Nice spot for dinner
We love to eat at Odette. Our favorite things are the cocktails, the burger, and their amazing desserts. Less than 10 minutes from the house.
About 8 - 10 minutes from the house.
Our go to spot for any special occasion. It's not just for special occasions though. My favorite is the burger. Everything here is made fresh and is local. They change the menu 2 times a year with a few signature dishes and drinks staying on the menu full time. They have unique offerings and we love trying out the new drinks. I even have a drink that I got to name there.

About 8 - 10 minutes from the house. Our favorites are the chicken ricatoni, ravioli with tomato cream sauce, chicken parmigiana, and of course the bread and herbs. They have great tiramisu also.

About 2 - 3 minutes from the house. You get to dine in top of the Renaissance tower and overlook all of the Shoals area from the top. Pretty pricy but a unique experience. I would probably make a reservation for this one.

This one is a big of a drive, around 40 - 45 minutes. You may or may not have cell service when you get there. They are only open Sunday 11 am - 3 pm and Thursday - Saturday 11 am to 10 pm. It's a very unique experience to dine in a cave. They have great grilled chicken tenders and onion rings. Normally they have live music on weekends. Worth a trip if you have the time.

Great lunch spot and truly a local place. Not much room for seating and all seating is outside. Definitely travels well for taking it home or to a local park.

3810 Hatch BoulevardAbout 8 - 10 minutes from the house. My favorite local Mexican restaurant. In the summer they have an outdoor patio that we love to sit out on and enjoy dinner and drinks. Their authentic tacos with the grilled onions are amazing! My favorite are the chicken ones. Also, their Nachos Al Carbon are great and definitely worth a try. If you like them for dinner you should try their breakfast restaurant Cafe de Frida and get a dirty horchata.
