Whitebird

Beautiful Spot for Brunch – But Be Ready to Wait White Birds is an absolutely stunning restaurant! My family and I chose it for our Easter brunch, and the ambiance did not disappoint—elegant decor, classy atmosphere, and fresh flowers on every table made it feel really special. However, I was surprised by how long the service took, especially since the restaurant was nearly empty. We waited about 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order, and I eventually had to ask another server for help. Our assigned waiter wasn’t very attentive, which was disappointing. That said, the food was wonderful! I had the peach crêpes, and they were fantabulous. Every dish at our table was well-prepared and beautifully presented. Overall, it’s a gorgeous location with great food—just be prepared for slower service. Hopefully they can improve on that, because everything else was lovely.

First of all, I would like to thank all the staff of Whitebird for the magical night for dinner. This restaurant is on the first floor of the Edwin Hotel right next to the Walnut Street bridge, Hunter Museum, and all the romantic spots in the art district. With this type of setting, you know the night will be magical. Extra points for whoever came up with the idea to out see through igloo"s just outside the restaurant patio next to the bridges. Yes, you are reading that correctly. You can spend a romantic dinner in a see-through igloo with white lights and all the night sky in an intimate, darker setting. You only find two of these, so i would book in advance for this special venue. My date and I absolutely loved the decor, atmosphere, staff, and the food. I have a gluten allergy to Wheat, and all the staff went out of their way to make sure my night was perfect with no cross-contamination. The owner, manager, and all the staff were top-notch for a true white glove fine dining should be. Now to the food. I ordered the salad, thinking it would be on the smaller side. Nope, it was a large portion and amazing flavor with ingredients not used much in salads you would find at a restaurant. This was a real chef cooked/ prepared to order. Next, we had the grilled chicken mini sliders with a sauce that was delicious to dip into. I'm not sure what it was, but wow, it made the flavors come out more. I also got the garlic mashed potatoes. This was definitely my favorite with just the right amount of ingredients and fresh potatoes, not instant garage, like some restaurants try to pass as mashed potatoes. Nope, nothing but the best and finest quality of food, cooked to order Cordon Bleu chef. They had a gluten free buns, so I got a grilled chicken sandwich that was delicious. The evening was nothing less but magical with the sunset going down the stung lights in the igloo. Dinner was just perfect and a nice walk on the bridges to in the evening. I would highly recommend this restaurant and experience for your next romantic dinner date. Don't take my word for it make. Go see for yourself the magic that awaits. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely Would I return? Absolutely

We so enjoyed our dinner at Whitebird!! Kenny, our waiter, was so just kind and wonderful. And the food and drinks were amazing!! This is our first visit to Chattanooga, and definitely will return to this restaurant! Beautiful setting, and our 2.5 year old ate more than she ever has while eating out! I couldn’t have been happier. The filet was AMAZING! My husband loved the Harvest Salad with chicken. Everyone was so kind. Thank you, all!

While staying at the Edwin, we enjoyed a lovely dinner here. The space is beautiful and comfortable. The service was impeccable, and the food and drinks were delicious! We enjoyed cocktails, appetizers, a main meal, and dessert. While everything we consumed here was excellent, our stand out dishes were the appetizer of mussels and the smoked venison meal, both recommended by the staff. We were impressed with the food quality and pleased with the price. In addition an attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant staff surely does increase the value of any dining experience. We hope to return!

We had a lovely time, the ambience was nice. The music was lovely. I’ll waiter was Kenny. He was very professional and the food was delicious. We really enjoyed our Thursday night it’s a must do again. We are Golden

I really liked the food and drinks here. It’s southern fare done very well and a bit fancified. The only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the peach blackberry crumble. My favorite part of the crumble is the crumble, the oats and brown sugar that have absorbed the fruit juices. Their crumble was missing the crumble. The peaches and blackberries and ice cream were very sweet and there was nothing to balance it. Other than that the dishes all had great flavor balance. I wish the server had checked on us just a bit more frequently but other than that service was also excellent.

Our food was delicious! There was a reasonable wait time between ordering and receiving food. The pancakes were huge!

We had a really nice brunch here. Had the biscuits with sorghum butter, jam and apple butter. One person got the Bennie I believe, a Benedict egg on a fried green tomato. The Belgium waffle with whiskey infused banana foster and spicy chocolate was AMAZING. I have high standards for brunch places and I feel like Chatt is kind of all over the place tryin to find a good one. They delivered here. And the atmosphere was very nice inside the Edwin hotel. Great place for any occasion. Service was great too. Only hiccup was the reservations through the app - they claimed they didn't have us down when I had a confirmation text saying we booked online...and their phone line doesn't give you options to really make a reservation that way.

LOVED IT! Was in town for a wedding & had a group of 8 -- we had a blast! The waiter (Sky) was fun & had great suggestions. He made a GREAT cappuccino & we found out that he trained with an ITALIAN mentor! It shows! :) The restaurant is on the ground level of the Edwin Hotel & it is GORGEOUS! White walls, big windows, and classy finishes make this a wonderful space to share a meal with friends (& make new ones!) It was a rainy evening & they had the CUTEST clear plastic "igloos" over the outdoor tables! If there were only 2 or 4 of us, I'd have requested to sit out there! Next time! We sampled MANY items from the menu with NO complaints -- but a few stand-outs were the Apple & Goat Cheese Salad (kale, frisee, arugula, pomegranate, candied pecans, spiced peach vinaigrette dressing -- ALL my faves!); Fried Green Tomatoes (I'm from the South & these are taken to the NEXT LEVEL with the addition of house-smoked pork belly & pepper jam!); Heirloom Cornbread (honey-pecan butter!); the Butter Basted Trout (suggested by Sky, was amazing!); we closed off with Bananas Foster & Chocolate Bread Pudding. I don't know WHERE we put it, but it went down DELICIOUSLY! Only one disappointment. While still tasty, the Three Sisters Pot Pie was a bit bland, compared to the other FLAVORFUL dishes we had. I do admit that I'm a pot pie connoisseur so I'm VERY VERY picky. :) My husband commented, "Why doesn't EVERYONE come here?! There SHOULD be a wait!!" He's right -- maybe we just got in before the crowds find out about it. Needless to say, we'll DEFINITELY go back next time we're in town!

We arrived at 5:30 to a restaurant with one table that was seated. 2 hours later, we received our cold food, server Danny was lame, bolognese was ground beef. Don't waste an opportunity to have a great meal in Chattanooga. The restaurant was clean and the ambiance was good the first 2 hours. As it filled up, all of the hard surfaces created a loud environment. Brandon, our server's assistant was very good. He was friendly, polite and checking in frequently.

Paid fixed fee for Easter Brunch ($59 pp). Appetizer buffet kept running out of many items and were not replaced. Drinks that were ordered were made without specified ingredients and charged full price even though key ingredients were missing (ex. Loaded Bloody Mary served with only olives). Entrees all had poached eggs that were served with completely hard yolks (way over cooked). Spent over $400 for quite a subpar meal. Also, didn't appreciate the included 22% service fee for slow and sloppy service.

Great service and modern ambiance. Food was delicious as well! Josh and Amber took great care of us!

Whitebird is situated in the absolutely beautiful Edwin Hotel. I would love to go back and just sit with a hot cocoa in their lobby! My daughter and I stopped by for brunch during the Head of the Hooch regatta. We started with the crab dip. It was huge and absolutely amazing. The accompanying baguette had the right amount of crisp to stand up to the dip. The dip itself had so much crab and a nice spice to cut the richness. We also split the chocolate and banana waffle. After the dip, it was like dessert! We especially liked the spicy chocolate sauce. The perfect amount of food for two. I get the sense that not every dish on the menu is as great as these were. For example, our friends at a nearby table were very disappointed with their brisket. So choose carefully? The service left much to be desired. My daughter's water glass was empty for nearly 15 minutes. It's not a huge restaurant and it wasn't full, so I'm not sure why this was. We also waited quite some time for the check. If you have time to be leisurely, order the crab dip, sit back and relax. It will be worth your while.

This is the restaurant at The Edwin Hotel. Because we had all kinds of plans, we did not experience this restaurant other than a brunch with our group of 10 on the Sunday morning before we all departed. The location is great. The restaurant is clean and spacious. My wife and I each had one of the breakfast Tartines. I had the Avocado, which features a sunny side egg, red onion, tomato, chilis, lemon herb cream cheese, crunchy grains, sourdough bread - it was excellent and a fair price. My wife had the heirloom tomatoes, which features garlic olive oil, whipped goat cheese, pesto, and 9 grain bread. Just really good and creative brunch food. For a group this large, everything was highly efficient. If you are one of those people who avoid hotel restaurants because you think they are generally not that good, rest assured that eating here is not a copout at all, it is good food.

Whitebird was a stellar dinner and brunch experience. Our server, Garren, was beyond wonderful and definitely the reason for 5 stars (and the reason we came back the next morning!). Cocktails were delicious. Food was prepared beautifully and expertly. Only downside of dinner was dessert -- the panna cotta had waaaay too much gelatin and definitely looked better than it tasted (but this disappointment isn't enough to take off a star). We sat outside where there was great people watching in the evening and stayed indoors for brunch. Dining room and rest rooms were clean and tastefully done. Do not skip the biscuits at brunch , in fact, take some home - they are perfection!

Our last trip to Chattanooga found us spending our first night for dinner at the glorious Whitebird, located at the Edwin Hotel, which has a spectacular view of the Tennessee River. The view is quite grand to witness, especially during the golden hour. The food was equally as grand and tasty as where we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our table was in the stylish main dining area -- white painted walls, with scores of clear bulbs hanging from the ceiling. The Whitebird statue was situated in the corner close to where we sat, creating an ambiance of spiritual and strength, strength and spiritual purity. Our cocktails were incredibly satisfying. The Passion on a Plane was a bourbon-based drink made with Italian liquors, passion fruit, lemon, and bitters that took me off on a journey from which I wasn't sure where I would land. The Barrel-Aged Old Fashioned was a winner, using Weller Special Reserve wheated bourbon as a base. The Three Violet Delights was my voyage into cocktails with tequila for the evening. It was fabulous, especially when combined with the mezcal, creme de Violette, lime, agave, and ginger beer. For a starter, we enjoyed the charred peach and crispy speck ham -- a gluten-free dish served with whipped goat cheese. The salty and savory of the goat cheese and crispy speck ham combined with the sweetness of the peach is fantastic. For an entree, I devoured the smoked short rib served with fingerling potatoes, carrot puree, fried carrots, and pickled onions (gluten-free). The Brussel sprouts we ordered were tasty with the bacon onion marmalade. Finishing the meal with the Orange Chocolate Panna Cotta made the experience perfect at Whitebird. The restaurant delivers a fantastic dining experience that we would do again and again.

Beautiful place inside the lovely Edwin hotel. The food was great, although the portion of the tartine was pretty small. Reservations were a little confusing. I tried to make a Reservation for brunch and the website said that no Reservations are required for breakfast or brunch. But when we arrived, the hostess asked us if we had Reservations. We sat at the bar so the service wasn't great. The decor was really beautiful, modern and clean. I'll definitely go back and try again.

This place is truly wow, I love the whiskey thief upstairs but my wife and I decided to get Valentine's Day dinner downstairs at Whitebird and it was perfect! We brought our 6 month old little guy and the staff were so sweet and accommodating with offering a high chair and such. We got the smoked crab dip as an appetizer and it was dreamy creamy deliciousness. Our main courses were incredible just the same, had a nice Pinot Grigio and Double IPA to help wash it all down. Our waitress gave us two chocolate covered strawberries to finish it all off and it made for such an enjoyable night.

Great food in the hotel. We came here for breakfast and dinner and loved it. Definitely recommend this place.

Loved every minute of our lunch at Whitebird! Danny was our server, could not have asked for a more competent, patient, personable person! We were a party of 7 plus 2 babies and a toddler, we were hot and hangry....all 10 of us!! The food was amazing and the service was exemplary!!...

Delicious farm to table memory it was great service and wonderful food. Josh was our server and he was great!!!

We stayed at the Edwin Hotel and ate diner at Whitebird. Loved all of the food except the wedge. The wedge is a large portion of romaine with carrot ribbons and radishes. The dressing is where this salad fell short. It takes like olive oil and a mix of herbs. It was a bit bland for my taste. The salmon and lamb was excellent. Service was great and it was fun to watch the kitchen at work.

Best restaurant meal ever! I had the salmon and hubby had the trout and they were both incredibly delicious and we shared. Our waiter was wonderful. We are celebrating our 40th anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better spot!

Whitebird was a lovely dining place with a bridge view and we sat in the outdoor seating where you could hear live music. Def gave upscale hotel vibes. Our server Sky was very quick and friendly. We had the oyster appetizer and vegetarian entree and venison entree. The food was good, nice date night but def very pricey.

Definitely upscale dining- the setting was gorgeous overlooking the bridge. Service was impeccable and incredibly fast. We never had a need as they were met before even asking. The drinks were unique and so delicious. The food- where do I even start. The filet was delicious and perfectly cooked to my liking, not the cooks. And the accompaniments- garlic mashed, peppers, shrooms, sprouts and squash- my mouth is watering just thinking of it. My date quickly regretted his burger, however stated it was delicious! The money spent was well worth every single penny. Portion sizes were larger than I was expecting, but not complaining. If you are considering Whitebird, RUN, don't walk to this delectable establishment and spoil yourself with fabulous service and food!

The atmosphere was beautiful and the food was delectable. One issue I had was with the wait/hostess this evening. My husband and I came here for the first time NYE (tonight). We had reservations and still had to wait 30 minutes for a table, although there were several tables open. The hostess showed absolutely no sense of urgency in anything she did. I was very disappointed in this. Other than the wait and the hostess not seeming to care, I enjoyed dinner here.

Great location for breakfast if you are in Chattanooga and looking for a place that makes really good food. Ate here with a party of 10 and they were very accommodating and able to find a table large enough to seat us. Shout out to Molly who was a fabulous host who not only made sure we were happy but had really good recommendations about menu selections. I personally had the smoked salmon avocado toast with a side of chicken sausage and it was amazing! Everything was perfectly made, which is a rarity in dining today. The house made jam and was very tasty on the biscuit, highly recommended! This is one of my favorite places now and will definitely make sure to come back again. Highly recommended!

We had made reservations for 6:15 9/30/23. We were greeted promptly. The atmosphere was delightful. The outdoor setting was beautiful near the walnut street pedestrian bridge. We sat inside. We were greeted by the server quickly. The mushroom bruschetta was amazing! The main dish sautéed scallops were prepared with brown butter and seasonal veggies. The freshness of the food was beautiful. I highly recommend giving it a try!

When you walk in the hotel you see a beautiful lobby take a left and there's Whitebird. It's a beautiful place and classy. We started with the biscuits, you get four they are crunchy on outside and soft on inside. They give you honey butter ( delicious) and apple butter ( delicious) and some jam We then ordered our brunch I had the Nutella waffles, they were mouthwatering I ate every bit of it. Husband had the Benedict and the eggs were cooked perfectly ( we all know that doesn't happen all the time ) It was delicious too. By far one of the best places to have brunch. We then went up the elevator to Whiskey Thief ( the bar upstairs). It has views of the walnut street bridge and you can go out on the deck. Great place for a drink. All in all we loved it ! Hubby had a Bloody Mary too spicy but excellent

PB&J French toast was so delicious. The coffee was great, I got a vanilla latte. Beautiful decor in the restaurant. Our waiter, Chase, was super friendly.

I absolutely loved the ambiance and decor in this restaurant. We went for brunch and had the fried green tomatoes and biscuits for appetizers, and I can't say enough good things. The plating is beautiful and the food was fantastic. Our server was great too - he checked in often and was very attentive.

Food was ok but service for our party of 6 was terrible. Waiter added a 22% gratuity without telling us in advance - large party automatic gratuities are normal (I entertain professionally on a regular basis) but at higher end establishments like Whitebird at some point during the meal the server shared that information with the party host. This particular server didn't even come close to providing service at an acceptable level and seemed perturbed we were there. Will not entertain here again.

The restaurant is very pretty and high class. The service was ok and the food was good. Not a big menu to select from and nothing overall to rave about. I was hoping for more but this was just all ok.

This place did not disappoint! Absolutely beautiful setting, very well decorated, very pleasant and elegant. The staff was friendly, our food and drinks came out at the right time. Their spritz are delicious!! Recommended! My boyfriend and I weren't too hungry so we decided to split a greens salada and the beef hanger steak and OMG that steak was amazing!! I would 100% come back and visit again! Excellent experience! Everything was impeccable, staff wearing masks at all times and tables were spaced out. Valet parking is offered for the restaurant and hotel.

Only had 30min for bfast and we really appreciated how fast we were able to order and have food out. Probably top 3 scramble we've ever had with chorizo. Excellent flavor. Not a boring breakfast. Very satisfied.

We stayed in Edwin Hotel and this restaurant is right there. We tried it for breakfast before and it was really good, so after a long day we decided to try it for dinner also. Did not disappoint!!! Servers are very friendly, our server Joe ( Frank) was awesome! Food was delicious! Service was a bit slow but on vacation, we weren't in a hurry! The restaurant has a great decor and super clean!

Such a wonderful dining experience~ Inside the The Edwin hotel which is gorgeous! Right beside the walking bridge and Tennessee river..

Poor and inattentive service. Limited pedestrian menu. High prices. Just another chicken breast, strip steak, salmon with high prices place.

We stopped here for a late breakfast on our way out of town. We sat outside on a beautiful foggy morning and throughly enjoyed it. Our breakfast was delicious and the wait staff was kind and helpful. They had a fig and raspberry jam that I couldn't eaten with a spoon!!!! Soooo good! It's right by the pedestrian bridge so we were able to take a light stroll after our yummy breakfast.

Love the atmosphere, ordered smoked beets and fried green tomatoes and they were great, my Venison was pretty good as well but my husband's pasta wasn't to his satisfaction as there was very little pasta and a lot of full size carrots. For desert we ordered Crème Brûlée and Toffee cake with vanilla ice cream. Those were great. I think it wasn't necessary to put mashed raspberries on the top of crème brûlée, because my favorite part is to break sugary crust and raspberries melted that. In overall I enjoyed our experience, except for the fact that we were seated in between two other tables that were in a close proximity to us and I felt like we couldn't talk without others hearing it. The rest of the restaurant was empty. So yeah... that.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. I came here almost one year ago in 2021 for brunch, which exceeded my expectations. Came back with my family for the dinner menu in 2022 and was delighted with the consistency. Every dish looked and tasted as amazing as it sounded on the menu. My 10 and 8 year olds enjoyed sharing in the adult menu options, and my husbands refined pallet was delighted as well. All of the staff are exceptional and our waiter, Joe, couldn't have been more of a gentleman. Our cocktails were tasty, desert was divine, and the atmosphere was beautiful. 10/10.

What a great experience! This restaurant inside the Edwin hotel has an ideal location at the riverfront, and was a perfect place to enjoy dinner before the Independence Day fireworks. Our server Cassie had a terrific energy, just the right combination of informality and efficiency. She offered recommendations which we took and we enjoyed a number of appetizers and small bites rather than entrees. While the wedge salad was a bit uninspiring, the hot crab dip and the pork belly certainly made up for it. With affordable pricing, excellent location, Superior service, and an overall energetic vibe, we certainly look forward to returning to WhiteBird at our next visit to the area.

Food has no flavor. Had to add salt and pepper to everything. Eggs were cold. Took 1 hour to get our breakfast food. Bartender was not super friendly or welcoming !! Also they forgot my sausage that was supposed to be included with my entree. But pretty place. Need some lessons on how to make sausage gravy lol

Poor and boring food with a too limited menu that does not entice.The server was nice and the atmosphere seemed lovely. But the food honestly was very lame. Not much to say honestly, left feeling pretty unhappy.

The old goat and I went til dinner with a reservation at 7:30 pm on a Friday, perfect spot to discuss 90 day fiancé. There were probably 6 other tables in the whole restaurant. The restaurant is in the Edwin hotel. The hotel is super cute with Whiskey thief upstairs. Atmosphere: The vibe from the hotel carries over into the restaurant. Very cute. It got busier After we sat and ordered a drink. That brought the mood up. Service: Our waiter, Devante, Was exceptional. He was very polite and attentive. Our drinks and food came out quickly and beautifully. Nothing to complain on with the service Drink/food: I ordered the city center for a drink. Very delicious in a cute glass;) the old goat ordered the filet and I ordered the salmon. Both were so good! Cooked perfectly. The corn served with the salmon was one of the best things I've had in awhile and the potatoes and asparagus with the steak were great too! For desert we had the coffee donut. This came with two different ice creams, coffee cake and beignets. So so so good. I would order all things again! Tip: this place is a little pricey but so worth it. We did street parking.

We tried Whitebird for brunch this morning, and, while it didn't knock my socks off, it was pretty good. We had a reservation for 10 am on a Sunday, but we didn't need it (they had plenty of tables available). We all started with coffees (decaf drip, cappuccino, and a flavored latte) - pretty good all around. My stepdad ordered a smoked salmon croquette "benedict," which they were able to make with egg whites per his request. He liked it. My mom special ordered a vegan dish, which came with sauteed mushrooms, a beet patty of some kind, some veggies, and some crostini - it was a bit random, but she said she enjoyed it. (I had picked Whitebird for brunch specifically because they had a dish that was labeled as vegan on the menu online the day I made the reservation. My mom is vegan, and I prefer to pick restaurants where she can select a dish without modifications or having to ask 100 questions. However, a few weeks later, and the vegan dish I had seen on the brunch menu was no longer on it. When we asked about it, our waitress had to ask the kitchen if they could make the dish as it was off-menu. They made it, but I wish they had kept a vegan dish on the menu to avoid the confusion.) My husband tried their breakfast burger (a burger on an English muffin with an over easy egg). He liked the dish (I only tried the meat, which I thought was perfectly cooked and seasoned), but the English muffin fell apart a bit under the weight of burger and the egg yolk. I got the chicken and waffles (chicken schnitzel and savory corn waffle with a jalapeno maple syrup). I didn't really taste any jalapeno, but I liked the dish overall - well cooked chicken, and the waffle was tasty. (It came with a Brussels sprouts slaw which I ate first, because I wasn't into the idea of mixing it with syrup.) The service was good, and the restaurant is beautiful. However, the menu wasn't the most exciting, the brunch offerings didn't seem Appalachian at all (and they bill themselves as an Appalachian restaurant), and the food was good, but nothing to write home about. (I took a look at their dinner menu, which looked more interesting/more Appalachian, and I'm definitely willing to consider trying it for dinner on a future visit to Chattanooga.) This is relatively minor, but for a restaurant that was only half full (maybe), the restaurant was very loud - definitely a restaurant I wouldn't take my 95-year-old grandfather to. All in all, it was a good meal, but not a standout.

I'm a professed non-breakfast eater, but I broke down and decided to walk through the doors of Chattanooga's newest Appalachian cuisine and foodie's dream which is inside the Edwin Hotel - Whitebird. My initial thought was how very smart Whitebird is with everything having a purpose from the food to the artistic design of the space. Details, details, details... Let's begin with the stunning atmosphere- herringbone jade tile, industrial lighting, a long marble chef table with velvet grey upholstered chairs, and towers of greenery in every nook. Even when you enter, you are greeted by an art piece titled Mystic Dove Juggler by local artist Rick Booth. It is just as if I was being enveloped in calmness, which was a perfect place to be as our meal arrives. My dining partner HAD to have an appetizer of drop biscuits with sage gravy. I must say that even though I'm a Southern girl, I've never had this dish ever. Today was the day to remedy that. When Gloria came to claim our plates, she asked how we felt about this specialty and we could only think of one word that perfectly fits- ADDICTIVE! If you come and can only get one thing, get the biscuits and gravy. You'll rave! Next, we were given our main dishes named "Tried and True" which consisted of eggs, a sample of meats, toast and breakfast potatoes. Delicious beyond measure. During the meal, our server Gloria, oozed Southern charm and spent time talking with us about the genius behind Chef Kevin Korman's creation. She even brought us extra drop biscuits with homemade jam and sesame quinoa crunch topped butter. We left having that feeling that we wrapped our trip up in the best possible way. Cannot wait until our next trip to Chattanooga and the first thing on the agenda is to make a beeline to Whitebird.

I wish we would have tried this place sooner on our trip but I'm so happy we got in. The service was amazing and the food was great!! I always forget Marriotts have great restaurants attached to their nicer hotels and they kept that trend alive. I recommend everything we got! The 3 sisters is a tad Smokey so if smoked meat isn't your thing I'd avoid it. Otherwise dive in and enjoy it all!!

What a delightful experience we had at the White bird restaurant. We went to the Hunter Museum for a morning stroll and was hoping to have brunch or lunch there, only to find out they don't have a restaurant. I used my Yelp and we walked over to the hotels restaurant. We shared a fresh fruit plate and was delighted with the quality of the fruits. My partner loved the Vegan scramble and I had the bacon and eggs with home fries. The biscuit that accompanied the eggs was amazing. We will definitely return the next time we're in town. Maybe even stay at the hotel. Great location.

We ate at Whitebird for NYE. Parking was the worse part of the journey. We tried to find a close spot, but there wasn't any. Learn from our mistake and valet. It was extremely reasonable. Valet was only $8 for restaurant customers. The server was incredible. The food was good. It made for a pleasant night. I enjoy my wife's pork better than my quail, but we always try and order two different items to try more. Our friend said the duck was exceptional.

To celebrate our anniversary, my wife and I travelled to Chattanooga for a lovely dinner. After checking Yelp and looking at menus we decided to give Whitebird a try. It was delicious!! Our server, Cassie, was wonderful from beginning to end with quality suggestions and insight into the menu. We started with the biscuits. I enjoyed them quite thoroughly. The jams were fresh and vibrant on the palette. For our meals my wife choose the salmon and I had the venison. Both dishes were exquisite to the eyes and the taste buds!

Sunday brunch! 1st time I went for Sunday brunch was shortly after it opened and they weren't doing a brunch menu. My how times have changed. It's a creative menu. We started with biscuits and gravy. Not a huge starter but perfect to share. I was with 4 other and there are 5 biscuits so one each and it was a fantastic beginning. Also got to sample the French toast bites on the kids menu. Damn lucky kids who get ahold of those tasty tidbits. I chose the smoked skillet with the brisket. Brisket expertly smoked. Hash was flavorful. I'm not a kale or corn guy but it did not hamper my enjoyment of this dish whatsoever. It's almost like the chef had me in mind when he/she came up with this one. The coffee is solid. Bloody Mary had just the right kick for me.

Loved everything about dinner and drinks at Whitebird. We ate at the bar and the bartender was amazing. We met neighbors who lived nearby and were very friendly. Highly recommend the crab cake and duck with farro. On point!

Good food, polite and decent staff. The brunch menu is amazing. The biscuits are delicious.

You can skip it.....at least for dinner. Bless their hearts, they just haven't gotten it. The biscuits are sadly dense, the potato salad was decidedly al dente, and the short ribs were more like jerky. However, the atmosphere is lovely, the service was great, and the booze came with a heavy-handed pour. Maybe it's more of a brunch place.

It is so lovely to be dining out again! This modern restaurant is in the Edwin Hotel. The patio has a lovely view of the pedestrian bridges (metal one to the museums) and the old one that goes across the river. They have spaced out the tables, so no one is too close to anyone and appropriately socially distant. The patio has a mix of high top seats, tables, and couches. We sat at a table closest to the bridges so we could people watch with a lovely view. We ate early, 5:30 pm because there were no reservations for later times, but we enjoyed having the place to ourselves for a little bit. Our server was attentive and gave good suggestions. I had the tasty French 75, and my husband enjoyed the Moscow mule. While perusing the menu, they brought us a taste of the oh so good biscuit with a sourgum butter spread. It was so good we were tempted to order the appetizer that had those in it so we could have more, but we resisted the temptation. Instead of more biscuits, we had the burrata as our appetizer. I am a Mac and Cheese girl, so when I'm not following keto, it is one of the things I go back to as it is my comfort food. This mac and cheese might be one of my favorite ever macs. First off, it is a hefty serving size, and I like it served in a dish that keeps it warm. It was so creamy, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. We devoured it and ate every last bite. My husband even wondered if I was going to lick the bowl. We ordered the trout sandwich as our main, and it was very good as well. The trout was delectable, but a little pricey for a sandwich with potato chips. Yes, the potato chips are housemade and excellent, but know this place is a little pricy.

I absolutely could come back here just to sit in the space. The Edwin Hotel is such an amazing addition to Chattanooga. Add a wonderful plate of food like this to the experience as well as friendly staff and calming atmosphere. When they say "presentation is everything" Whitebird has taken that and paired it with amazing taste. Will be sending this as a recommendation for all locals and visiting friends.

Can I give a zero? Sadly this was not a good experience. We had a reservation, and were on time. Yable was ready and we were seated promptly. First, if you do not like LOUD, don't go. This the kind of place that you have to scream at the people at your own table to be heard. It took 35 minutes to get a drink, and then and hour and 30 minutes for food to arrive. Atmosphere a zero to me. And food is a la carte, so the husbands omlet came on a plate with nothing..very lonely looking. Can't really comment on price vs value because we were willing to pay anything just to get out of there. I will say this...our server kept a chirpy attitide despite being overwhelmed (saw him busing tables at one point), and food, when it came, was tasty. Sorry no pix.
