Goten Japanese Restaurant

We stayed at Aloft which Goten is inside of and we waited until our last night here to go here, which was good because I fear if we had eaten here the first night we may have not gone to eaten anywhere else in Nashville! This place is AMAZING! I will agree with the other reviewers that it doesn't have the brightest atmosphere but what it lacks there is more than made up for in their food and drinks, we had a few of the specialty cocktails which were all delicious as well as one of the sho-chu which my wife enjoyed very much! We did Hibachi and shared the teriyaki steak with an extra set of sides which I would recommend because the main course is big! They had a larger selection of Japanese beers than I'd seen at some other places as well as some japanese Whiskey if my eyes saw correctly behind the bar. The "host" that you meet at the front counter will seat you, take your orders, and make any drinks you might want so I can see how some reviewers didn't get the fastest service, but he is super nice and accommodating! I also witnessed a diner ask for no veggies in his main dish, and while the hibachi was making our rice ask for his without it and they accommodated that very quickly, my recommendation if you can't eat, or don't like veggies be very specific about what you would like veggies left out of! I would recommend this to anyone thinking of eating somewhere Japanese inspired or looking for a meal that is easily shareable!
