I haven't been to any newly opened restaurants lately so when a friend asked me if I wanted to check out The Good Son, I was glad to tag along.
When I walked into The Good Son, I immediately fell in love with the restaurant. It was quite spacious with lots of leather furnitures that reminded me of 'grandpa's library'.
Even the high chairs had back support, horray! You know how I feel about uncomfortable bar seats, ugh.
We arrived pretty early in the evening so getting a table was pretty easy. There were 3 of us so we were seated at one of the tables located in the middle of the restaurant.
Ordered: Jerk Shrimp 4/5
* Crispy potato, green mango, fresh peanut for $15.00
* 3 fat shrimp pieces were covered up in deep fried potato string pieces
* It was served hot and the shrimps were super juicy
* Green mango pieces on the bottom was nice touch
* I thought it was tad bit expensive with each shrimp being $5
* But overall it was a nice appetizer to start our meal
Ordered: Wild Mushroom 4/5
* Taleggio and pesto pizza for $17.00
* Obviously I picked this pizza to fufil my mushroom obession lately
* Pizza was decent size, good for one meal or to share with everybody for a bite
* I found the pizza to be quite oily due to pesto
* Dough was thin and overall it was very flavorful
Ordered: Steak Tartare 4/5
* Soft boiled quail egg with steak tartare served with grilled bread for $19.00
* I heard good things about their steak tartare so this was a must order
* This dish was served to us after the pizza and the ribs which I thought was kind of weird
* Steak tartare was very good quality, creamy and melt in my mouth
* I thought this was one of better steak tartare I had in awhile
Ordered: Sarsaparilla Side Ribs 5/5
* Beef ribs served with sunchokes and scallions for $19.00 (half) or $35.00 (whole)
* We ordered half to share since we wanted to try other dishes
* I wasn't aware of the fact that these were beef ribs when we ordered it
* I love beef ribs!! Yummmm
* This was so good, fall of the bone and the bbq sauce was so delicious
* Slightly charred on the outside, I couldn't get enough of the ribs
* I would def get this again if I went back
Overall I really enjoyed my meal at The Good Son. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious and you could tell they put a lot of thought into each dish. My only complaint was that the service was sooooooo slow. It took forever to flag down our server near end of our meal that to get our bill and pay for them- it took more than 30 minutes! Which I sort of understand because they just opened recently but still. Anyways, I left pretty satisfied and can't wait to go back. Next time I go, I want to order a bottle of wine and spend some time enjoying all the beautiful decoration at The Good Son.
