Testimonials

I stayed at the Chattanoogan with my family and we had the most amazing experience at their restaurant called Forge! It was very quiet and we got to talk a lot with a chef Jason who cooked us the MOST delicious meals, not one but TWO meals that were out of this world. When you can make green beans taste phenomenal that is truly a gift. The flavors, juiciness, tender meat, exquisite cheeses on the chef’s board, I could go on and on.

Some of the most thoughtfully created, delicious meals of my life! Locally sourced, fresh and the most creative taste profiles!! From the panna cotta to the lemon lavender cake (as I would call it, they have much better names for them on their gorgeous menu!) to venison and wild boar – nothing was less than exceptional. It is AMAZING to have a wild-game centric menu in Chattanooga. a MUST when visiting or wanting a beautiful, delicious meal locally. Really truly astounded with the creations, pairings and taste profiles. 10000000/10. Chef Chris, Chef Angie and Chef Jason all pour their hearts into the creations and you can tell! Many thanks! We will be back

Lovely restaurant, refreshed and relaxing decor and good food. Our server was excellent and engaging, making sure we were well looked after. Their made-in-house smoked cherry jam was amazing I wish they would jar it and sell it. Thank you!
