Walnut Street Bridge and more. Great affordable Italian food. We especially love the Shrimp Alfredo at only $12 plus tons of amazing bread. Can be super crowded on Friday and Saturday nights with a long wait. Has a rooftop patio and outside dining during good weather. Do NOT order the calamari, consistently overcooked.

Hennen's - Splurge Steakhouse
Amazing? Yes. Unforgetable? Yes. Pricey? Yes. However there is a reason it's one of the top date night spots in Chattanooga. Perfectly scruptious steaks, chops and seafood. Fantastic wine selection. Extensive bourbon selection. For a slightly less expensive option try their lunch menu with smaller (still huge) portions and better pricing.
Reservations HIGHLY suggested on weekend nights.
