The food and service here were good not great. I had a good meal and the drinks were good but I was expecting more. I felt that with the excellent atmosphere that the food would have been better.

Incredible meal handpicked by Chef Cliff Wheeler. I asked him to send me whatever vegetarian dish he’d like. Surprise me! FABULOUS blood orange faro, roasted veg, butternut squash puree.

Customer service was top notch! The food was absolutely delicious. We share small plates. This is "the norm" for The meeting place.
I took my girlfriend here on a date and didn't realize it was jazz night. It was nice to hear live music and didn't really mind. The food was amazing! We ate the salad, salmon, Burger, and carrot cake souffle. Everything was delicious! Our server was very kind and informed the kitchen on the dishes we were splitting and also boxed our leftovers for us. The kitchen may have been very busy because in total we were about a little over an hour and a half. I recommend eating here.

Wow! What a place. We stopped in for happy hour on a Thursday night before grabbing dinner somewhere after and were blown away. It was not crowded at all and we were seated upstairs in the bar area, which had an extremely romantic and relaxing atmosphere. Their happy hour menu is top notch. We greatly enjoyed the fall sangria and French 75. Service was quick and attentive. We will have to check this place out for food another time!
We went for the first time last night and it was wonderful. We would go back again! The atmosphere is so unique and we loved the decor. The food and drinks were delicious. We got the fried rice and steak and the fried goat cheese. It was so yummy! We want to come back for jazz night on Thursdays!

100% Meeting Place! We came in (from out of town, after hiking, so not dressy) within an hour of closing and everything-- the relaxed vibe, the friendly staff, the food, the drink was just lovely. We had small plates: pork belly, lobster rolls, lettuces and then dessert. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend.

My wife and I’d been to St John’s for our anniversary and it was great, but we thought for this one the meeting place might be worth a try. We had an absolutely wonderful time! Our server, Josh, and the accompanying staff made our dinner and experience truly special. We felt welcome, listened to, not sped along, and as though we were the only customer there. I didn’t realize it until I looked at the time as we were leaving, but we were also around a half hour earlier than expected, but the hostess sat us without issue or mentioning our misstep.We got scallops and tartare for apps to share, salmon and duck for mains, and split the mocha bombe for dessert. my wife got a Malbec, which was smooth and complemented the duck well. I had the “muscadine with me”, and “frightened coconuts” (if I recall those name correctly). The cocktails were of a higher dining caliber than I, making me wish I had a more discriminating palette. I’d never had a drink made from “washed” spirits, but it was amazing; unctuous mouth feel and reasonably spirit forward. Glad I tried them!The service was as good as we’ve had in Chattanooga, as was the food! The live jazz was a welcome surprise, as well.Overall, an excellent evening. The meeting place feels skillfully run, accommodating, and is a business clearly prioritizing staffing great employees in front- and back-of-house positions. We definitely look forward to returning and enjoying more meals here, special occasion or not. Thank you again for such an unforgettable night!

One of the best places in Chattanooga to be sure. The staff is incredibly attentive without being overbearing, the food is always delicious, especially the Pork Belly dishes and Risotto. Worth multiple visits.
Great place, highly recommend!
