Good Food comes in with big expectations from those who know it as a beloved food cart on the Capitol square. I was hopeful but realistic when we showed up on a cold and rainy evening for dinner--on their opening day.
The place was hoping with people of all ages.
The restaurant has taken the old Heritage Cafe space and made it their own, with unisex bathrooms, warm colors, and a menu that is bold and fun.
I got the Tofu Pad Thai. "Noodles" are actually a made from zucchini and other vegetables. They hold up well under the sauce, which had a nice amount of peanuts in it. The tofu itself was quite salty, so you will want to chop it up and mix it in with the noodles to tamp that down.
For a rotten rainy night, Good Food definitely felt warm and happy. Wait times were a bit long, but I would say that is because they had a lot more customers than you would expect on a cold and wet Monday and their first day of business.
We are looking forward to trying a weekend brunch. As it stands, this is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
