Number Ten

Number Ten provided the ideal backdrop for celebrating our 12th anniversary. From the start, the experience was seamless; the reservation process was quick and easy, and our table was ready exactly at the scheduled time. This attention to detail set the stage for what turned out to be a great evening. ​The atmosphere itself is intimate and refined, perfect for a special occasion. While the open dining area can get a bit noisy due to limited sound dampening, it genuinely did not take away from the quality of our date. The entire staff deserves kudos—every member was courteous and professional, ensuring our evening felt personalized and well-cared for. ​We started the night with their excellent cocktail selection, featuring great drinks that thoughtfully incorporate Chattanooga Whiskey. For the appetizer, the smoked pork belly was incredible. The combination of the tender pork, apricot glaze , and refreshing slaw was a standout highlight of the meal. ​For the main course, the ribeye was the star, cooked perfectly to temperature—tender, and full of flavor. Since we prioritize low-carb dining, we were delighted with the side options and thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly prepared brussel sprouts and creamed spinach. The sides are served al la carte family style, so they are large enough to share. Finally, as a special treat for our anniversary, we enjoyed the balckberry cheesecake, which was the perfect celebratory finish. ​Overall, Number Ten of Chattanooga provides a top-tier dining experience. The combination of fantastic service, expertly prepared food, and a commitment to making guests feel special earns this restaurant a confident five stars. This was our first trip to Chattanooga and Number Ten will be on our list every time in the future.

I went to Number 10 for the first time tonight, and I can't recommend it enough. Chef Manny nailed every item I ordered on the menu, guaranteeing my return for the dishes I did not get to try tonight. My bartender was Jill, and while she gave fabulous service, her and Nico really helped me come up with a game plan for what I should order. I ended up trying the bone marrow, meatballs, filet mignon, and mushrooms! I took home a dessert for the house.. The food was so tempting, the only dish I remembered to take a picture of *before eating was the bone marrow.. I can't wait to dig into my chocolate cake! (Not pictured)

Absolutely awful from the start. Walked in the door and stood there, it was dead. Server greeted us and let us know the host would be by shortly, he wasn't. When he finally arrived, he seemed put out and did not even bother to greet us. Made it to our booth which was fine, they are all wood with no padding. Server was pleasant and made recommendations based on my requests, the ribeye and meatloaf with some sides. Now this is where things got bad. Ceasar salad: good, a bit over dressed but good. Meatloaf: awful. Dry and flavorless. The mushroom gravy was actually pretty darn good. Ribeye(medium rare): not a great looking cut to start. The eye had no marbling, the cap was small but tender. The taste was terrible, bitter from a burnt seasoning or a poorly treated grill. Just terrible. It's a steak place FFS. The sauces: The chimi was sweet but taste was fine but unnecessarily sweet. Worcester sauce was viciously salty and too strong. Horseradish was fine Peppercorn sauce was again unnecessarily sweet and had no flavor. Mac and cheese: I'm pretty sure they forgot the cheese, salt and pepper. Utterly flavorless and really felt like they were noodles and cream. Roasted mushrooms: awesome. The one dish that worked. The worst part We ate one bite of our meatloaf and 2 bites of the ribeye but the server just didn't acknowledge it at all. She offered to box and we declined. I think they are trained to avoid removing items from the check, it just didn't cross her mind that we were very not happy. Cost: absurd. 2 drinks, a ceasar, ribeye, meatloaf and 2 sides for $153. Awful from start to finish, food was awful and the host just completely sucked.

Update 9/12/25 - Went to celebrate a birthday and it was as good as last time, maybe even better. Incredible filet that was cooked to perfection. The meatballs for a starter were impressive. The mac-n- cheese was great and the mashed potatoes were good. The chocolate cake for dessert was delicious. I'll definitely go back

We went to Number 10 expecting a high-end experience. What we got was… well, a mixed bag—and a sore butt. Let’s start there. The booth seats were so uncomfortable I left the restaurant with a new appreciation for ergonomic office chairs. For a $200+ meal for two, I didn’t expect to walk away feeling like I just rode a Greyhound to Memphis. I ordered two margarita-inspired cocktails. The first one was so sour it could’ve stripped paint. My cheeks puckered so hard I thought I’d need a chiropractor. The second tried to reinvent the wheel with smoky notes and bitter twists—it ended up tasting like someone stirred it with a hospital swab. Creative? Sure. Enjoyable? Not so much. Our server? She was a rockstar—kind, professional, and clearly working her tail off. But she was also stretched way too thin. Water never got refilled, not once, and not because she didn’t care—because she was basically running a relay race from table to table. If you’re going to charge fine-dining prices, staff like it’s fine dining. Now, the food itself was the highlight. We ordered the tomahawk for two with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and the entrée itself delivered—well-seasoned, tender, and cooked beautifully. The chimichurri was incredible—fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The horseradish sauce also hit the mark with a nice punch. Unfortunately, the Worcestershire and peppercorn sauces missed completely. Both had a burnt, bitter taste that clashed with the quality of the meat. At $3 each if ordered on their own, it’s a detail that shouldn’t be overlooked. There’s a great restaurant hiding in there somewhere—it just needs a little less style, a little more substance, and maybe a cushion for the booth.

Very good food and the wait times weren’t bad. We didn’t care for the mashed potatoes but everything else was good. The hostess was super friendly. We are from out of state and it was our anniversary and we asked him to take a photo for us. We expected a quick photo in the lobby but he offered to take us outside and take some. He really made the experience for us.

Just not great. I wanted to love it but they have a lot of work to do. The service was extremely slow. Friendly for sure, professional in ways, but when you wait 25 minutes with no drinks and you keep hearing in a super friendly tone that they are working on it and she’ll check on them, the friendliness doesn’t matter. I got a peppercorn sauce on my steak and it was sweet. Not at all what it should be. Just a huge miss. We got the garlic herb fries and despite dumping salt on it they had no flavor. Garlic herb with no flavor - explain that. The brussel sprouts were equally blah. The place is cool. They have created a great space. I wish the food and service were better.

Absolutely amazing will be back 😁 and can't wait. Gracie was absolutely phenomenal waitress. We absolutely love the number 10 as always
