Calliope Restaurant & Bar

Oh my goodness that was good. I’m not real sure how to explain this cuisine though. All the food is a curious concoction of Mediterranean, middle eastern, and some southern. The head bartender was super nice and very informative of the food and drinks. We chose the option of basically having the chef pick what we were going to eat and we couldn’t have been happier. The home made pita here also is something to write home about. Plenty of seating upstairs as well!

Absolutely an incredible dining experience all around! We were able to snag some seats at the bar on a Friday night. The bartender, Maddy, was very kind and helpful with us deciding what to order. Everything was incredibly flavorful and exciting! Can’t wait to come back!

Went to Calliope for our anniversary and had the most wonderful meal. Our server was one of the best I’ve ever had in this city, I believe his name was Cody. It’s been a few weeks since our visit so I may have that wrong. He was training a new server while we were there and she was delightful as well. To start we ordered some of their delicious cocktails. After browsing the menu we decided to go with the Sofra shared table experience since we had never been to Calliope before. Everything was amazing—the food was cooked perfectly and the components selected for each dish were outstanding. We hope to visit again soon to try more of their unique menu items.

This is my second time at Calliope, and it has not disappointed! Every cocktail I've tried has been superb and their hummus is beyond incredible. The flavors are bold yet approachable. My first visit here was with my mom, who is not very food adventurous, but she will be mad I came back without her!

What a surprise. Truly passionate about food and overall experience. The staff is on point and very welcoming. The chef and kitchen are delivering expressive dishes for their diners. The menu changes with what's in season so they might not have the same thing eveytime you go back also it's small portion meals so it's nice to be able to choose more than one thing on the menu.

I had a cuisine experience like I never have before at this restaurant. Our waiter, Cody, assured my wife and I that we would enjoy anything on the menu; he was right. We had the Sofar, and everything that was prepared was scrumptious. We loved the Lamb shank; it was the best dish we ate. It melted in our mouths as we took the first bite and the following afterwards. We had such a wonderful experience. 🙂

Exceptional food, service and quantities. We got the Sofra and an order of the octopus. The appetizer tasting was delicious (the eggplant spread of it was beyond phenomenal): it contained various spreads, olives, beats and pickled vegetables. The second corse was the lamb shank which is GIGANTIC. It was seasoned perfectlty, fell right of the bone and served over rice. It was a really large amount. The coarse was one of their deserts. It was perfect to end on. It was a few bites and not overly sweet. We ordered a side of octopus. It dish was small but had a very complex flavor profile. The octopus was super tender and cooked perfectly. I highly recommend ordering. The service was extremely quick for such a large meal. And our waiter knew the menu we'll was able to give us easy suggestions. My only complaint was that the drinks were way too expensive. I ordered a mock tail which was essentially a coke poured over bitters and it was $8 for only 100ml! That's less than half the size of a can of soda!

Great dining experience! The drinks are beautifully hand crafted and compliment the dishes well. Their approach in dining is designed for sharing plates with everyone at the table. Strongly recommend dining with people who have a love for food, new experiences, amazing spices, and lots of love poured into each dish. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Explore the menu and do a little research beforehand. However, each server will guide you through the menu and have great suggestions. Great experience. Wonderfully crafted. It’s a totally gem!!

We left Johnson City, TN and headed southwest to Chattanooga; a city I definitely want to come back and visit when I have more time. For dinner, we stopped by Calliope, a modern Levantine restaurant and bar. Levantine cuisine has its roots in Jordan, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, and other countries in the region. Calliope's chefs are from that region, so you know the food is legit. I started with a mocktail, the Lemonana. It's like a fancy lemonade made with mint, lemon, and salt. A fantastic drink between bites. The menu is set up tapas style; small plates meant to be shared. We started with some Spanish Octopus. Chargrilled octopus tentacles with diced plums, honey labneh, and black lime. I've had my fair share of a variety of cephalopods, but this rendition was fabulous. It hit all the right notes of sweet, sour, tangy, savory, and texture. A perfect dish. Since it was happy hour when we arrived, we tried a couple of manaqish varietals, only available between 4p-5:30p. Manaqish is a flatbread, usually spiced with zatar. Calliope makes it their own with how they top it. We got the roasted squash made with a miso-goat cheese, torshi (pickled veg), and peanut dukkah. We also got the lamb lardon made with buffalo ricotta, fig jam, chili, and herbs. Both manaqish were fantastic, but the consensus favorite at the table was the lamb lardon. Crispy lamb paired with the ricotta and fig jam was simply irresistible. Give me a bowl of that and I'd die happy. If you're ever in Chattanooga, definitely check out Calliope.

Parking is on the street. The ambiance is chill. The service is outstanding with friendly and helpful staff. It's similar to Tapas or shared plates. We ordered the Spanish octopus, with black lime, plumbs, honey labneh and smoked oil. Perfect! From 4-5:30, they offer Manaquish, similar to a puffed bread with some amazing toppings. I recommend the Lamb lardon. It's crispy with fig jam and buffalo ricotta for sweet and savory in every bite! If ever in Chattanooga again, we will be back!

We had a group of 8 meet up for dinner at Calliope on 9/20 for dinner ahead of a weekend wedding. None of us had been there before so we weren't sure what to expect but we all said it was one of the best meals we've ever had in our life! We ordered everything but 4 items on the menu, including 4 different desserts! Each plate/entree was delicious! Was it pricey? Yes, but so worth it! We came from ATL and would literally drive the 2 hours to dine there again. We talked about this dinner for days afterward. Our server was Corey and he did an amazing job of explaining the menu, helping us sort out how to order, answered all our questions, made great suggestions and really took care of us. We will be back!

Fine dining here. Laid back atmosphere. Had a table beside the glass where they make their pita bread. Neat to watch this. Staff is awesome. Food is great. Portions are not small. Would recommend the lamb!

The food was good. I loved the fish and octopus.....amazing. The only salad like option was not so great...swimming in dressing and just not good. They replaced it with their pita which is amazing. Overall a good experience

We were visiting from out of town and were so glad we changed our dinner reservation to Calliope. Everything was delicious. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu as the sauces and spices are amazing. If I had to pick one favorite, I'd choose the chicken shawarma hummus. The chicken entree comes with rice, which we didn't realize when ordering. Also, the potatoes are super tasty but a have a little bit of a spicy kick. The restaurant itself has a cool vibe but is chill. Our food took some time coming out, but everything was hot and we appreciated the lag as we ordered a lot.

This was my first time trying Levantine cuisine and it was absolutely phenomenal! We had the whipped feta (our FAV), flank steak, potatoes and leg of lamb. We quite literally licked the plates clean. Although I'm not a drinker, they had an extensive and interesting drink menu with many cocktails to choose from. Their non-alcoholic choices were also superb! We ordered the pomegranate lemonade and a mixed elixir for $7 each. If you like tart, you'll like these two drinks! The portion size is similar to tapas, made to share and it's honestly not too pricey, I would categorize it as mid $$ range. Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back!

Went here for my friends birthday was his friends! It was all our first time here! Wonderful service! Loved the whole cozy atmosphere and great news they have plans to expand! The food was amazing! Simply superb! My friend and I are foodies and we split the sofra! So worth it! It's a total must! All the dishes were super delicious! But you must get the couscous, beets, burnt carrots, mushrooms. The chicken leg was a little hard to share with the table so not sure if they could debone that. And i ordered Turkish coffee I was hoping to get more than 1 cup but they don't serve the little pot with it. I can't wait to come back and check out their expansion!

They do not do what they say. Guaranteed 7 days for quartz countertops and did not install for 16 days. Whatever they tell you make sure you get everything in writing as they do not honor what they tell you verbally

Wow !! The best delicious deliciousness wow what a great experience everything that we ordered on menu was so good hummus fresh out of the oven Pita bread ,chicken ,flank steak ,vegetables , shrimp highly recommend. exceptional and service was the best

Delicious food, really cozy atmosphere and we had a great server. Would recommend others to go

Calliope's was a completely random find for us while we were in town, and I'll be forever grateful for all the stars that aligned to bring us here because it's been - by far - the best food I've had in Chattanooga. The restaurant serves up modernized plates of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean fare, with the menu changing up to feature seasonal ingredients. Since we didn't have reservations, we ended up sitting at the bar which turned out to be a fantastic choice as we chatted it up with the friendliest bartender in town (who also happens to dehydrate his own citrus garnishes for the cocktails - see pictures for details). He was also a helpful guide as we picked over the menu trying to plan out our meal. The tapas-style menu is organized by courses, with each plate intended as shareable bites. Each plate came out far faster than we expected, especially considering the 'wow' factor of each one. Our fattoush, or roasted beet appetizer, was a delicious start. As I'm not a terribly big fan of beets, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed these. The ruby red beets were coaxed to a rare sweetness that were beautiful complemented by the bed of herbed goat cheese underneath. Our pasture chicken entree was another winner, with a crackly coating of fifteen mysterious spices that shattered under our knife. The clear highlight of our dinner was the spread so nice we had to order it twice - the chicken shawarma. Throw out everything you know about chicken shawarma, because this plate will defy all your preconceptions. Only God and the chef knows what they did to this chicken, but it was so tender and rich that we peered at it closely, trying to confirm they hadn't accidentally given us pork. The hummus underneath was also rich and beautifully speckled with all the shawarma seasonings. We wiped both plates clean with our pita bread, and still wanted more, even as we exited the restaurant. Service was fast and friendly, and we enjoyed lingering at the bar where we could most fully enjoy the festive holiday ambiance.

We're in town for the holidays & wanted to have a nice dinner out one night. We were undecided & not really stoked about anything until we looked up reviews for Calliope. We made a reservation for the next day & we really enjoyed it! We got the vegan mushroom hummus, vegan falafel & my mom got the shrimp. All was great! We also got a couple of the non-alcoholic drinks (lemonana & the black tea with mint) & they were lovely as well. Beautiful atmosphere & great service. This lived up to the hype!

If you ever pondered, "what would perfection taste like?," please, jump in your car or put on those walking shoes and be ready for a one way ticket to a higher dimension. Every single plate we ordered transported us on a flavor journey, each destination flawless. Every plate seasoned and spiced with careful thought. We ordered the labneh (comes with fresh pita bread), grilled eggplant, falafel, the whole branzino, and the olive oil cake to top off our breathtaking meal. There is no rice as a side on the menu, although if you do a "sofra" meal experience it is included. I asked if there was any way to do a side of rice and they made it happen. My boyfriend and I shared everything and it was exactly enough for the two of us. For drinks I ordered the "kiralyudvar kings court" and my boyfriend ordered the "pullus" (definitely will change your perception of Pinot Grigio. Service was top notch, the ambiance was great. Definitely high class dining experience for Chattanooga. No where comes in comparison. As someone born and raised in Chicago, this has been by far my favorite restaurant I have wined and dined at. You can taste the hard work, love and passion Chef Khaled has. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to try such an incredible restaurant, with outstanding dishes. After the first bite I was messaging friends and family that they had to come, after dessert I knew I wanted catering. I am blown away. I had an amazing experience, I absolutely loved our waitress (and all those who had assisted were amazing as well), I appreciated her recommendations - as they were all fantastic. I was so appreciative that our food container was labeled, more places should do this! This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we cannot wait to be able to be blessed with the opportunity to try again. For being open for a year, this establishment has it ALL together. Standing ovation, BRAVO! Thank you Calliope. If after all of this you still don't buy it- go on their website on their about page and read about the phenomenal team. Once again, you all are a blessing for raising the bar and creating a new community for the new and improved food scene in Chattanooga. You all have most definitely played an integral part in bringing the food scene to life, we solemnly thank you. (If I could give 100 stars I would. If I could give them an award I would. If I could move right next door and eat here all the time, I definitely would)

The server, Evan was the best server I've ever had. Extremely knowledgeable about the menu and able to make excellent suggestions on the menu based on vegetarian options and taste profiles. The food and drinks were exquisite. Highly recommend for vegetarian and meat eaters combined. Great job to the chefs and our server Evan.

Finally some great food in Chatt! I had been in town for almost 3 days and wasn't wowed by most of the other places then i convinced my friends to eat dinner here after some rock climbing and we all loved it. It's on an artsy street with an energetic vibe and the place is decorated so nicely. We called in advance and they had a table waiting for us, our server was nice and knew the menu very well. I love that it was sharing-style, as we all ordered a bunch of plates and got to try it all. For starters, we had the chicken, Shawarma hummus, whipped feta, and falafel. They came with fluffy, fresh baked pita, hot and delicious, although I wish there was more for the amount of dip - just 1 pita per dip. But they were delicious, so authentic. And Those 3 little falafels went fast at our table haha. The branzino was delicious, the sauce was creamy and unique, full of flavor and they prepared it well for you by removing the main spines. The lamb kibbeh was also incredible, super savory, but my favorite of the dishes was the sautéed shrimp. Just amazing. Can't wait to come back to Chattanooga and eat here again!

Hands down our favorite restaurant. Everything is flavorful, the service is always on point and the ambiance is perfect for date night or night out with friends. We love this place and end up coming here whenever we have friends in town. The menu changes and each item is modified over time so it's always fun to see how our favorite dishes are being morphed (usually for the better)!

To be honest I can't remember all the things we got in the photos. We did the 2 person shared experience and all the food was really good! If you don't like spice then I don't recommend this unless the other person you're with does. I thought it had enough variety that you won't be left hungry. Our waitress was very friendly and answered all our questions. I loved the decor! The lighting was dim and it had an eclectic feel to it.

We came and celebrated our 8 year anniversary on a Sunday, and it was half price bottle night. What a nice surprise! The atmosphere is Incredible - beautiful bar, plants, natural wood. The service was great, and both Armen* and Calvin* (so sorry if I've mistaken the names) were wonderful hosts. The wine list is pretty eclectic, and we selected a Chenin blanc. We were brought a Grenache blanc from the same winery, and we decided to drink it anyway. It was yummy too! The food here is beautiful! I will say that I wasn't the most impressed, but it was good. We did not care for the mushrooms which were recommended, but we nearly cleared every other plate! Definitely get the mujadara and chicken small plate! Overall I would come back, but probably an early reservation when the kitchen wasn't closing, and try other things!

This place was a walking distance from my hostel, and the patio area is pet friendly if you travel with your fur baby as I did. I don't know how it looks indoors as I stayed in the patio area with my dog. The service was fast, and my server was friendly during my stay. The patio area was decorated with overhead lights that made it so cozy and inviting--it made me feel so relaxed during my dinner. I ordered charcoal-roasted chicken, braised okra, and one oasis (a cocktail drink). I loved my dinner and my cocktail drink as well. The braised okra was well-seasoned, and the roasted chicken was tender--so, so delicious. I recommend this place. It's a date spot, too.

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Cozy dining area with great service. The food is amazing Lebanese and Syrian food. Everything we had was delicious! We had several vegetable starter dishes, lamb sausage, branding and flank steak and then gelato for desert. I cannot wait to go back!

Came here with my colleague Deltone. He spoke highly of the chef, Somalia, and food. I was visiting for work from Orlando and he insisted we go here for dinner one of our nights. It did not disappoint! We ordered one of everything. The server was a nice red headed guy who gave us detailed insight into each plate and what paired well with it. The mushrooms was from a local farm and were to die for. I don't even normally like mushrooms! The vibe is very modern with Edison lights and sleek furniture keeping with the design. We ate upstairs ate had a nice view of the city outside. They also have an outdoor area but we stuck with inside since it was a bit cold. I will be back when I come to Chattanooga again.

My husband heard of this place and wanted to try it out... all I can say is that it was a 10 out of 10!! From ambiance, service and food, 10 stars all the way!! You get slapped in the face with amazing flavors!! We tried The shawarma chicken pita, the local mushrooms, pasture chicken, lamb neck, carrots, patatas and then the milk cake for dessert... WOW. Absolutely Recommended!!!!

I really enjoyed my experience here! Let's start with parking: found parking right out front (free after 6pm). We didn't have reservations, but when we arrived at 5:45pm, there was plenty of seating (started to fill up as got closer to 7pm). They had happy hour with drinks ranging from $9-11. I got the pharaoh's tea and it was good and refreshed. The right amount of booze and right amount of refreshing and flavorful. My homegirls got the Aperol spritz and the hanging gardens and enjoyed them. Food: we got the falafel, blistered tomato hummus, batata harra, gulf shrimp and chickpea pilaf. All of it was very flavorful and delicious. The service was great and the menu was explained perfectly. They were attentive and friendly. I'll definitely be coming back here!

Wow! Hard to put into words this experience. The service was polished and pace of services rapid. They had my first plate out before I even got my wine. (This was my only complaint) My first plate was the gulf shrimp. I have never had so much flavor in one bite. The second dish I ordered was the mussels. Again, an explosion of flavors. I'm sorry that I wasn't more hungry as I would have loved to explore the menu more. The chef has done an amazing job pairing flavors and textures. The Cabernet I ordered wasn't your typical tannin or fruit forward wine, it was soft and complimented the powerful flavors in my dished. A wonderful pairing. I will be back when I come back to town!

Loved the food. The staff are busy but go out of their way to care. Im so excited to go back.

Impeccable food and service! Cute mid-century modern decor. We had the branzino and rice pilaf. AMAZ-ing!

Absolutely, hands-down, the best restaurant in Chattanooga! And personally, my favorite restaurant I have ever been to. If I could give Calliope 10 stars, I would. The chef is a culinary genius, and food is off the charts incredible! I love how that menu is always changing according to what is seasonally available, so every time I go there, it's like experiencing it for the first time. If you love Mediterranean food, you will lose your mind here. The combination of flavors and textures are so bright and beautiful. And the presentation is nothing short of art. Be sure to get something that includes their handmade pita bread... It's the best you'll ever have! The chef spent months perfecting his recipe and it's truly delicious and unforgettable. The staff is delightful, and the service is always excellent. the ambience is Super positive and uplifting, and you can tell that the staff are so happy working here. Everyone is so kind and happy to see you. They recently expanded their downstairs space so it's easy to get a table, even if you just drop in. But I would highly recommend making a reservation. Thank you Calliope For sharing your love and passion for beautiful food and warm community.

Everything was fresh and delicious. They were making the bread right beside the table! We had whipped feta, hummus, branzino, roasted chicken, carrots, green beans, and more. My sixteen-year-old stepdaughter had never had food like this, but even she ate everything and really enjoyed herself. we will be coming back to try more of the appetizers and veggies. Really the vegetables stole the show they were amazing.

The food, service and ambiance were fantastic! Highly recommend!! We ordered the Sofra "chef's choice" absolutely delicious.

Stopped by for a drink and appetizer. The food was delicious! I can't remember exactly what it was but think it was chicken swarma on a bed of hummus with a big warm flatbread on the side almost like naan.

Wonderful restaurant for a vegan or someone who is wanting to eat more plant based items. I 100% recommend it to everyone. Service was great. Food was great. They let you linger and enjoy the experience. We had a delightful time. Even my 15 year old son! We sat close to the kitchen and he enjoyed watching them make the food. The mushroom hummus was great. Falafel was great. We got the spicy sauce on the side, glad we did. Too spicy for our table. Wish I would have gotten the eggplant base on the side also. I like my falafel crispy. But it was all very good and where the falafel touched the base did not get too soggy. Loved the vegan mango sorbet for dessert. My meat eating husband and son got octopus and shrimp. They loved it. Some reviews mention the price. It can all add up--but if you stay away from the high priced protein items, it is very reasonable. We went on Sunday and got a half priced bottle of wine ($32). With wine, food, dessert and tip, our meal was a little over $100 for 3. Not bad for a special family night out with a bottle of wine. Our server was delightful. I have a few back issues and she happily moved us to a table with padded comfortable chairs when asked. For sure, I cannot wait to go again! Thanks for a wonderful night.

Just, yes! This place is 5 stars all around! Best restaurant in Chattanooga, hands down. I can't wait to go back!

We dined here post-Valentine's Day to avoid the crowds. Bon had heard great things about them and Lawk's a-mighty we could use more good Middle-Eastern dining restaurants in Chattanooga. And Calliope blows all the competition away. Two of the dishes we had completely eclipsed all other versions of those we've ever had and have raised the bar so high that hereafter I am certain that we're bound for disappointment forevermore at other places. Those dishes were the Hummus and the Milk Cake. Of special note was the fruit relish on the bronzino (an explosion of mouth-joy). If the chefs at Calliope jar that and sell it in-house, we'll be avid purchasers! If you've seen the second half of The Bear's second season, you'll have seen a cinematic portrayal of service at high-end dining. The service at Calliope reminded me of that - marvelously so.

Best restaurant in Chattanooga. The Gulf Shrimp is a must, reminiscent of NOLA BBQ shrimp but with more flavor. Everything is very well seasoned. Highly recommend their happy hour.

The food was so good, and a lot of it, the 18-year-old approved for his birthday dinner. Maybe next time Mom and Dad will get to try it out.

The true highlight of my solo trip to Chattanooga. The food and drinks were incredible and my server, Maddie, was so attentive! I was awesome to be able to watch the cooks work in the open kitchen as well. One MINOR thing to consider: maybe provide a serrated knife for the fennel and couscous dish. The fennel was a little hard to cut!

Such an awesome dining experience...don't hesitate to check them out. Never really liked hummus too much until here. Flavors make me think of a combination of Greek, Indian, and Turkish. Definitely not a place to miss!

Absolutely amazing food and service! I was driving through on my way to Florida and stopped here for dinner. So glad I did. I was seated at the bar and the owner and bartender were very attentive. Both made excellent recommendations and were very personable. I tried a Mediterranean red wine, the okra, Alabama shrimp, and pita bread. All of it was delicious!! Actually considered driving back through Chattanooga on my way home just to go here again.

We were really excited to try Calliope as we are fans of Flora de Mel. But, our dinner was a disappointment. We know prices are climbing but their pricing is really off. For example $13 for a small scoop of feta and three pita halves and $13 for the (chicken) Shish Tawook? Also, the menu touts crispy potatoes that are no where near crispy. If the description was "baked then tossed in sauce" it would be accurate. SideTracks does crispy potatoes that are amazing! They taste good but they are not as described. Over $100 for a two drinks and four small plates is a little out of whack even at today's prices. We are not opposed to spending money on meals but Calliope disappointed and left us hungry. The service was good and the food tasted great but sadly, I don't see us returning just for the falafel.

I love this place! The interior is beautiful and I'd love to come back on a beautiful day to sit on the patio. Got there just in time for happy hour so had a few drinks. Started with the tomato hummus which was creamy and delicious. I was slightly disappointed the menu did not match the menu posted on the website though as I was looking forward to a few items that had changed. Then we had a shrimp dish, flavorful and good. For my main entree I had the charcoal roasted chicken which had the perfect amount of sear and seasoning. My husband had the brisket which had a sweet fruit sauce on top and loved it. For dessert he also had the traditional kanafeh. We had to roll ourselves out of there lol. The staff was so nice also, a great way to spend our anniversary this year!

Sometimes the best dining experiences are unexpected. Came here with a small group for an early dinner and no reservation. Our server and the hostess were extremely nice. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and drink selections. At the table, we ordered the blistered tomatoes & pickled peppers hummus which was super tasty, falafel, chickpea pilaf, gulf shrimp, and the crispy potatoes. Everything was shareable and I very much enjoyed the flavors in these dishes. The restaurant is super cute inside and they have this black brick along the walls with real plants, such a vibe.

This restaurant is easily one of the best in Chattanooga. Everything we ate was delicious. We tried all of the small plates: the whipped feta, falafel, and labneh with garlic pita were particularly outstanding. And the moist olive oil cake was delightful (bring your own candle if celebrating a birthday). Note that the happy hour specials don't apply on holidays. The staff was helpful in reserving a table for our group and thoughtfully inquiring about mobility issues.

Incredible food, service and ambiance! A hidden gem in downtown Chattanooga! You NEED to order the freshly made pita with spiced honey and feta. Ideally you'll go with a group rather than a couple of people as you'll want to share and try everything. I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in town again

Food was awesome and service first rate. Highly recommended . We had a reservation but it was somehow lost. They still had us seated within about 10 mins.

AMAZING FOOD & phenomenal service. My boyfriend and I's favorite meal out of our entire road trip

We were in town for our anniversary and this place was perfect! The ambiance, decor and service was 10/10. The food was delicious as well! The few meals we had in town prior to this were mediocre, so we weren't expecting much when we made the reservations but this place exceeded our expectations! We're vegetarian and had plenty of small plate options to order from, everything was delicious! We shared the hummus, labneh, potatoes, and carrots. And it was so filling! Everything was amazing and flavorful, definitely recommend trying it out!

Without question Calliope is the best restaurant in southeast Tennessee. We've been at least 15 times and I can recall only one dish that was "good" rather than incredible.

Excellent adventure in flavors! Service is good, and the upstairs dining area is a plus. Miss those tasty Brussells sprouts. Every dish we've had during our several visits has been delicious.
