    My family ate here on a road trip a week ago. One of our children uses a power wheelchair, which…read morewas not a problem because the restaurant has a ramp to get in the building and the staff and Rivers himself were extremely accommodating. We each got a different sandwich and they were each delicious. I got the Harvest Turkey - the fig jam is delightful! My oldest got the cubano - excellent! My daughter got the chicken salad - it was good but it is a chunky style, so if you prefer it with smaller chunks it may not be for you. My youngest got grilled cheese - you can't go wrong with that! (It's not technically on the menu but the waitress offered it when he said he didn't know what to get.) Finally, my husband got the catfish po-boy and said, "It's the best piece of blackened fish I've ever had!" (I agree!) The remoulade and cajun sauces were good, too. The varied salt and pepper sets added whimsy to the homey atmosphere, too!

    This little spot just continues to amaze me. I don't know how they are able to put out the quality…read moreof food that they do, it is so obscenely small, it has a tiny kitchen, but yet. Those that are in the know, come back frequently. The staff is spectacular, the owner is always working the floor, engaging with his customers and they have found a head chef, who is getting recognition locally, for the quality of the food he puts out each and every day they are open. You drill down into the ingredients, where products are sourced, OLR buys local, buys premium, buys fresh, and it all shows in the product they put out onto the table. We were back today for Father's Day, and of course we arrived early as no reservations are accepted. Not a problem, happy to do it, we wanted to be part of that first seating when OMR opened at 11:00a. I would have been happy with ANY ITEM on the days menu, and I went with the Strip Steak and eggs, but got to sample the other selections at the table as well. Two gotcha moments today above and beyond the meal itself, the fresh fig with peach and bacon served when we first sat down.....and for the first time, I had coffee while dining here, it was absolutely delicious. Folks, I recognize it is a turn-off for some when you can't make a reservation, but my recommendation is to look beyond that, you have to enjoy a meal here at OMR, you'll be glad you did!

Fortunately, after 6pm it's both free and easy to find nearby. As a solo diner I was initially relegated to the bar but, I don't drink so I asked for a quieter table and within 5 minutes they accommodated me with a seat by the windows upstairs. The inside is gorgeous and they have a nice patio as well. Beautiful and low-key but elegant decor. Service was excellent and extremely proficient. Never had to ask twice for something and easily able to answer menu questions and make suggestions. I actually hadn't planned on ordering the Fattoush but, when I said I loved tomatoes it was recommended and I am so glad it was. It was a standout. In the end I ordered 3 things bc I was dining solo: -Hummus with crudité (veggies instead of bread) -Fattoush - seasonal ingredients. -Red Snapper - about 3oz so small portion but perfectly cooked and flavored. Loved this. I very much wanted the knafeh dessert but I knew the portion was big and didn't want to be miserable and waste it. They have a nice non-alcoholic menu with some interesting drinks as well. Overall - perfect final meal in town and I can't wait to come back with my husband and try even more!

Calliope is upscale business casual, which we were definitely not wearing, but we were treated kindly and we decided to dine at the bar which was an excellent choice .bartender server was excellent and really knew the menu and preparation! She guided us to the chicken schwarma hummus with fresh pita, whole Mediterranean Sea bass, spiced baby potatoes and tiramisu. Excellent guidance. We enjoyed every tasty bite! We paired with Armenian and Greek wine. Had Lebanese whiskey for afterwards. What a delightful and satisfying experience. We appreciate quality and craftsmanship of their food and wine. We will tell our friends who visit about this gem of Chattanooga! We will return.

Every one of the sides looks so good and fresh that I wanted to get each one of them just to try it! The fish was cooked perfectly and was nice and tender. The added little muffin I didn't expect was a nice touch and delicious. The collard greens were SO GOOD. I'd get them again. So flavorful and cooked well. The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming. They validate parking if you park in the garage nearby!

The inside was really nice and the kind of place you would go on a date. The pot roast was delicious as was the creme brûlée. My partner also loved the veggie sides! Quoting that it was the best grits and butternut squash they had ever had!

We ordered the sample platter, which lets you choose five different dishes. We tried the shrimp gumbo, étouffée, and red beans and rice--and somehow, the chef surprised us by bringing out six dishes instead of five! Talk about going above and beyond! Several members of our family normally aren't fans of New Orleans-style food, so we honestly weren't sure what everyone would think. Well... every single person loved it! The food was so good that the bowls were literally licked clean. Everything was packed with flavor, perfectly prepared, and clearly made with a lot of love. Then came the surprise dessert: fried blueberry bread pudding bites with a bourbon caramel glaze. WOW! The plate didn't stand a chance--we cleaned that one too! And whatever you do, DO NOT leave without trying the beignets! They were absolutely amazing and the perfect way to finish the meal. What really made the experience special, though, was the hospitality. The chef and staff made our family feel so welcome, and the generosity and care they showed us made this more than just a great meal--it was an experience we won't forget. If you are visiting Chattanooga, Tennessee, put Blue Orleans at the top of your list. You will not regret it! If we lived in Chattanooga, our family would absolutely be here once a week! Amazing food. Amazing people. Amazing experience. 10/10!

Definitely a classic chophouse ambiance and decor. Our server, Eric, took absolutely the best care of us and was ever present without hovering (which is a true talent) but the food? Unreal. Perfect French onion soup, Chilean Sea Bass, center-cut Filet Mignon, an amazing bread plate and strawberry moscato was a delicious meal.

The crust added just the right amount of texture without overpowering the quality of the steak. The white truffle mac and cheese was rich and indulgent, while the asparagus provided a fresh, lighter balance to the meal. I also ordered the smoked old fashioned, which was smooth, well-crafted, and paired beautifully with the steak. Bridgeman's focus on prime cuts and classic steakhouse offerings really shows in the execution. Service was polished and attentive from start to finish. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and checked in consistently without being intrusive. Drinks arrived quickly, courses were paced well, and the entire experience felt professional and seamless. Located inside the historic Read House, Bridgeman's Chophouse delivers the upscale steakhouse atmosphere you hope for on a night out. The dining room feels elegant without being stuffy, with warm lighting, classic decor, and a refined energy that makes it equally suited for date nights, celebrations, or business dinners. The setting elevates the experience and makes the meal feel like an occasion.
