| - I've lived just down the road from Good Food for a couple years, yet had been deterred from dining there out of concern for the long wait times and inability to make reservation. Well, after dining there this week, I'm regretting that I waited so long. We arrived at 6:30pm on a Tuesday and were seated immediately. The interior is cozy and well decorated with open views of the kitchen.
Roasted garlic cloves and balsamic vinegar were in small dishes on the table, and warm fresh bread was soon delivered. The two of us shared five different tapas, which proved to be a good amount without leaving us uncomfortably full.
1. Arugula Salad: the combination of pears, goat cheese, pistachios, and balsamic maple dressing was an excellent start.
2. Mussels: You get a large portion for the price and the thai curry seasoning is unique. You'll want to ask for extra bread to soak up the indulgent sauce.
3. Lamb Cheek Pasta: Oh my gosh! The best dish of the night! I read multiple reviews that stressed the incredibleness of the pasta, and they were spot on. Rich, well seasoned, and the best bowl of pasta I've had in quite some time.
4. Crispy Quail Lettuce Wraps: This was the only dish we ordered that I was not especially impressed with. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't all that special. The quail was grilled, not crispy like I had imagined.
5. Sea Bass Special: The crispy vegetable cake and fruit chutney were my favorite components on the plate. The fish was just slightly dry. $14 for a very small plate seemed a bit steep.
The menu is full over unique and delicious sounding small plates, and I'll definitely be back. Given the size of the portions, I think it's best to share each plate between two people. Trying to split things 3 ways would be tough.
