FORGE at The Chattanoogan Hotel

Today upon arriving to pick my child up from his state testing I parked and a tall blonde headed man. Starts screaming and calling me an F’n B , but the the real words. I had not even said a word to him. He then proceeds to set a cone in front of my car and kicks it into my vehicle. I then asked where I could park and was told “he didn’t find care”. I then say okay, I need to pick up my child how can I do that and he proceeds to tell me that he doesn’t care if my child never sees me again and he can die in there for all he cares. I was a GM for Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites, Hampton Inn and Residence Inn. I do not complain it the way I was treated today was absolutely uncalled for. I called and asked to speak to a manager who never addressed the way I was spoken to nor about ruining my property. This man was not even 4 inches from my face while speaking to me this way. I felt very threatened and met the police down the street to file a police report. My child was waiting on me thinking I wasn’t there because of this gentleman which also cause him pain and suffering. Again, I hate to complain as I know things happen but I was nothing but polite to this gentleman and I am sure this is not how you’d like your hotel to be represented. I also know this goes against everything Hilton stands for.

Don’t go if you have any food allergies!!We went to this place on Thanksgiving for a family of 4 hoping to have a wonderful meal. I have a food allergy and informed them of this 2 weeks ago when making reservation. When arrived the waitress said she couldn’t get an answer from the chef of what I could eat. The manager came out and didn’t care about my allergy nor did she attempt to accommodate me in any way. I only took 2 bites into the stuffing and started to have a reaction. Waitress was aware but manager didn’t come back over and apologize. I had to sit there while my family ate since they didn’t accommodate my allergy and we already paid an high price to eat there. After we ate, 2 other people in my party felt sick from the food. It was very unorganized, the food and the service was poor. It was $65 per person plus gratuities that was already taken out. I had to go to a diner afterwards to eat. Never again!! Worst place to eat!! I was informed that there was new staff and a new chef recently which might be why some of the older reviews were good.

Had Breakfast here with my wife while staying at the hotel. Service was very prompt, food was delicious but small portioned. More of an upscale restaurant for breakfast. The ambiance was very fancy and sleek. My steak & eggs were really good and well seasoned I just wish there was more of it for the price. Same goes for the eggs benedict that my wife had. We went the following day and the restaurant had a 45 min wait which was disappointing. All that to say if I was in town again would dine here again.

I reserved a table for dinner with my beloved, as we both love jazz. The night at The Forge did not disappoint. The music, the atmosphere, casual but still elegant and charming, the food, delicious, the service, excellent and yes, we will return!

Brussels and mushrooms were actually unseasoned Brussels and mushrooms that tasted like they came out of a can. Smoky cheddar grits was more like a can of grits and creamed corn cooked dry. Bison wasn't cooked well although it kinda looked better in presentation. This place was impressively bad for a place that rings up a $103 tab for a couple. Our server was nice though.

Oh my! The food was fantastic. I went solo on a Friday night for the Jazz and Wine Tasting. Both were great. All the flights were $10. The red flight was perfect with a Cabernet, Red Blend and a Merlot. I also order the Apple cake which came to me looking like a real apple. It was a perfect portion and a great way to end the night.

A great idea poorly executed. The space has very harsh lighting and the performers are hidden from most of the seating. This could be a success with a little more imagination. The wine pairings were excellent and the service was good. The ambience was far from excellent. The Jazz band was excellent.

We were the only ones there on a Saturday during dinner, which seemed very strange. It was pretty quiet in there as well. The food was pretty good, but just the atmosphere kinda threw us off

Attended with a group to experience Jazz and Wine Friday, The small plates food was excellent although the dinner menu was somewhat limited. The staff were very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The music was good also. Overall pleasant experience.

Walked in to the restaurant and had our pick of tables as we were the only diners at the time. We picked a nice 2 seater near the kitchen with dim lighting. Ambience was nice, our waiter was great but the food was even better. I went with the campanelle verdure (pasta) while my fiancé had the wagyu burger *chefs kiss*. The food was hot, the drinks were well made and the value was well worth it. 10/10

We were here this past Saturday for our anniversary dinner and Randy took care of us. He was very hospitable, kind, and tentative. Great service, vibes, and food! I had the NY strip and my boyfriend got the Bison steak frites. The only thing is that the menu online is not the same as the menu presented to you. But that’s not on service and food. Highly recommend!

Service was exceptional. They went out of their way to give us a custom wine tasting flight. Food was very good and reasonably priced. I recommend the charcuterie tray and the burger. I think they do wine and jazz events regularly. I recommend this as well.

Very nice dinner! We were supposed to have the manager come for a special anniversary surprise but didn't, but besides that we had a nice time! Live jazz was great and the food and wine was delicious

We arrived 5 minutes early and were seated promptly. After 15 minutes we were asked by the sommelier if we had been waiting on, which we replied no. After 15 more minutes and waitstaff serving adjacent tables and walking by us multiple times with no one acknowledging us, we left disappointed and frustrated. We will not be back
