On a side note, this doesn't pertain to my establishment, but I would like to give credit when credit is due. Last night I left a little early to spend some time with my fiancé. We decided to go out to dinner on a recommendation from a friend/patron. We dined at Calliope last night, and I must say that I have never been more impressed. We did not have a reservations (I suggest you make them) however, we we're warmly greeted by a hostess and did not know about reservations being our first time there. She put our name on the list, and said to give her a moment and she would see if she could find us a seat. Moments later she returned to say you're table is ready. I was in awe, this place was packed. We then sat down and we were greeted by our server. I apologize as I do not remember her name and I dont have my receipt to look. But I do know she moved here about two months ago from D.C., she was phenomenal! Upbeat personality, and made so many suggestions as we asked since we had never been. She explained everything in detail and even recommended pairings for each item that I expressed I liked the idea of. Let me say this, if you enjoy middle eastern food as much as I do...I can 100% honestly say, this is the BEST meal that I have had in Chattanooga in the past 16 years. Now I know it might not be for everyone and my pallet is different from the next person, but as a European Middle Easterner myself, the flavors and spices that I put in my mouth last night nearly brought me to tears while dinning. Everything brought me back to my grandparents kitchen and brought back so many memories that it was very emotional for me. That's how good the meal was for me. So if you like flavors the way I enjoy them and have not tried this establishment out, I highly recommend that you do so. It is a bit pricey, so maybe make a special night of it. I know I definitely will again because now I am hooked, and there is so much more I want to taste. Hopefully one of these visits I will get to meet Chef Khaled, and shake his hand. Stellar job to everyone at Calliope as I've never been taken back like this before. I look forward to many visits and becoming a regular.

PS....as I was just looking through google, the "hostess" I was talking about....I just found out she's not the hostess but actually the co-owner of the establishment. Kudos to you Raven, I would have never guessed. 👏👏👏

To Our Valued Guests,

I would like to personally apologize to everyone who chose to dine with us today and experienced excessive wait times or service interruptions. Unfortunately, many guests waited far longer than they should have for their meals, and some left without ever receiving their orders. For that, I am deeply sorry.

First and foremost, I want to make it clear that the responsibility for today's issues rests entirely with me and not with any member of our staff. Our servers, bartenders, hosts, and kitchen team worked tirelessly throughout the day under extremely challenging circumstances. They did everything possible to serve our guests, and I am grateful for their efforts.

Earlier today, while implementing updates to our new brunch menu within our point-of-sale system, an unforeseen technical issue occurred. Approximately 40% of customer orders were not printing in the kitchen as intended. As a result, many orders were delayed or never reached our culinary team for preparation. At this time, I have not yet identified the root cause of the malfunction, but I will be working directly with our support team to investigate the issue and ensure it is fully resolved.

In over 15 years of serving this community, we have never experienced a service failure of this magnitude. I am both disappointed and embarrassed that we were unable to provide the level of hospitality and service that our guests have come to expect from us.

To everyone who showed patience, understanding, and kindness today, thank you. Your support means more than you know. Please understand that today's events were the result of an unexpected technical failure and are not reflective of our normal operations or the standards we strive to uphold every day.

We are committed to identifying exactly what went wrong, correcting it immediately, and taking every necessary step to prevent it from happening again.

On behalf of myself and the entire team at New York Pizza Department, please accept my sincerest apologies.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

New Brunch menu out tomorrow! The Kaiser rolls have not arrived yet for the South Jersey, but I will have a stand-in one for tomorrow. Also, ALL of our Sandwiches are now being made on Real New Jersey made bread!!! I am the only one in Tennesse that now has this bread. Those of you that are long time customers will remember this bread from about 6-7 years ago. It's BACK!!!!!

Ps...I forgot to mention $4 Double Mimosas! 😆
