| - Good Food on Montford is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte. They have a changing menu that offers a wide array of tapas-style sharing dishes that can delight the palette of just about anyone. Service is great, the atmosphere is lovely, and the portions/value of the food is excellent.
On service - all the employees were very friendly and helpful with menu choices. There was a small hiccup on our order and they comp'ed the dish without any hesitation and without even asking. Our waters were full and someone was always around to see how we were doing.
On atmosphere - it's tight, but not too tight. The lighting is homey - not too bright, not too dim. The noise level is just right - it's bustling and you can definitely hear how busy it is inside, but you don't have to scream across the table to talk to whoever you are with. The tables are somewhat close together, but you don't necessarily notice the conversations of other parties, nor does it take over your own conversation.
On food - everything on the menu looks appetizing. It was hard to choose just a few dishes between the two of us, but the waitress was helpful in telling us how much or how little to order and was honest about it when she thought we ordered too much. Thus, the amount was just right.
Beef carpaccio - beef was sliced very thinly and was fresh, but the pimento cheese was very much overpowering and you couldn't really taste it. Probably the only complaint.
Truffle fries - they ended up forgetting this until the end of our meal and comp'ed it. The fries could have been hotter and slightly more truffle flavor... if I had to give any feedback.
Gnocchi - holy.... best gnocchi ever, and a huge portion. The flavor here was impeccable - a must order.
Steamed bun - a giant version of a steamed bun from any Japanese place. They give you a knife to cut in half. I actually preferred this one over several other pork buns I've had around the US.
Mussels - a different take. It's in a green curry base instead of the usual white wine and garlic base. I prefer the latter, but this was still flavorful and a nice take on a staple item.
Banana bread dessert - this was a little bit too filling for us and not so much a "dessert", but it was still flavorful the macadamia ice cream was exceptional.
Would definitely return! It's not good food... it's great food! (So cheesy...)
