At City House in Nashville, TN, James Beard Award winning Chef Tandy Wilson makes an amazing array of dishes to pair up with the enormous array of artisan cocktails, wine and bourbon or whiskey choices available. A popular Sunday Supper gives a unique dining experience, but many come for the regular dinner menu.

The dinner choices at City House include starters like frico, pork snacks, and seasonal salads. There are handmade pizzas with traditional toppings and more Southern inspired choices like belly ham or kale. The entrees are just as seasonal and include dishes like the local trout, hand made pastas, and wood oven roasted meats. A visit to City House allows you to enjoy a wonderful experience in a historic setting.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tandy Wilson

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Tandy Wilson has eight James Beard Award nominations and one win under his belt for the innovative pizza and Italian fare he slings at City House. Wilson tops blistered pie crusts coming out of the woodfired oven with the likes of house pork belly ham or local and seasonal veggies, plus ensures there's very little food waste in dishes such as bread gnocchi with cauliflower ragu that uses up leftover pizza crust. Don't miss the fun bartender guest stars who ensure plenty of good bourbon flows through the wide open kitchen and dining room.

    Celebrated our one year wedding anniversary at City House. The overall vibe of the restaurant is so comfortable/cozy which made it a great spot to split some delicious food and a bottle of wine. The catfish was a surprising hit and the Tennessee waltz cake is a must order!

    City House in Nashville was a fantastic dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious and felt reasonably priced for the quality. Our servers were friendly, attentive, and did a great job coursing out our meal at the perfect pace. The atmosphere was comfortable—not too loud, which made it easy to enjoy our conversation. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back!

    As a group of locals who have collectively lived here for over 20+ years, this restaurant has long been one of our favorites since it opened. We’ve visited numerous times, and the food is consistently fantastic. The dishes are flavorful, fresh, and well-prepared, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a satisfying meal. The cozy ambiance and varied menu have always kept us coming back for more. However, our most recent experience was deeply disappointing and frustrating. After finishing our meal and leaving an 18% tip($282.13 after tax - left a $50 tip)—our standard for a sub par & non stand out service—we were appalled when an additional waitress who didn’t serve us, chased us out of the restaurant, questioning our service and impolitely asking why we didn’t leave a 20% tip. From the time we sat down, we didn’t feel welcome or comfortable to be in the space.This level of unprofessionalism is completely unacceptable. We understand that tipping is a personal choice, but to be confronted and embarrassed publicly in this manner was completely inappropriate. In an attempt to address the situation, I returned to the restaurant to speak with the manager on duty. Unfortunately, I don’t believe I was actually speaking with the manager, and the person I spoke to was neither helpful nor polite. Rather than addressing the issue with any sort of professionalism or understanding, the response was dismissive, adding to the frustration of the situation. It’s a real shame because we’ve always loved the food here, but the poor service and lack of respect for customers’ choices have made us seriously reconsider returning. As a long-time local, I expect a higher standard of customer service. We hope this is an isolated incident, but we can’t recommend this place until we feel confident that the service and respect for customers’ choices will be improved. It’s unfortunate, but the way we were treated last has left a lasting negative impression.

    Loved the atmosphere, food and great service. Started with Frico and olives, then the mushroom pizza and sausage pizza, all outstanding! Thanks we’ll be back!
