How We Started
Scott Adams & Travis Brady, on a vacation to Las Vegas, began speaking of their life goals. Each
wanted to create a concept that embraces their passion for the city where they grew up, as well as
allow them to provide its’ residents with an approachable, high quality menu with service beyond
reproach. After a year of looking for just the right location,
they recognized the developing
area of Chattanooga’s north shore to embody everything they were looking for; character,
relaxed casual lifestyles, and refined palates with an appreciation for quality.
Watching the market and waiting for real estate to become available was taking to long, so they went knocking. They found an old industrial knitting mill built just after the turn of the century and approached it’s owner. The project had begun. After extensive research and development of the concept and it's menu, Scott and Travis had decided this was too great of an undertaking for just the two of them and had the good fortune of meeting their third partner, Troy Sutton. After refining the menu and concept as a whole, they found themselves ready to open. 9000 Square Feet, 80 Employees, a menu and an environment not yet explored in this market. The partners challenge themselves every day to exceed the expectations of every guest with out question or compromise.
