    Hotel decor

    This establishment is very romantic and is located inside the Read House hotel. Our server Eugene was wonderful! The food was delicious, but expensive. Ordered wedge salad to go on a different night, and although delicious, it was tiny! Also, there is no microwave available to warm your food if staying at the hotel. Very nice hotel stay, top notch service, but overpriced.

    Food and service were excellent but priced on the expensive side. The service was excellent, and our server was hilarious. Top notch steak house, I had the ny strip which was a wonderful taste and cooked to perfection but had lots of gristle in it. Drinks were delicious and not skimped on but everything is pricey. Then again you get what you're expecting from this high end restaurant. Dinner for four of us with tip and deserts was $623 plus tip. Total $793.

    It was an amazing experience to say the least. My wife and I went here for a date night and they didn't miss a beat! The host was very pleasant when we arrived and the waiter was very personable and remembered everything! The food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were as well. Money worth spent for an amazing night with my favorite person.

    I'm not sure how else to portray this fine dining establishment but then to start with five stars! I will however attempt to paint this picture for you. Upon entering this white tablecloth Chophouse located inside the Read House Hotel, you are immersed in luxury and service. Every course is delivered with flair and style. From the pouting of our wine to the last bite it is a menagerie of culinary excellence! Our server, dressed in his white tux, was eloquently smooth and comforting. We started with an enormous Seafood Tower with Oysters, Lobster Jumbo Shrimp and Lump Crab Cocktail. Then, in my opinion, the best dish in the table, Fried Frog Legs, perfection on a plate. I followed suit with the most luxurious Lobster Bisque that was light and creamy with a hint of Brandy. I ordered the Chilean Sea-bass Primavera. It was perfectly cooked, floating in a most excellent Miso laced with Ginger and Lavender and an assortment of finely julienned vegetables. It was utterly scrumptious!

    Wonderful place! We opted to have a nice dinner here before a concert in town while staying at the Read Hotel. The restaurant may be fairly small, but the atmosphere is excellent and the service, superb! Most of all, Bridgeman's offers fantastically delicious food!... after all, isn't that why you go to a restaurant?... Each dish we got (2 soups, 2 steaks, and a side, along with 2 fantastically delicious drinks) was prepared excellently with fresh, quality ingredients, an excellent cut of beef, seasoned to perfection, and served with care. The price is a bit up there, but you absolutely get what you pay for here, and the place should not be missed when looking for a nice, upscale steakhouse-type restaurant experience in Chattanooga... especially if you have doubts just because it's attached to a hotel. Don't let this dissuade you. Bridgeman's is an excellent choice!

    Do you allow BYOB of a special wine?

    Not sure but I have no doubt that they would have a corking fee to uncork your special bottle.

    I don't see desserts listed anywhere. Do they serve any desserts?

    We had a delicious Creme Brûlée! I didn’t see a dessert menu though. It was a Birthday.

    Is there a dress code for this restaurant?

It was also a beautiful day so we sat on the patio. I love that they work with local organizations for fresh vegetables and meat! Our waiter was very nice and fairly attentive. But the food... For the good - the crab cake was delicious. It was like all crab meat with no filler and was very tasty. The pimento cheese was also SO yummy. You could tell it was made fresh and had a great flavor. The pita it came with was fine, a little over-grilled. I was not crazy about the fried okra. I wish the pieces weren't just cut in half, because to me they had that slimy okra texture inside. My gf said they weren't THAT bad, but I really had to push myself to eat them. The rosemary fries have a great flavor and were crispy (I prefer thicker fries but my gf enjoyed these). I LOVE mac and cheese and was super excited to try theirs. It was very creamy and had a good flavor but there was way too much cheese for the amount of noodles. Like the ratio was pretty off. Now for THE issue. My gf ordered the Filet Mignon, medium. It came raw and without the blue cheese compound butter. By the time the waiter came to check on us, I was half done eating. He took the steak to be put back on the grill and brought it back with a bowl of crumbled blue cheese. It was still raw inside. He brought us extra fries, but by the time it came back I was done eating. She asked for it to go and it was STILL RAW. She had cut it, so it was super obvious if you looked. The manager came and talked to us and they took it off the bill, but for a $40 filet mignon it should not take 3 tries to cook it right and it still not really be right. She said there are cold spots on the grill and they're training a new line cook, but it was not a good look... I'd maybe give more of a pass if they were packed, but there was no one eating inside and maybe two other tables of folks outside.

    Back in town, we visited for the first time recently after knowing about the restaurant for a few…read moreyears. We got an order of the hush puppies as an appetizer. They were okay, but for 5 bucks...what do you expect?‍. I would say the accompanying butter was supposed to be honey butter, but it seemed like regular butter to me! The server was polite, but I was scratching my head because she started with---"Let me go see what's not available anymore." Shouldn't she have done that before speaking to us?? The atmosphere is relaxed, but there isn't much to the decor. It was just casual.... there was brown butcher paper on top of white table cloths...kind of tacky really. It was busy, however, which added to the noise. Hubby and I both ordered the 1885 burger. Now, we are talkin'! The burger was delicious! . It was juicy and tasty. Just an all around fantastic burger. This alone is what will bring me and hubby back. The loaded baked potato was standard, but good too. It sounds like this experience wasn't great, but like I said, the burger alone is enough to go back to enjoy.

We ordered the veggie pizza (great flavor, slimy texture from too many mushrooms etc 4/5) the ceasar salad (started with some finesse 4/5) and the jerk cauliflower(5/5). The only item we were disappointed in was the wings (1/5). Now let me explain. Wooden city reads as a smart modern, quality of food type of location. The wings were great values finest: and thus were huuuuge and unappetizing. Yall pull up, just don't get the wings lol

The vibe is relaxed and social, great patio energy, easy place to hang out with friends, and it feels lively without being overwhelming. The food was solid. Tasty, well prepared, good portions, but nothing that blew me away or felt dramatically different from other brunch spots I've tried. That said, the pricing felt fair. I had the breakfast sandwich and my wife had the Mexican Omelette. The Bloody Mary was actually really good, balanced and flavorful. I was a little surprised they didn't have any stuffed olives (my go-to garnish), and the server wasn't familiar with them, which caught me off guard. Not a big deal, just unexpected. The only real hiccup was at the end. Our ticket got mixed up and I tried having the server correct it. He said he would at the computer, he took our cards and I get a receipt where my card was charged on another ticket. So I ended up paying for someone else's food. It wasn't intentional and these things happen, but it was a frustrating way to wrap up the meal. Overall, I'd come back. Good atmosphere, fair prices, solid food. It's not a "must plan your whole weekend around it" spot for me, but it's a dependable option if you're in the area.
