The food isn't what it used to be since one of their top chefs departed to open his own restaurant. The wait for food has increased significantly, and the quality has become mediocre. I visited a second time and had the same experience. On the bright side, the ambiance and service remain excellent, particularly at the rooftop bar, Whiskey Thief. The cocktails and views from there are outstanding. I really hope they can return to their previous high standards for food quality, as we've enjoyed dining here for years.

Cam 2022 with my family back to dinner menu and was delighted with the consistency. Each dish looked and tasted as amazing as it sounded on the menu. My 10 and 8 years old enjoyed the exchange in the menu options for adults, and my husbands refined range was also enthusiastic. All employees are exceptional and our waiter, Joe, could not have been a gentleman anymore. Our cocktails were delicious, desert was divine, and the atmosphere was beautiful. 10/10.

When you walk into @whitebirdchattanooga you definitely are transported to an airy restaurant space with white curtains and tiny table arrangements. The food is very tastefully done and the portions are just right. I definitely suggesthaving a drink, ordering the biscuits and spinach with fries oysters, and having the lamb as your entree. You can't go wrong.

Let me say at the top, sometimes it’s important to distinguish food from service. Though service can make or break a meal, I understand when youcatch someone on a bad day….it was that day. Let’s get to the food!! I ordered hot iron crab dip and toast points, fruitbowl and a platter of biscuits with apple and apricot butter. The crab dip was loved by everyone with plenty of crab,appropriately spiced and a hearty portion. We had to order more toast points; too bad they showed up ten minutes later, but Idigress. The fruit was super fresh and of the highest quality. The biscuits were some of the best I’ve ever had, period. Weordered the brisket and eggs, scramblers and a couple of eggs Benedict. Since I didn’t sample everyone’s dish, I’ll onlyspeak to the Benedict. As you can see from the pic, very small dollop of hollandaise, the ham was full of fat and leaders. I wasforced to cut dabs of meat off and put the inedible portions on the side. Overall the flavor was…meh. I ordered a side ofskillet potatoes to go with the Benedict since it doesn’t come with a side, they didn’t arrive with the meal. After flaggingdown a new waiter, don’t know where the first one wandered off to, I got the potatoes when I had a few bites left.Nevertheless, they were very good! I believe Whitebird has the ambiance and decor nailed. They’re close on the food, thekitchen manager just has to insure execution is consistently up to snuff. I’ll give them another try.
