Crema's Take

The Purple Daisy nails that rare combination of genuinely excellent service and a space that feels like hanging out at a friend's cabin, complete with a sliding barn door entrance and fireplace. The staff here goes above and beyond in a way that keeps people coming back, though be warned the parking lot is tight and the food quality can be inconsistent. If you're seeking a relaxed, people-friendly spot in Chattanooga where the atmosphere and hospitality matter more than flawless execution, this is absolutely worth the trip.
