    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.

    We made a reservation and they seated us on the patio when there were plenty of seats inside avaliable. The heaters could not keep the room warm. We were freezing and our food got cold as soon as it came out. Service was okay but it seemed like our waiter thought it was too cold to even check on us. Food was fine. Not great. Overall just a disappointing experience.
    Elsie's DaughterResponded on December 11, 2024
    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly apologize for the discomfort you experienced on the patio and understand how frustrating it can be when the temperature affects your meal. We appreciate your comments about the food and service, and we’re sorry that we didn’t meet your expectations this time. If this had been brought to our attention during your visit, we would have done everything we could to make it right. We’d love to have the opportunity to address this personally and ensure you have a much better experience in the future. Please feel free to reach out to us directly, and we’d be happy to make it right for you. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back soon.
