Best Cozy Restaurants in Goodlettsville

10/10 experience here for my fiancés birthday/engagement celebration! The team made us feel so special, and the food was AMAZING. Definitely recommend getting the extra a la carte items to add to your experience, and doing a bottle of Sake as well! We’re already planning to go back. Thank you to their team for the incredible hospitality!!

Frankie’s is so great. The food is fantastic. The cocktails are delicious. The pizza next door is the best in Nashville. And drum roll please….the prunes and mascarpone dessert is my favorite dessert of all time! Mic drop!

We enjoyed every single bite and sip! We ordered the beef tartare, broccolini, and sweet potatoes for the table, and then had the ribeye and the pork chop as entrees. Every bite was spectacular!! No notes at all on the food. Our only mild disappointment was that we ordered a round of drinks for the kitchen staff (which is an option on the menu called ‘Rock Stars’) when we ordered our own drinks at the start of our meal, and we never saw any drinks delivered to them. It’s an open kitchen in plain view of the dining area, and we were bummed that we never saw them take a shot or pass out beers to sip on as they cook or anything like that. We were hoping to raise a glass with them in cheers, or at least see some drinks set out for them, but I’m not sure they ever got the round we paid for. It’s a small thing, but I was expecting a bit more fanfare for that to be an option on the menu. Still, this was a five-star anniversary meal, and I cannot say enough about the food. We’ll be back for another special occasion soon!!

So glad that we finally tried this place. After a lot of "meh" meals in Nashville over the past 5 or so years (soooo many steak houses doing the same thing), it was refreshing to see a place getting it right. For us, this is exactly what dining should be: personable and fun with well executed food and good pricing. I wouldn't call it cheap, but you get what you pay for, which is all anyone should expect. They aren't trying to be gimmicky or too hip. They are just doing what they do well. This is in our rotation now, along with Lyra, Yolan, Carne Mare and Bella Napoli...all places that do what they do extremely well without trying to be everything to everyone.

What an amazing experience! This was our first time at the Authentique and we will definitely be back! The food was delicious, genuine French cuisine. They had the best crepes I’ve had in years! The wine selection was great and the service was friendly. I highly recommend this place, they even had live jazz music! A tout a l’heure, Authentique!
