Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining 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.

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!

It was Valentine's Day - nevertheless we were seated immediately but never with the sense we were being rushed to make way for the crowd. The food was excellent and inventive - the valet had our car in no time and it made a day that is often perfunctory fell special.

Butchertown Hall was amazing while they hosted my group of 15 for my bachelorette party! Food and service were top notch! Thank you all so much for taking such good care of my group!
