(Restaurants - Lunch) |
|
212 Market St, Chattanooga 37402 • 423-265-1212 |
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. This family-owned establishment has been pleasing diners since before downtown Chattanooga's renaissance as a dining destination. Soft blue walls and hardwood floors provide a serene atmosphere enhanced by the soft music playing in the background and the candle-lit, linen-covered tables. The menu changes regularly but you can always expect a vegetarian pasta option, seafood dishes such as salmon kabobs served with dipping sauce, and rack of lamb with cumin glaze. Meals are best complemented by a glass of wine from 212 Market's extensive cellar. There is a happy hour Monday-Friday from 4pm-7pm. Smart-casual to dressy attire. Reservations suggested. |

Acropolis |

(Restaurants - Lunch) |
|
2213 Hamilton Place Blvd, Chattanooga 37421 • 423-899-5341 |
|
|
| |
Description:
HAMILTON PLACE. This spot gets high marks for the excellent food and attentive service. The menu is extensive and features Italian favorites in addition to the authentic Greek cuisine. Start with the antipasto platter – it can be ordered as a light entrée as well. The platters – like the Old Country Greek combo combining pastitso, moussaka, gyro meat, and stuffed grape leaves – are a great way of trying a variety of items. Dishes like stuffed eggplant are vegetarian friendly. The Acropolis has an on-site bakery that cooks pastries such as flaky baklava. |

|
|
| |
Description:
LAKE HILLS. Forget the fast-food chain restaurants – Ankar's provides a quick, wholesome alternative. Use the drive-through if your time is tight, or dine inside at a more leisurely pace. Thick slices of deli meat are piled high on homemade sub rolls or bread. The house specialty is pita sandwiches like the fried mushrooms and steak topped with cheese. Be sure to try the crispy, hand-cut fries. Wash it all down with a soda, tea, or an ice-cold beer. Casual. |

Be sure to arrive at this steakhouse with your appetite intact. To save room for the 20-ounce ribeye steaks and 14-ounce pork chops, start your meal light with the fried green tomatoes. Sides include the jumbo potato and thick, hand-cut onion rings. The chicken and fish dishes are equally hearty. Sample the hand-breaded schrod topped with dill-caper sauce. If you have room for dessert, the variety available will leave your head swimming – try the apple caramel poundcake for a real treat. Smart-casual attire. Reservations suggested. |

There are also salad plates and, for dessert, fresh brownies and cookies. |
