Top 5 Gluten-Free Spots to Explore in Riverfront, Chattanooga

We knew we wanted pizza at our wedding, and after lots of searching and price comparing, we found the dream team in Chelsea and Alyssa at Downtown Mellow Mushroom! From the very beginning, they were amazing—offering us a tasting (with friends included!) and being super flexible with menu tweaks. On the big day, they totally came through in a few key moments, and you could really tell they cared. They took pride in their work and genuinely wanted everything to go perfectly for us when it came to the food. Plus, Mellow Mushroom is just plain delicious, and they were awesome about accommodating our vegan and gluten free guests too.

This place was all around amazing from head to toe. The view of the river and mountains…the modern theme of the restaurant inside and out…the attentive and personable waitstaff…the very accommodating menu for being gluten free….bringing out a water bowl for our pup…and the best tacos we’ve ever had! You’ve gotta add this place into your plans the next time you’re in the downtown Chatt area! Also shoutout to our server, Ross! He was great. Cheers!

First of all, I would like to thank all the staff of Whitebird for the magical night for dinner. This restaurant is on the first floor of the Edwin Hotel right next to the Walnut Street bridge, Hunter Museum, and all the romantic spots in the art district. With this type of setting, you know the night will be magical. Extra points for whoever came up with the idea to out see through igloo"s just outside the restaurant patio next to the bridges. Yes, you are reading that correctly. You can spend a romantic dinner in a see-through igloo with white lights and all the night sky in an intimate, darker setting. You only find two of these, so i would book in advance for this special venue. My date and I absolutely loved the decor, atmosphere, staff, and the food. I have a gluten allergy to Wheat, and all the staff went out of their way to make sure my night was perfect with no cross-contamination. The owner, manager, and all the staff were top-notch for a true white glove fine dining should be. Now to the food. I ordered the salad, thinking it would be on the smaller side. Nope, it was a large portion and amazing flavor with ingredients not used much in salads you would find at a restaurant. This was a real chef cooked/ prepared to order. Next, we had the grilled chicken mini sliders with a sauce that was delicious to dip into. I'm not sure what it was, but wow, it made the flavors come out more. I also got the garlic mashed potatoes. This was definitely my favorite with just the right amount of ingredients and fresh potatoes, not instant garage, like some restaurants try to pass as mashed potatoes. Nope, nothing but the best and finest quality of food, cooked to order Cordon Bleu chef. They had a gluten free buns, so I got a grilled chicken sandwich that was delicious. The evening was nothing less but magical with the sunset going down the stung lights in the igloo. Dinner was just perfect and a nice walk on the bridges to in the evening. I would highly recommend this restaurant and experience for your next romantic dinner date. Don't take my word for it make. Go see for yourself the magic that awaits. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely Would I return? Absolutely
