Everything was great! I took my mom for her birthday. I do think that the food could be better plated or served. For example my mom got the steak and it was $46 and it wasn't even served with any sides. I got the chicken and it was extremely hard to get the veggies from the bottom to eat together. I feel like for the price of some of these items they could be served with more or just made better with some thinking. Not taste better but just the idea of some of the items are bland.

We had a great evening. Loved the layout of restaurant. Very cozy. Food was excellent, a bit pricey though. The waitress was knowledgeable about dishes served, nice, a bit less of “ honey”, “ darling”, “ sweetie” would have been good. But overall a great experience. We will return.

Took the family out for brunch and selected outdoor seating as weather was great. Had great meal. Service was great. Will be back to try other items.

We really appreciated the warm and attentive service at Goodyear, which stood out and made the visit pleasant. The ingredients were clearly of high quality, but to our taste the dishes didn’t quite come together. The salad was just ok, the bucatini leaned too acidic and felt a bit unbalanced, while the grilled bavette was the best of the night and well executed. Overall, a very nice experience for service and presentation, though the flavors weren’t quite to our preference this time.
Dishes we tried: • Good Salad – local lettuces, pickled shallot, Parmigiano-Reggiano, herb verde dressing. • Bucatini – sun gold tomato, crab, uni butter, tarragon. • Grilled Bavette – au poivre, green peppercorn, chive.
For two people, with one glass of wine, sparkling water, and tip, the total came to about $120.

I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately our experience was quite disappointing. We had a 9:30 PM reservation for my birthday dinner, but were surprised to learn that the kitchen closes at 10 PM - which felt like very little time to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. The service was the main issue. Our server was quite rude and seemed annoyed with us from the moment we sat down. The atmosphere became uncomfortable when they started pressuring us for payment before we had even finished our drinks, clearly wanting us to leave. To make matters worse, when we asked to split the check (a pretty standard request), we were told it wasn't allowed, which added unnecessary stress to what was supposed to be a special celebration. I understand restaurants have closing times, but accepting reservations so close to kitchen closure while rushing guests out doesn't make for a pleasant dining experience. For a birthday dinner, this was really disappointing. The food itself was decent, but the poor service and unwelcoming attitude overshadowed everything else. I hope the management can address these service issues because the restaurant has potential.

This restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and yummy food! They could’ve used another bartender plus a server or two to make the experience seamless. Otherwise the food and drinks were fantastic!
The staff and restaurant were absolutely fantastic. I loved the setting- very casual and relaxing. Unfortunately, we weren’t impressed with the food. I had the Bucatini. The flavor wasn’t bad. I maybe had 1/8oz of crab meat and the pasta was a bit chewy. My husband had the shrimp and grits. It was the least tasty we have ever had - and we always get it if on the menu. The portion sizes are small. So we had to purchase the chicken dish to supplement. Will also note the bread for the table is $8. Even places like Eddie V - down to Firebirds isn’t charging that.

I usually enjoy my time here, but I do wish the food was a little less salty sometimes.
I’m sorry I didn’t take a photo before we demolished our plates. It was too hot too sexy too delicious to savor the moment. It WAS the rice balls and the Mac and cheese. Perfect warm night cap to a long summers day. Shout out to Grace at the Bar for the delicious Paloma’s (AND THEY HAVE FERNET!!). And shout out to our server Giovanna, (we didn’t know what to order) she asked what the vibe was and we trusted her. Perfect order!! Thanks girls! It was our first time and we will be back. How gorgeous is the patio on a breezy evening. 🥹🥹💖

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!!

The Goodyear House has established itself as a NoDa staple. The atmosphere, service and and culture is existentially right for the neighborhood. If a beer + cocktail + vibe is what you seek, it is as good as any. But buyer beware, the food is progressively terrible and overpriced. Each time we go it manages to underwhelm yet be astronomically more expensive. Undercooked/overcooked meat, dishes served cold, flavorless, bread stale and obviously not baked fresh. Many better dining establishments in NoDa.
