The environment is nice.Service is pretty good.Food: We tried tomahawk steak 32 Oz, it was good, but it’s only the steak and the sides are very expensive and the portion is not that great. Mashed potatoes ($20) and it’s like a portion for 1 person. Whatever side is around that price and is not big. I think paying that for sides is insane and it’s nothing extravagant, it’s only mashed potatoes.Crème brûlée was awesome 10/10Scenic sour cocktail was fenomenal 10/10Overall, it’s a nice place but overpriced for what you get.

Tried to walk up and make reservation at 5:15. Hostess said it would be 8:00. I opened reservation app and made for 7?? Ordered medium burgers. Burgers were way over cooked. Definitely well done. Visit this hotel monthly. Won't be going back to Bridgemans.

Was so good we ate there 2 nights over a 3 day getaway. Alan was an absolute pleasure at the bar. Our server was outstanding and the food was exceptional.
Took my wife for her birthday. Had an exceptional Server (Jeff, I think) he was very attentive and helpful with the menu. The oyster Rockefeller is a must.Parking: Just use the valet service.
The manager victor does not deserve to be a manager he is rude especially to women talks down to them and is arrogant I will never eat here again because of

The filet was incredible and don't pass on the Brussels! Byron was attentive and humerous that made for a fantastic dinner.
What a disappointment. Bridgeman's claims to be an elegant and romantic classic high end steakhouse, but they failed my wife and me on several counts this week. Our Sunday night Anniversary dinner derailed immediately. Bad table, lukewarm food, and frat boys wearing sweatshirts, jeans, sneakers and baseball caps in the dining room.The inexperienced hostess wanted to seat us at the table next to the hostess stand, in the middle of all the traffic in and out. I asked for something else, and we were seated at an awkward table for 4. There were several cozy more appropriate tables for 2 that never got used during our 3 hour dinner, I can't imagine what the hostess was thinking with the odd table assignments.Lukewarm steak and lobster tail, had to be sent back to the kitchen. My wife ate her dinner while I waited for a replacement, never a good situation. Replacement ribeye was tough, and the waiter shrugged it off when I commented about it, he clearly was sending me a message that he believed I was a "problem" customer who didn't merit any more attention. Manager did offer a complimentary glass of wine, but I refused. I do not troll for free stuff. What I ask and expect is that a restaurant that purports to be high end fine dining deliver an experience commensurate with the high price tag. (In my case, our final bill was $378).Finally, set a dress code if you truly want a classy, elegant restaurant. There were four 30-something men in jeans/sneakers/hoodies/baseball caps dining at an adjacent table who looked like Bill Belichick's sons fresh out of an afternoon at Dave and Buster's. Bridgeman's advertises "elegance", but they misfire and don't deliver it. Never again for me.

Allen, the bartender, is amazing! Best time you will have and DEFINITELY try the Peanut Butter Allen….goodness that is addictive! Ask for Chris for your server at dinner. He’s perfection and has fun with you and your group. Loved both nights at this amazing restaurant. AND the steaks are PERFECT.You’re welcome…enjoy!!
My partner and I celebrated his birthday here this week. It was a great way to end a vacation in Chattanooga. The Read Room is a beautiful hotel and the restaurant and ambience is amazing. My partner and I want to plan another trip to visit again! The waiter made good suggestions, though there was time that the service was a little slow, and long periods where it was difficult to find the service or get anyone’s attention. Otherwise, it was a great experience! Best beet salad I’ve ever had!

This is a hidden gem in our backyard! Perfectly located inside the Read House, we finally gave it a try and when compared to Ruth Chris, it's unmatched. Service was top notch, food was delicious, atmosphere was giving sexy and cozy. Great for a date night, or business meeting, price was great, not overpriced. Didn't take photos but presentation was great, food came out fast. Will definitely be back.
