Wow! What a place. We stopped in for happy hour on a Thursday night before grabbing dinner somewhere after and were blown away. It was not crowded at all and we were seated upstairs in the bar area, which had an extremely romantic and relaxing atmosphere. Their happy hour menu is top notch. We greatly enjoyed the fall sangria and French 75. Service was quick and attentive. We will have to check this place out for food another time!
Had dinner last night before a show and once again The Meeting Place delivered a great experience. Our server, Josh, was attentive and professional, our food tasted amazing and was served piping hot, and the prices are very fair for what you get. My wife had the Friday night spaghetti and meatballs which was very good (especially the meatballs). I had the MP Fried Rice with Pork Belly. It is possibly my most favorite dish in Chattanooga. The flavors are unreal. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at TMP and left wondering why we do not go there more often.
An excellent, casual and relaxed restaurant with fine food, and friendly, professional service. Great atmosphere for date nights or groups.
St. John’s Meeting Place was excellent! The food was delicious, the server was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was romantic and welcoming. I would definitely recommend for a nice dinner or meal.
We came here for our 27th anniversary, and it was a great experience. Our server was kind and knowledgeable. The truffle fries were the best I've ever had, even better than Chef Ramsey's, which is high praise from me! I had the fried rice with pork belly, it was good but a little bit too salty for me. My husband had steak frites, he enjoyed it a lot. We had Italian cream cake for dessert, it was delicious.
I came here on a whim during my Tennessee trip and I still crave the food I had. It was amazing! The servers are so friendly and recommended me what dishes to get as well as where I should go for dessert! I 100% plan on coming back here someday. It was very casual and I cannot emphasize how good the food was!
The Fried Rice with tofu and Filet were both phenomenal. I don’t know how they do it, but the tofu literally was pack full of flavor with a nice smokiness to it. The filet was amazing as well. Cocktails were top notch. Can’t wait to come back.
This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in Chattanooga. The new location is even bigger than the last. Parking is much easeir to find too. It is also not as dark inside as the old location, I really like it. The food and drinks never disappoint. The duck is the best I've ever had.
