Had the opportunity to DJ a wedding at the Goodyear house and Work with the amazing team. I really enjoyed getting to know Anna, the event manager. She was extremely helpful and super professional. Can’t wait to come back for more events!!

Had a delightful dinner. The food was amazing and the staff was friendly. Would definitely dine here again.

Our server Giovanna was absolutely phenomenal! She gave the best recommendations and great descriptions. Cute date night spot, cocktails and wine selection were perfection and the food was even better. We had marinated shrimp, the good salad, summer squash and bavette steak. Brownie for dessert was also gooey and delicious. Just a side note, The marinated shrimp were good and the presentation was beautiful but the fried saltines were the highlight of the dish, probably would not get again.

The Goodyear House is a good chef-like homemade food restaurant. The feeling of dining in your own home is present and creates a great atmosphere. We had two downsides of our recent experience. First, the prices for relatively simple dishes is $25+ and we found the value not quite there. Especially with most plates not containing a side. Secondarily, we sat relatively close to the kitchen door and the temperature was so warm that we had to use our baby's fan to keep our table cool. It gave us the urge to get out of the building once done eating. I would definitely recommend improving the temperature control. Overall food and beverage is great.

Went there for the queens feast, price to the portion and quality of the food was not great. Used to love the place but was not happy with how dinner went.

Service was good. Atmosphere looks like a boring white lady's dining room. Not much to look at. Service was friendly and attentive. The rice balls, marinated shrimp, bavette, and swordfish were all just meh. Not terrible, but nothing I would crave again. Portion sizes and menu creativity left a lot to be desired in terms of price. I really don't feel like any of it was a good value. The smores brownie was the only item that felt worth it and even though it wasn't particularly adventurous or exciting ingredients-wise, it was a great brownie. Wish I could day the rest of the meal wowed us. No idea how this place made it to any top restaurant lists. Maybe Goodyear House should rename itself to Mediumyear House (or just open a dessert restaurant).

Our server was so amazing! And we brought our dog and sat outside, and everyone was so friendly.

The food and cocktails were fantastic. Very high quality. But the service...the service was amateurish. We ordered a starter and entrees. The entrees came out first. We mentioned to the individual that we had ordered a starter and she was like, omg. Let me check on that. The waiter came by and had some lame excuse about it. And dropped off a dessert menu. Hello, we have only taken one bite of food and where is our starter. Can you say “please get done quickly so I can get another turn on this table.” This restaurant has the bones to be incredible but you need to work on the experience of the customer please.

Fun, delicious summer cocktail menu, albeit expensive ($16-17). Everyone working was very young & very friendly & attentive. We did the Queen's Feast menu which is a good value compared to their expensive regular menu. Marinated shrimp & rice balls both awesome, highly recommend. Also, bread pudding very tasty, tho the ratio was off, needed more pudding compared to the whipped cream (and I'm a whipped cream gal from Wis!). Our entrees were just mediocre: pasta, swordfish. I thought both very salty tho my husband thought fine. Swordfish was more med rare, which we prefer medium but not a deal-breaker. Both entrees just under-whelming. The braised or steamed green beans (forget what menu said) served with the fish could have easily been french-style beans from a can, looked & tasted the same. I'd prefer less cooked, something more fresh with my fish especially on a sweltering, hot July eve! Would have liked to have seen a light/citrusy type dessert option, as we were both quite full. Did order the blueberry sorbet (ok, nothing great) just to cleanse our palate & settle our tum-tums and of course HAD to try the banana pudding. But maybe a napoleon or light & fluffy cheesecake, lemon chiffon cake, key lime pie, etc. Ambience nothing to speak of, plain wooden tables & chairs with wood floors & walls, average light fixtures; just feel they could do more with this space. Also, the doors from the outside walkway into the bar are just weird, no one knows if you're supposed to use them or use the 1 main door...and are they automatic, so you wait a minute, no they are not. Glad we tried during the Queen's Feast Week vs a special anniversary or birthday, would have been more disappointed! The outside bar/patio in back looks really nice tho, would definitely try that in cooler weather!

The noise eas excessive, wait staff was pokey at best,. Nobody would ever take a empty dish from out table leaving it cluttered and hard for them to put a new dish on. We tried several dishes that had no flavor like the shrimp and blueberry tiramisu
The service was painfully slow - it took an hour to get our first round of drinks, thankfully the food wasn't as long of a wait. The noise was really bad, the full group agreed it was hard to converse with the person next to you because the noise containment is so poor. Multiple people in the group are fans of this place, so I wouldn't say never again, I would just say probably not the best spot for a larger group.

Great date night spot! Completed with great drinks, amazing vibes and good service! Food is great. Bit pricey but not too bad

We used to love Goodyear House but recently they paired down their menu quite a bit and there aren't many good options anymore. They used to have plenty of plantbased dishes, which several people in our party prefer, but they only had two last night — The smoked cashew mac and cheese (so good!) and a salad that only included lettuce, onion, and dressing. They didn't even have a vegetable that was vegan. I'm hoping that Goodyear will bring back some of the good food options they previously had, especially plantbased ones, and will add a plantbased protein option for salads. Otherwise we'll probably only get drinks here moving forward — The ambience is so great!

This was our first time visiting Good Year House, and we were very disappointed. The rice balls and Crudo were the only dishes we enjoyed. The entrées were not good. The swordfish was not cooked properly, and the ribs were covered with cumin and too salty. The pasta dish was okay but too small for the price. One and done. Will not be back. Parking across the street was pricey as well.

I've been many times and like many other dishes however, the portions seemed to continue to decrease the prices continue to rise and it really just not that great on a combined basis. I had a pasta dish that was way over salted. Flank steak option was well over $40. They gave the meat of fancy name on the menu, but it's still flank steak. Disappointing. I think there are a lot of other better choices in Charlotte. Might've been our last time.
