    My family and I decided to go out for a formal Christmas dinner this year. If you don’t have food allergies, and a server that knows their menu, I think their curated 4 course meal would be close to being worth the money. However I did call prior to ask about gluten free accommodations and they seemed to assure me the chef had options. Upon arrival, the first and second course ended up being two variations of a salad and unfortunately the server still ended up bringing me the option with bread in it. I will say their salmon was cooked very well so that was something I was able to enjoy. Last course dessert—I was highly disappointed. Their “eggnog” was the Gf option and was more like a bland custard with very sour cranberry preserve on top. Overall: subpar for the amount I ended up paying at the end. Most likely, I will not be returning.

    I have to say that everything was great. The food was not only delicious but pleasing to the eye. I appreciated being given a menu so you knew what was coming up. The choice of dishes chosen by the chef were spot on! Our server could not have been more attentive. The only thing I can say in the negative (and it definitely not a complaint) is that the tables could have used a holiday touch. We loved our experience and if we’re lucky enough to come back to Chattanooga, dinner at the Forge will definitely be on our list!

    We were so disappointed with our daughters graduation dinner at Forge. We met Bill the GM earlier that day and he seemed wonderful. However, the service was terrible and the extra charges they packed onto the bill were unacceptable. The food was ok but the service was so slow that we never received some things we wanted and were charged anyway. The jazz band was nice but the restaurant was empty. I guess now we know why. Beautiful hotel though and perfect location

We will certainly look into the issues you mentioned regarding service delays and unexpected charges, as we always want to ensure transparency and value for our guests.

    The food was not worth the price charged. There were no salad options or other hot dishes, the desserts were weak. Last year was better.

    Took whole family, they really enjoyed the variety of food and quality. I was unable to eat anything due to food allergies, which wasn't ideal. Left multiple messages at the restaurant with no call back over past month to see if I could order from menu, so I brought the family hoping their would be some options, but there were not, so I had an ice tea while everyone else ate. Our server was great and advised me appropriately that it was not safe.

    Our first time celebrating Thanksgiving out on the town! Overall a great experience. The selection of food was outstanding. A little mess up when we first arrived as we were seated a few feet away from the buffet line of people however a sever gladly moved us to her table out of the line of traffic. Some of the initial salad bar items were empty or extremely picked over at first and needed to be replaced with new dishes but that could have been due to the new group seating time. After the initial confusion everything was great! The turkey and prime rib were excellent. All of the sides were very good too. Loved the dessert offerings. Our server was quick to check on us and refresh our drinks but didn’t hover. We would definitely try this again next year!!

    Thanksgiving buffet was disappointing. All the food was cold to room temperature. Trays were empty and never refilled so if you weren't first in line, you missed out. They didn't replace items until it was too late to eat it because now your on dessert. As to the desserts, terrible apparently grocery store bought pies. Service was slow. Absolutely no holiday decor in the dining room. In fact there was only 1 small Christmas tree in the lobby. No holiday music. Not a single amount of ambiance to be had. Very expensive buffet that was not worth the price. We were very disappointed.

    Some of the warm food was cold, the shrimp cocktail were mushy. Wish they’d been displayed on a bed of ice, in past years they were always very good and lastly it would have been nice to have a cobbler option for dessert.
