Cameron Harbor, Chattanooga’s latest downtown riverfront development, brims with potential. Amid the chic condos, the expansive Riverwalk and the soaring herons, Scottie’s on the River is fortunate to have gotten in on the ground floor, so to speak.

Open only since June, Scottie’s features upscale eats served in a casual environment.

“Wear your flip flops – or your evening gowns. We don’t care!” said Executive Chef Ally Smith.

While Scottie’s dress code is anything-goes, its menu, appropriately specializing in seafood, is a dab more particular – at least in regards to quality.

“The goal is that the fish is still swimming in the ocean when I order it,” Ally said.
