Flying Squirrel

I just have to commend a place that offers rare spirits in appropriate spirit-focused glassware at extremely reasonable prices (honestly, probably underpriced). We just came in to look at the menu after already having dinner and drinks and had to stick around for Old Rip. We’ll definitely be back for dinner (and drinks) soon! The ambiance and lighting was spectacular as the sun went down. Surprisingly calm for a Friday night, and the bar staff was super friendly and helpful.

Wonderful place, we sat at the bar. The people were great and the food was very good too. If you’re in Chattanooga, I’d recommend this place to try

My goodness gracious where do I start! I must say, we came to splurge, and splurge we did- in the best way possible. Having never had it but desperately wanting to, the okonomiyaki was a pleasant surprise. It was everything I dreamt of and more! Absolutely delicious and totally worth trying. Do be warned, that plate is quite large! With three of us (and how delicious the garlic fries were), we couldn’t quite finish it, so come hungry! Now, the garlic fries. Wow, something so simple done so excellently; I’m daydreaming about the fries while writing this, and probably again when you’re reading this! I can’t rave enough. They came with ranch and ketchup but frankly they were absolutely perfect as is. The Japanese salted salmon was cooked perfectly, and seasoned likewise. Incredibly tender and juicy with a perfectly crisp skin- this wasn’t my dish as I don’t generally enjoy salmon, but man I’d order this in a heartbeat! Boyfriend had the salmon and said he dislikes beets but absolutely loved the application here. I had the flank steak and MAN was I wowed! Juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly cooked. The brandy mustard cream sauce is to die for. Honestly I will HAVE to get it again, and with a little extra sauce it was so dang good. The chef cuts the steak on a harsh bias in several slices making it incredibly tender and a lot easier to cut and eat compared to your standard steak. The plating allowed all the resting juices to be soaked into the (somehow still crispy!) potatoes below so nothing went to waste, and every bite was a beautiful blend of rich, tangy, creamy, meaty deliciousness. I have no doubt I’ll be dreaming about it later tonight. For drinks we had the Odd Couple (not pictured) and Summer Water. Now frankly I do not love the taste of liquor, but both drinks accented them incredibly well. Summer Water was perfectly balanced to help cut the richness of the dishes between bites and to cleanse to taste each other’s choices, something nice to sip along steadily through the meal. Now, the Odd Couple- that thing is dangerous! Like, tastes like fancy juice dangerous. The absolute best kind. Arguably one of the best original cocktails I’ve ever had and I WILL be coming back for more. Lastly but certainly not least- service. Absolute five stars. We were sat on the Mezzanine, above ground floor and thus a labor to carry everything we ordered and to check on us properly; Austin and Kyle would’ve fooled you on that, though! Kyle was our server and he had the perfect level of attentiveness. He never swung by us without double checking on us, but not so much he became a nuisance. And Austin, support staff (a plate runner I believe), was absolutely stellar. When switching out with Kyle he would still refill our drinks, and ensure that we didn’t need anything before he continued on being the rock star that he is. I can’t recommend the entire place enough. What an amazing experience. I can’t wait for a little warmer weather so we can eat outside- I’m sure it will be just as stellar. Just be sure to make a reservation, you’ll need it!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!!! I never expected this kind of level of food quality in Chatanooga. The foods will be in your TOP3 in your life time. The pork belly is perfectly cooked so it is not dry at the same time just juice enought. Small portion tho. Order it for your appetizer. The duckconfit blew my mind. Usually, your duck confit comes out very soagy on your plate from all the sweet sauce. HOWEVER, this chef does his magic to harmonize the sauce, duck, veggies, and the sauce all together. I didnt even expect the flank steak to be good. I just ordered it for stomach filling. But, the sauce and the fresh veggies just tightly supported the taste of the flank steak taste. I strongly RECOMMEND!!!!
