    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 1 day ago

If this had been brought to our attention during your visit, we would have done everything we could to make it right.

    First visit. Menu isn’t huge but the food was good. I enjoyed that the noice level is low so you can enjoy the meal and have a conversation.

    Elsie's Daughter at the Chalet Hotel is amazing dining! This place is fantastic food in the coziest, most charming vibes. As a big-city foodie, I was impressed with such soul-satisfying dishes with a creative twist—everything feels like a warm hug from your eccentric, gourmet grandma. And the Chalet Hotel's quirky, retro-cool style adds so much character to the experience—it’s like stepping into a Wes Anderson movie but with better food. Trust me, this spot alone is worth the trip to Chattanooga!
    Elsie's DaughterResponded 1 day ago

We’re thrilled that the creative twist on our dishes gave you that “warm hug” feeling—it’s exactly what we aim for! And we love the Wes Anderson comparison—it’s the perfect way to describe the unique charm of The Chalet Hotel. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’re so glad you think Elsie’s Daughter is worth the trip to Chattanooga. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another memorable experience!
