    Informed on arrival there was only one waiter for the restaurant with a few kitchen runners and one bartender for a busy evening. Should have left. 1 hour & 15 minutes later we had been served a small, too sweet house martini, a glass of wine, and a serving of limp, cold French fries (along with a missing order of mushroom toast) for $48 (including tip). Server made no attempt to help make things right other than removing the appetizer we didn’t receive from the bill. We declined ordering entrees because it was very noisy and uncomfortable. Won’t try again and will warn others off.

    I think it was a challenging night for the restaurant. They were out of several of their entrees, they were also out of some of the beers we requested.

    Very good! They work with the hotel to give you credits and a nice discount if you book a room. The food was great, the vibe was very warm and inviting, drinks strong, and staff helpful. I recommend you eat there at least once during your stay.

    Elsie’s Daughter has always been our go-to for cocktails by candlelight! The ambience and warmth makes this my favorite little gem in Chattanooga. Today’s brunch was incredible! It is obvious that just as much thought and care was put into this menu as is the dinner options. Definitely check Elsie’s out for both services! You won’t leave disappointed.
