| - So to wrap up a year long project in Charlotte, the team decided to hit up Good Food for our final team meal. I had been a few times and have enjoyed myself here and figured it was a good spot to celebrate everything the team had accomplished. We were able to score a table relatively easy on a Monday night and showed up with our group of 6. We were greeted promptly at the door with smiles and immediately brought over to a table with menus in hand. The servers were very attentive throughout the meal and I appreciate the "joking around" she was doing with the table as it certainly lightened up the mood.
We looked at the menu and we decided to order a whole array of dishes given the plates here are relatively small. That is something to note for people thinking of showing up in groups more than 4, is that sharing can be difficult so you will want to plan out how to share everything evenly. After perusing the menu, we went with the charcuterie board, the cheese board, carpaccio, falafel, pommes frites, the sautéed mushrooms, the garganelli, the gnocchi, pork carnitas, the steamed buns, the Moroccan spiced chicken sausage, fried chicken, Korean beef, and the scallops. We essentially ordered almost everything minus the seafood given the dietary restrictions at the table. The server was able to balance all the food as well as kept the drinks flowing with ease. As mentioned we ordered a few things twice because of lack of availability to share and focused on those that were extra good. The charcuterie board and cheese boards were nice dish to share with the table and was standard cuts across the board making it easy to eat. The carpaccio was DELICIOUS and had good flavor with the pimento cheese and we ended up ordering two of these for the table. The Falafel was good and the greek yogurt sauce was good but we ended with one helping as it didn't have a special kick or lacked that extra "umph". The pommes frites were good as well and standard fries with truffle oil which you obviously cant go wrong with. The sautéed mushrooms are absolutely delicious and I probably inhaled an entire plate by myself. Its just a simple clean dish with fresh herbs and sliced garlic but boy is it addictive. The garganelli was delicious with the home made Italian sausage being on point with the simplicity of the red sauce to it. We HAD to order two of this and it went fast. The Gnocchi is always a show stopper here and is really well made. It was another crowd pleaser and candidate for two. The Steamed buns are probably another top item and is better than some Asian restaurants I had been to. It's essentially a big pork bun and again a perfect candidate for ordering more than one order given the size. The pork carnitas was good but not something that warranted extra stomatch space so we moved on to the Moroccan spiced chicken sausage. It paired well with the tahini and we got a few orders of these as the meat was spiced and cooked really well. The fried chicken was good with the collard greens on the side and again another crowd pleaser. The Koren beef was a good attempt at a fusion dish but ultimately fell short and the scallops were the same deal where it was good but not worth another pass.
All in all, this is a great restaurant with great service and certainly one of the better establishments in Charlotte. Some of the dishes are just really strong dishes with others being good. Definitely worth the visit so make sure to drop by
