I think lots of people complain but not enough give praise when it's warranted. Went to Wine Down today to celebrate my brother's birthday with my sister in law and mom. The food was delicious as always. The service was amazing thank you Taylor and Vanessa. From the minute we arrived for our reservation (3:00) we actually arrived about 5 minutes before they opened. We were told that they didn't open until 3 but I asked if we could be seated as my mom is having chemo and couldn't stand long especially out in the heat. The hostess seated us immediately. Our waitress was very attentive and when I asked for tepid water because my mom can't drink anything cold because of the chemo, she went and got it without an issue. Excellent service, food and atmosphere. read more

came here for lunch with my mom. it was an absolutely amazing meal!! our waiter was super friendly and kept our waters filled. our food took no time at all to arrive and everything was just delicious. i got the chicken & brie sandwich with a side of fruit and also ordered two oysters as well. my mother ordered the garden skillet with cheesy grits and the fried green tomatoes. the chicken & brie caught my eye due to the strawberry jam and apples and i am obsessed. it was so good! the fried green tomatoes were perfect, especially with the pico de gallo and the pimento cheese. the tomato slices were thick and definitely tasted fresh. the oysters tasted fresh, not old, and i loved the hot sauce that came with them. my coffee was definitely delicious as well, i added sugar free hazelnut syrup to it. my mom's garden skillet was really good too, i tried a bite. i absolutely love this place and look forward to coming back to try something new. read more

Came for the monte Cristo. But as of a month ago they no longer serve it My over easy eggs were a little over cooked Breakfast potatoes in my burrito were undercooked and a bit hard but overall a solid place to have some breakfast. My lady had the eggs Benedict and it was great. Portions are generous Drinks are delicious Music playlist was pleasant read more

They have some really good goat cheese Balls that came with a berry compote sauce, I believe it changes now and then. The cauliflower is a 10/10. The deviled eggs without blue cheese are worth getting again. The nachos are a bit lackluster even with their salsas. The carnitas tacos are the same unfortunately. They also serve a really good Benedict with a choice of meat, the brisket is my choice which always comes with a generous amount given and very tender. The house potatoes are a must with it as well. The service is a hit and miss and can change the entire mood of the meal unless Constance is around. She is always smiles and makes the experience a great one. Thank you for always making sure we have a great experience Constance ! read more

Been a few years since we stopped in, stopped for the breakfast today and was super impressed. Definitely some of the best breakfast and service in the local area. Skillets were to die for. Pancakes top notch. read more

Wine Down Bistro & Lounge - PIG skillet - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ooltewah, Tennessee

I've been here many times over the past 5 years. I have always enjoyed the ambience of the rustic farmhouse, five with the exposed piping and farm house doors. This restaurant has definitely evolved with rotating menu, but has now become a brush spot. The food has very good options for vegans, but has definitely changed and is missing the wow factor. I will still go back and give it a try. The service is always been excellent and I've never had an issue with their service. It is definitely doable spot for picky, eaters, and midway if you live between Cleveland and Chattanooga. read more

Wine Down Bistro in Cambridge Square is outstanding. I sat at table 26 order 860135 and had an incredible experience from start to finish. I ordered the Bistro Snack, Japanese Cauliflower, Wings, Deviled Eggs, Butcher Cut, and the Chef's Catch. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. What really made the evening special was the service. Our waitress was absolutely amazing, attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. Pair that with the cozy atmosphere and fantastic wine selection and it is clear why this place is a favorite in Ooltewah. I cannot wait to come back. read more

Food is good service is awful. If you are looking for great service do not go here. Not sure how they stay in business

Not sure if the air wasn't working or if it's typically warm in the place, but it was borderline unbearable to sit inside. Our waitress had zero personality and honestly felt like we were an inconvenience. I worked in the food service, so I get having off/bad days but the fact that I'm pointing it out means it was BAD. Food was good, hence the 3 stars, but overpriced. I got the breakfast skillet at $16+ with an overdone egg and way too many peppers. read more

Came after a recommendation from locals. Dined by myself outside. I was overlooked multiple times by staff and the service was slow. The wait staff wasn't very friendly. There was a large table of very loud women who made the ambiance less than relaxing. Especially since they had to play videos VERY loud on their phones. I ordered the brisket sandwich but the chef was too lazy to shred it and instead put a large slab (about an inch) thick on the bread. It was difficult to eat and given it wasn't a great cut of meat it really distracted from what could have been a good a sandwich. I wont make this a spot to recommend. read more

Really great spot, excellent menu options for everyone. Chicken & waffles were good. Service was excellent. A bit pricey but to be expected anywhere you go these days. I'll be back! read more

Wine Down Bistro & Lounge - Chicken & Waffle, side of Scrambled Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ooltewah, Tennessee

Let's start with the atmosphere. This restaurant was simply immaculate. Was created immediately upon entering, and was seated in a cozy but out in the open spot. The server was really helpful and a delight, although I think it was either her first day or she was new. She had help which was fine, because she had it covered. Now let talk about the delectability; if I can create words, that was the food. First off, those BISCUITS were so soft and airy, yet had a subtle crispy crunch on the outside. I could have eaten a bakers dozen I'm sure. The French Toast was so comforting and so were the grits. It was cold outside and those two really hit a spot. The bacon was cooked to perfection, and the omelet coupled with the grits, were, ummm... yeah. Might I say heavenly. Simply amazing. If and when I'm in the area again, I would absolutely love to try other things on the menu. Although it would be hard not to order BISCUITS. read more

I've eaten here several times. Tuesdays they have an oyster special. I've always received great service, and it's always been clean. It can be a little loud when it's full, but it's people having a good time. Their lobster roll is worth every cent, and yes it's expensive, but getting a great lobster roll in Tennessee is going to cost you. It's a 10 out of 10! You only go around once in this ole world, so make your life choices count. Eat the expensive dish, allow yourself to enjoy this life. It gives you great memories to share when you're older. read more

A great place to gather and enjoy a meal. Different food for every taste in your group. Drinks and food of every description. It's certainly a yum yum location. read more

Go if you must. There is nothing special about it! Too crowded and too expensive for the quality of food. I would pass!

Came here for the first time and got their Garden Skillet. It was really, really good. Vegetables were all fresh and flavor was awesome. Our server Leann was over the top and gave us the best service we could have asked for. Friendly and involved management, really impressed and will definitely be back! read more

Wine Down Bistro & Lounge - Garden Skillet w/ sweet tea. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ooltewah, Tennessee

The atmosphere and wait staff are just ok. Wait staff weren't familiar with entree ingredients. The food is expensive and weird. I had a Krystal burger this week and this was far worse. I had the spaghetti squash carbonara. The squash was mushy and sitting in a mass of scrambled eggs. The whole thing was sour with pieces of pre cooked bacon on top. The whole thing was inedible. My husband had the wagu burger which he described as sweet- beef shouldn't be sweet. Will definitely not be returning. read more

Wine Down Bistro & Lounge - Japanese Fried Cauliflower was AMAZING & it's a HUGE order so WOOHOO for air fry leftovers - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ooltewah, Tennessee

Wine Down was one of our go-to's for a nicer family dinner, so I was excited to take my mom, who is visiting from out of town. Everything started out fine. The 20-something server kept calling my almost 80-year-old mom "baby," but we overlooked that because she was otherwise friendly and attentive. Then the dessert came and she ghosted us. For over 20 minutes I watched as she chatted with guys in the kitchen and just sort of hung out while we sat there, ignored. She dropped off one more item at a nearby table, clearly avoiding us. My mom waved her down so she would bring our check but she sent somebody else over...then we waited for another 10 to 15 minutes, again ignored. I approached the bar area, where the waitress was now standing wearing her coat, and said that we had been waiting awhile to pay. A manager came over to wrap up the check, and when I told her that I felt that we were being ignored, and that the server never told us that she was ending her shift, she said, "We don't do that here, we team serve." She reluctantly adjusted our check for a mysterious extra charge, which she blamed us for. She got increasingly snarky and weird, laughing at us. The way we were treated made me feel so gross. Until they do a complete overhaul of their treatment of customers, I can't in good conscience recommend Wine Down to anybody. Good food, shockingly AWFUL, awful service. read more

My husband and I went for happy hour last night and had the worst experience. We have always loved and supported Wine Down but after yesterday that changed. The service was horrible, we had to wave someone down to order our food and apps. Then no one served us the rest of the time. We had to go to the bar to get our receipt to check out. There were plenty of servers playing behind the bar and the restaurant was not busy at all. So disappointed as we love to support our local businesses. They need to get it together and focus on their customers! read more

Wine Down Bistro & Lounge - chicken & waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ooltewah, Tennessee

My husband and I wanted to get out with our 4 week old baby for our first wedding anniversary. It was a gorgeous day and we wanted to sit somewhere outside for happy hour. The patio was shaded and perfect. We ordered off the happy hour menu; oysters, bistro wings, sliders, the bistro board and truffle fries. Everything was DELISH! My husband recommends getting the hot sauce with the oysters-he is still talking about them! Our waiter Ben was so helpful and attentive, even chose my cheese and meat for the bistro board for me when I couldn't decide. We will become regulars at this spot! 10/10 recommend! read more

Service is always a hit or miss here. Took more than 10 minutes to just get water from I assume, the manager, who had a sour look on her face and did not bother to greet us. Seems they had plenty of servers today but only saw ours twice - once to order and the other to bring us our check. We were never asked if we needed drink refills or if our food was OK. We had to get up and ask her for coffee and hot sauce. Maybe supper service is better but I won't be back to find out. There are too many restaurants to eat at in Chatt to go back to a bad one. read more

OK started coming here on Mondays with a friend for Happy Hour. They have a pretty good collection of draft beer as well as bottled beer. Parking is easy sinc it is in Cambridge Square and it has a cozy small atmosphere. Great deal on burgers and sliders. Salads are good also. Fries are great and food so far has been top notch. Besides the great food from the kitchen, the service is always friendly and top notch. When I try food other than burgers and fries, will let you know... . right now it is a 5+!!! read more

Friendly staff. Nice food and drink choices. A nice place to hang out for a meal and drinks. Or just enjoy a few drinks.

First time to Wine Down and will definitely be back. This place is ! And definitely come for their happy hour. They have incredible appetizer prices and drink specials. Highly recommend this place! Our server Brooklyn was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations on appetizer, food and drink options. Her recommendations were spot on. We had the Japanese cauliflower which was over the top. It was super crispy on the outside and the combination of flavors from the sauces and the fried onions on top were so tasty. We also ordered the Brisket nachos which were crazy good also. Loaded with brisket and Cojita cheese along with other toppings on top of homemade corn tortilla chips made it over the top. And not that we were hungry but we also ordered cheese and charcuterie board which came with grilled bread, pickled red onions, apple butter, whole grain mustard, strawberry jam and picked red peppers. Based on Brooklyn's recommendation, we chose the sage cheddar which was as incredible. We also picked the pimento cheese, the bentos ham and the waygu braciola. All were phenomenal. We will absolutely be back and ask for Brooklyn as our server. She is the best and the food was amazing. read more

Wine Down Bistro & Lounge - Cauliflower and Brussels - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ooltewah, Tennessee

This place is awesome!! It's in the cutest shopping plaza with restaurants and boutiques. They have a great happy hour, $10 off bottles of wine and on Tuesdays, bottles are half priced. They have a rotating catch of the day, chefs board, dips and wines on tap. On top of that, they have a full food menu with over 30 items. It's rare to find a wine bar that has such a large food variety. For being a first time guest, we received a free half order of fried goat cheese balls with the pumpkin butter and they were amazing. We ordered the tzatziki dip, Japanese cauliflower and the truffle fries and we loved all of them. The tzatziki dip was on special so I highly recommend trying it before they rotate it out! Our waitress was very friendly and made great recommendations. She recommended the Fiction Red Blend wine to us and even let us taste it first. We ended up ordering a bottle of it because it was so good. Would definitely go back to get out more wines and foods. read more

This was date night for Hubby and I. We have been wanting to eat here for awhile. Glad we did. Our waitress was phenomenal! She made great suggestions and had a great attitude. Hubby had the Wagyu burger with truffle fries and garlic aioli to dip and I got the veg Philly with fried Brussel sprouts. I also got a side of the aioli to put on my sandwich. Also for being new they gave us two of their deviled egg appetizer's free! It was also $1 raw oyster night and hubby and I tried one each but it just wasn't for us. Nothing against them though. read more
