Since opening its doors in 2000, St. John’s has held a singular goal: to treat Southern-rooted ingredients with precision, warmth and purpose. Today, Executive Chef Patrick Sawyer leads the culinary vision, turning vibrant regional flavors into elevated dishes that speak of both place and craft.

Over time the restaurant has earned its place on Chattanooga’s fine-dining map through a commitment to seasonal shifting menus, local partnerships and a hospitality style that welcomes and impresses in equal measure. With the move to its current address at 729 Chestnut Street, the experience has been refreshed — yet the essence remains: remarkable food, thoughtful service and a distinctly Southern sense of place.
