We had a lovely dinner, and appreciated the excellent service provided by Jas, aided by Jim. Together, they made our experience most enjoyable. Jas couldn’t have been more helpful, offering me a taste of a wine I’d never tried. The food was perfect. We enjoyed the cheddar burger with fries that were crisp to perfection. We are frequent diners here, and their happy hour is the best!

Chattanooga

About the restaurant

STIR is the perfect restaurant to sip a craft cocktail over a dozen oysters, enjoy a night out, or meet for lunch. Located in the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo complex, the restaurant is an open-air concept with a large, heated outdoor patio. We are open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.

Great food starts with fresh, local ingredients. Our kitchen prepares everything from scratch, and our signature raw bar is stocked with fresh oysters and seasonal seafood.

STIR is famous for craft cocktails. We freeze and carve 300-pound blocks of artisanal ice in-house, age certain cocktails in oak barrels for richer flavors, and place others on draft for crispness and carbonation. The result: categorically elevated cocktails. Our passion for fine spirits also compels us to find and share rare bottles, many of which are extremely difficult to procure.

We validate parking from Omega Parking l Zone # 5511

As we walked into Stir, a happy party of diners on their way out held the door for us and said with big smiles, “You’re in for a real treat! Really great food!” We just smiled because Stir is always at the top of our wish list for dining in Chattanooga. The staff were so welcoming and attentive from the moment we walked in. We so enjoyed tonight at Stir. Both food and service were great. The wine list by the glass offers a great selection. We enjoyed glasses of Cline Pinot Noir, which paired so well with the delicious bowls of crab bisque we had first. Celery leaves, basil oil, sherry and cream blended together make this bisque extraordinary, a favorite of ours. We then shared a Caesar salad, which was so fresh, crisp and delicious with the shaved Parmesan and dressing on the side. For entrees, my husband enjoyed a special dish of Grouper Romesco with saffron rice. Though I thought about trying a different entree this time, I ordered the Halibut Piccata, which I had loved last time we had dinner at Stir. The fish is just the best ever, and the wine and butter, with farro and roast vegetables, carrots and celery, are perfectly prepared and simply yummy. Our server Kaylee was so personable and professional. Since we were trying several menu items, she timed the serving of each course so well, making our whole dining experience relaxed and enjoyable. This was our last night enjoying a long weekend in Chattanooga, and dinner at Stir made it even more memorable.
