This place was everything I thought it would be. The food, service, and overall experience were all fantastic! So good that I went twice in one week and I don’t live here. Got the chance to experience burger night on Tuesday and have the leg of lamb late night. We also had two pasta dishes and dessert. Michelle and Ryan were great bartenders/ servers. In truth, everyone was- I’m calling them out because they were particularly warm.

One of our favorite restaurants, and have never had a bad experience. Everyone is always friendly, the food is delicious, and we wish we could go more.

Wow. That’s pretty much all I need to say. Built into an old house, this restaurant has a quaint, fun vibe...and the food is absolutely incredible. My wife and I started with the spiced chickpeas and the Caesar salad. For drinks, we ordered the Winter // Green and the When the Walls Fell. Both amazing. We followed that with the Lavender and Anchovy-Rubbed Pinn Oaks Leg of Lamb and the Spicy Crab Pasta. It's a lot of food, but I probably could have kept eating because it was that good. The staff was really nice...fantastic bartenders. We sat at the bar, and even the other guests were friendly (not that the restaurant has control over that). That said, I’d argue they’ve created an atmosphere where people actually enjoy talking to each other. Great food. Great service. It’s no surprise they keep popping up as James Beard Award semifinalists. Just give them the award already. Oh, and in case the owner reads this: “Shaka, his eyes uncovered!” They’ll understand. 😉

I did it! Going on New Year’s Day to Goodkind for their yearly brunch with friends. Personally, that was overdue but better late than never. My friends and I ordered four dishes to share and we were all very happy with our choices. I was not able to place a reservation but my friends and I decided to test our luck and waited a little over half an hour to sit at the bar. So, I would recommend to make a reservation if you’re looking to sit at a table. The restaurant is cozy, warm, and friendly. So Midwestern! Servers were welcoming, busy yet productive. We left the restaurant feeling satisfied and relaxed. Great way to start our year!

Wonderful restaurant! From the moment you arrive 15 minutes early, only to discover that you're 45 minutes early, the staff here will take great care of you and make you feel a little less embarrassed. The cocktails are varied and delicious. The wine is limited but covers all the bases well enough. The food though, is the star of the show. Everything was spectacular. I heard that they were known for their lamb, so had that, and it was in the top 3 lamb dishes I've ever had. Tried all our group's dishes and they were all equally superb. Prices are fair for quality food. The vibe is very relaxed. Parking is on the street but fairly easy. Highly recommend this place!
