On a recent visit to Charlotte to visit family I visited Good Food on Monford with my mother and grandmother. We went based on my Mom's insistence since she had been on her last visit to this area and loved it. After our dinner there, I definitely agree with her!
The restaurant looks odd and small from the outside, but is adorable on the inside with a beautiful bar. Since they do not take reservations, we arrived around 6:30pm on a Friday and were seated immediately. Our waitress was happy to explain the menu to us since this is a small plates restaurant and gave us some recommendations.
The wine servings are generous - they bring you a small carafe which is really two glasses of wine in one.
The food is definitely the stand out here. They bring you fresh bread and there is roasted garlic and oil & balsamic on the table waiting for you - yum. I ordered the mixed green salad and the Korean beef. Both dishes were delicious. My mother and grandmother really enjoyed their dishes as well. I tried a bite of my mom's shrimp arepas and instantly got a case of food envy - delicious!
I justified only getting two small dishes as the reasoning behind ordering dessert. My mom and I shared the malted cheesecake which was absolutely amazing.
My only complaint would really be the noise level in here. I may have been more cognizant of the noise since we were with my grandmother, but it was hard to hear each other. As more and more people started waiting for seats, they started to crowd our table since we were seated by the door.
I would definitely go back next time I'm in the area since I love small dish restaurants, and this one definitely delivered!
