Moses family statement

The Moses family is very proud of 212 Market, our wonderful customers, employees & memories. 212 Market dared to enter the downtown area when there was nothing and as Tennessee’s 1st certified green restaurant & Chattanooga’s first foray into the farm to table concept, it has continued to do so for over a quarter of a century. Our family’s lives have changed over the past 5 years, leading to the very hard decision to close. The Moses family thanks you for your years of friendship, laughter & community involvement. With sadness we end our 25 years of a great run. We all made a difference.
