On a recent Sunday night, we did a family dinner with David and Laura at Good. Earlier in the day, I was getting my hair done and Ken was watching football at home so I had to tell him where to meet us for dinner. Looking up a restaurant named Good is not as easy as it seems; when you put it into yelp (on your phone at least), it comes up with restaurants that are well rated/where there’s good food. I finally found the location and sent it to Ken and we decided to do an early dinner.
Good has a Sunday dinner special that is kind of unbeatable; before 7pm, you can do a pre-fixe for under $40. The regular menu is pretty much on the pre-fixe menu and the portions are the same! David, Ken and I decided to do the special, Laura said she was going to order a salad and nibble off our plates.
They started our meal with homemade cornbread and butter:
Ken started with the farro salad:
While David and I started with the regular house salad:
The salads were plain but well dressed; Ken enjoyed the warm farro salad mixed with the large slices of cheese and the different flavors and textures from the dried fruits that were also in the salad.
For David’s main course, he ordered the steak:
Ken ordered the fish tacos:
I ordered the chicken with couscous:
And Laura ordered the large chicken salad with peanut sauce:
All of the dishes were very good and David really enjoyed his steak dish. Ken also liked his fish tacos but I would have preferred corn tortillas instead of flour.
For dessert, we went with the chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream:
The homemade bread pudding:
And the olive oil cake with the first pomegranate seeds of the season:
I ordered the olive oil cake but ended up liking the chocolate cake the most. We all enjoyed the the desserts and thought the meal was pretty good. Laura said they have a pretty good brunch as well – I think we will go back someday and try it.
