   A great restaurant! The out door dining is special. We enjoyed our dinner and the service was good. We came for my daughter’s. They gave her a complimentary dessert with a birthday candle. Thank you for the special evening.

   Went here for my wife’s birthday. Nathan served us, and he was outstanding. Food was pretty good, but to be really honest the main reason I would go back is for Nathan and his service. My wife and I both got the Goopy burgers with shaken fry bags. Food overall was pretty good, but I would say we enjoyed the vibe and atmosphere of the place more. Will be back.

   The food was good but so overpriced for the small portions. We wanted the corn and the El Pastor chicken because it was on their website but when we got there they told us it was taken off the menu. Then the beer and the wine we ordered were also not in stock. It took forever to get the drinks we did end up ordering. Then they tried to bring us our salad after we ate our main course. The service and the operations need a lot of work but the food is good, just too small for the price tag.

   The Goodyear House never disappoints. A very tasty and eclectic menu. Nice wine selection and excellent cocktails. Service was friendly and attentive. A nice upscale casual place.

   The food was wonderful, our server was very kind however after the food, it took forever to get the cake we brought, the checks, etc. we were there for almost 3 and a half hours. The cake we brought we decorated beautifully for a birthday we were there to celebrate. The did not provide correct cake service as they pre cut the cake & brought us out slices, we never even got to see the cake. The floral that was on the cake was brought out on a plate. This is incorrect cake service. As you’d do a wine cork service, it’s to be done at the table in front of the guests. It completely defeated the purpose of the celebration and the beautifully decorated cake that was spent 6 hours making. On top of that, the check was brought out with $100 taken off the entire bill on one check all together. Although that was a great fix to the mistake the restaurant made, once the checks were split up, the $100 off was gone. Our server was not aware that when you take a % off the total bill and then proceed to split up the bill, that % off goes away. We then had to wait longer for the bills to be split & the % taken off correctly. It took a very long time, an unnecessary long time. Cherry on top, the manager never made an appearance at the table. He should have come over and introduced himself and spoke to the entire table about the mistakes that were made. Instead he flagged over one of us to speak to us in private. As a previous manager myself, the correct way to handle this would have been to come to the table himself, speak to the entire table about what happened, apologize & make it right, right then. This was an unfortunate experience as the vibe and food were amazing. We may return but we will not return to celebrate an event.

   The food was wonderful, but we felt enormous pressure to get in and out FAST for table turnover. Drinks arrived, 2 sips later salad arrived. Halfway through the salad the appetizer arrived. Entree arrived before salad was finished, and halfway through the entree, the server came back, asked if we wanted anything else, then before we could answer (like, maybe another drink??) she said "how about a dessert menu?". In and out in 45 minutes?? Not what I would expect from a Top 50 restaurant.

   I really wanted to love this place. The building itself is adorable however that’s where the experience ended for me. Our server seemed like she didn’t want to be there. Where she was courteous, the menu wasn’t explained, no beverage options were offered once I explained I don’t drink alcohol/sodas, the plates weren’t cleared until we stacked them and we weren’t checked on like her other tables. We became acutely aware of the lack of service because the server who had the table next to us was great. The food was average, the one stand out was the warm cheese. The menu is a la cart which is fine but none of the offerings seemed to pair well to be able to make a cohesive meal. All in all if you want a place to have some wine and graze this place may work for you. Unfortunately I don’t feel like we will be returning.

    Southern food with some Asian inspired seasoning. It was delicious but definitely heavy.
