| - Finally made it out for an early dinner at Good Food. Can't believe it has taken me this long to check it out so I can write this review. Seeing as how this is one of Crown Town's more popular spots, the time was nigh to get in and sample the fare. A small, and plain building. Not too much going on inside. Just tables, booths, high-tops, and bar seating. Such close quarters that the aromas from the kitchen fill the dining area and inhabit your clothes. Not a bad characteristic.
First off, I have to express my love for these guys having Northcoast's Scrimshaw Pilsner on draught. Not a common tale for most places in town. This alone sets the bar apart from the rest. I can recognize that tap handle from anywhere....5/5 for this.
Ordered a smattering from the menu.
Cheese plate: 4/5. Camembert, bleu, honeycomb, fig spread and two others I can't recall. Served with grilled bread. No combination that was undesirable.
Falafel: 3/5. Rather plain, and the greek yogurt on top seemed to add to the plainness. 5/5 for presentation, though.
Pork Bun: Unreal. 5/5. Perfect texture, flavor and presentation. I was absolutely thrilled.
Corn Rissotto: 4/5 Sweet, and wholesome. Nothing over the top, but just right. A rather large portion, too.
Gnocchi: 5/5. Just perfect. Amazing flavor and all of the mushrooms were wonderful. I didn't want it end. The addition of the chicken was fine, but could have gone without.
Dessert: Apple cobbler with seasonal ice cream 3/5. Just nothing groundbreaking here. Presentation was fine, flavors were fine, but just didn't seem to have that special element.
We made it in at 5:40, right after they opened. I would emulate this again. Nice having an early dinner and missing most of the crowd. Service was incredible and so fast. Very knowledgeable about the menu.
Very much looking forward to returning!
