Civil Provisions And - Signal Mountain

We tried Civil Provisions tonight and it was an alright experience. We made reservations ahead of time to sit inside but when we got there we were told that there wasn’t any seating inside and that we could sit outside with the heaters. Since it’s in the 40s right now, we asked how long the wait would be for a table inside like we were hoping for and they said it would likely be more than 25 minutes so we went ahead and sat outside. We were bummed because based off the photos we’ve seen, the atmosphere inside looks lovely.It was super loud and difficult to hear our server throughout the evening. We ordered a mocktail. The flavor was really harsh and unfortunately made us not want to finish our drinks $7 a piece, reasonable for a mocktail). We ordered the steak and scallops for dinner. While the scallops and steak were good, the fries that came with our steak were cold but flavorful). We ended the night with the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake and we really enjoyed that! As we walked to our car, some older guests were making out in the parking lot and were blocking our car and wouldn’t move, which made for a very odd ending to the evening. We ended up spending $100+ so bummed we didn’t love our experience. Overall, while the food was fine we likely won’t be going out of our way to go back.

Tastefully designed inside, delicious dishes and wine all around (get the calamari appetizer! and friendly, thorough service. We’ll be back!

Excellent Food and service. only issue was one of the heaters in the outdoor area was not working properly made it a little uncomfortable for my wife.

So very much want to love this place! Hoping it will improve with feedback. We’ve been about 3x now. And family members more than that, all with disappointment. Overall, the food just isn’t good. Especially the pizza. Just avoid that completely. Even the hamburger is lackluster. The combos are also not good- the scallops for example- and the salmon with polenta tasted like garlic had spilled all over it. We’ve tried numerous things and nothing stands out.The service comes with an attitude especially at the host desk. Every time.The other night we tried to come in and I counted over 17 empty tables. Basically the whole restaurant was available but they wouldn’t seat us bc they said they had reservations coming in. By 6:30. We left, but I had to take a call and was in the lot and could see that by 6:30 they were still plenty of availability. Had hardly filled up.Also, you can only order to go food online or in person. They can’t take phone orders so for family members at Alexian for example it’s just a no go. Also, I personally tried to call while on my commute home and couldn’t access online then- so a no go.Would be so nice if things can change for the better which I believe it can. Would be a wonderful spot if it can change a few things.

The staff is amazing they 're extremely attentive and very nice especially so close to the holidays with so many people mwah gold stars for them they are CHAMPS. that being said this is a place with that would have provisions in its namei got the caesar salad (i 'm a connoisseur) the dressing tasted like it didn 't have anchovies and they put bacon on it (my bad i could 've asked for it without bacon) THE CHICKEN was bone dry (my mom 's bf said his was too) and it said it had za 'atar and it might 've but i tasted nothing little sad cause i love za 'atar i cleaned my plate though so not all too bad.my grandma got a shrimp and grits special that made my south carolinian blood cry (they left the tails on and it was 33 dollars for 5 dollars worth of shrimp)people seem to like this place a lot so what 's the harm
