Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Goodlettsville

We had a party of 4, sat outside in the heated patio. Very comfortable and cozy. 2 of us got the shrimp and grits. Savory sauce, really good. My husband got the scallops. He enjoyed them, good flavor but there were only 3 scallops. Would go back.

Skulls is a regular stop of our’s when we are in Nashville. We love their dedication to showcasing jazz. Start the evening listening to Jay Vern, then hang out for whoever follows! Great food, service, and a cool atmosphere make it a must for foodies and jazz lovers!

Mockingbird is always a charming experience. Our most recent trip was on Valentines Day. The table had a live flame tea light and rose petals on it. My only complaint was that our server was taking care of a large table of older women that kept him busy and not as attentive to us as I would’ve liked. Appetizer didn’t come before the food but I didn’t dock the rating for that for reasons already stated. Food was excellent- we got Pasta La Vista, Tatchos, and Bulgogi Hanger Steak and they were all fantastic. The ambience is perfect - dimly lit and well decorated. We will be back.

We have tried to get back into City House many times, but we could never get a reservation. So I made a reservation two months in advance and got in! It was EVERY BIT as good as we remembered. The service and the food are absolutely outstanding. We ordered bottle of wine, so it was an expensive night. But it wouldn't have to be too costly if you weren't drinking. We ordered both the cabbage salad and the mozzarella salad. I don't know how they can be that good. The cabbage salad is unbelievably flavorful, and we actually asked for the recipe for the dressing - and they gave it to us! My husband and I each got pizza's and they were outstanding. I got the mushroom and fennel pizza. It was fantastic. We ended the night splitting the panna cotta, which was also excellent. Our server was friendly and very attentive and helpful, without being overbearing. He really made it a delightful evening. We decided we're just going to start making reservations a couple months in advance so we can get back to City House several times a year. It's just too good not to go back soon!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Etch!! The service was top notch, the food was delicious and presented exquisitely! The server knew the food and drink menu so well! They were very accommodating to my wife's gluten free needs. The red wine from Greece was amazing!! We enjoyed the cauliflower appetizer, gluten free bread rolls, Etch salad. And for the main course we had the Port and Filet, with a side of brussels sprouts. The banana flavored ice cream was delicious, being very light on the banana flavor. I hope to return soon.
