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.

    We love this place and it is always a favorite! We knew going between Christmas and New Years might be a little different from a service standpoint but we were excited to go. We had the delicious food we have come to expect but it was unusually slow coming out of the kitchen. There were a number of families with young children ahead of us waiting awhile for their food and they were restless. There was a huge gap between our first two courses and our final course probably a similar problem in the kitchen. Anyway, it was not our usual visit but we will be back regardless.

    Eric, our waiter, took such good care of our party of 9! Great suggestions for food and took extra care with our tree nut allergy diner. The food was fantastic as always. The cauliflower salad and braised beef with risotto were the highlights!

    Staff was warm and friendly. The food was innovative and approachable at the same time. The space is unique and the open kitchen is fun to watch. I may have dimmed the lights slightly and put on a little music, but otherwise, the room was lovely. Would definitely return. Probably many times. Don't skip the house-aged ham or the Solomon cocktail.

    Everyone from the person at the welcome desk to the waitress to the manager (he stopped at the table to shave the truffles and asked how our experience was on the way out) was lovely. The food was excellent. Loved the cheese “ball” and the gnocchi. The pizza dough was perfect. Hadn’t been back in years but will put on my rotation list again!

    City House, under the direction of Tandy Wilson, has always been the best. I miss it, even though I now live near Portland where there are also many chef run restaurants, City House is always the best!

    The meal was fantastic but it was so so loud and the service was beyond slow until later into the night. We were in no hurry but it took our waitress a while to get us drinks and refills on our drinks which was annoying
