Always great food. Today we sat outside, which was nice because it is a bit close quarters and noisy inside sometimes. The black currant ribs were awesome.
Loved this place. Perfect night to sit outside catching lake breeze. Light as a Feather...one of the best cocktails ever. We shared a half rotisserie chicken and roasted vegetables. Done to perfection. Can't wait to go back and try something else. Both food and service were excellent.
Enjoyed late night dining, loved the anise beet dish and calamari
I love eating here. Anytime I'm in MKE I try to stop in. The food is always great and the wine selection and cocktails are great. The staff has always been on top of gluten choices and never blinks an eye at marking up a menu for me. Highly recommended for dinner.
We went on a Monday night for our anniversary dinner. I was superuser at how lovely and busy Goodkind was for a Monday. Perfect place for romantic and cozy atmosphere. We both had cocktails as starters, then a bottle of Celebration wine which was fantastic (and half of on Mondays) with our dinner of scallops and chicken. Both meals were hearty and flavorful - the scallop dish especially felt like a large full meal unlike most scallop fingers I find. Finished our night with Dragons Milk beer from their dessert menu which suggested numerous beers and cocktails. Overall it was great. You pay for the ambiance and warm feel of the restaurant so food is a hair pricey but worth it. Had a great night!
I brought family from out of town here to impress them. Food was good. Service was not. Friday night. We had a reservation and they asked that we grab a drink at the bar while we wait. Bartender was nice and efficient. One of our group was feeling under the weather and ordered a hot tea, the bartender didn't grimace and stopped what he was doing during a busy night to make the hot tea. Thank you bartender. Table service on the other hand was poor. Server was upset we came from the bar with drinks and ensured that we closed out with the bar. We ordered some apps and our entrees. Apps were good. Our plates were cleared once we finished. About 15+ minutes goes by and the server comes back over. It's obvious she was about to ask how our entrees were tasting when she realizes we have no entrees. She rushes over to the kitchen only to realize she never rang in our main course. She rushes back past us to a terminal in the back and then again rushes past us to the kitchen to let them know of her error and to rush our food. Not once does she stop back by and explain the error even though it is quite obvious what had transpired. When entrees were eventually dropped, there wasn't even a small apology for the additional wait. It was like if the problem was ignored, it didn't exist at all. Again, food was good but the overall experience was poor.
AWFULLY RUDE! Could not believe the poor treatment! Have been here in the past and had a decent experience, kind of expensive for what it is but tasty and innovative, but after last night’s visit I don’t think there will be a return trip. We just moved to the neighborhood and were excited to have after-dinner drinks on the patio with our puppy at 9pm. Approached the hostess for a 2 top outside and she says, “Well, I can seat you but the patio closes in an hour ...” I said that’s fine, she went to check with someone else who returned with her a few minutes later and told me the same thing again, “the patio has to close at 10pm.” Again I confirmed I understood. Plenty of open tables outside, our server greeted us with “The patio closes in an hour FYI,” instead of “welcome, have you been here before? Here’s what we’re featuring.” We told her again we had been warned a few times already when the patio closes and asked for drink suggestions. When she returned with our drinks she asked what we would like to eat, after browsing the menu we said we thought we would just stick with a few cocktails. She reprimanded us! “OK well actually the patio is for food. Next time you need to have drinks at the bar first and then come outside for food.” My boyfriend said to our server, wow so you don’t want us to spend more than an hour on the patio which would barely be enough time for a meal but we can’t just stick to a few rounds of $12 cocktails either. Seems like this is a pretty elite place and we’re not really welcome. It’s not like the place was packed and others were waiting to be seated outside. We quickly finished our cocktails (nothing to write home about), tipped 20%, and left immediately.
After all the hype, we were disappointed. Pork shoulder was dry and over cooked. Half chicken was cooked very well, but lacked flavor. Roasted vegetables were excellent, but the parmesan polenta was ok. Service was friendly and prompt. Best part was their long list of bourbons to choose from.
Fantastic staff, fascinating food, creative cocktail menu. Rotisserie veggies are hearty and not to be missed.
Fantastic!
Fun place in residential neighborhood. Loud, wish they had better noise control / absorption. Food ok, nothing spectascular.
Awesome food, excellent service, Great people!!! Loved it!!!
Best food. Best bartenders. Best vibes.
Fast - never had a delay
The crispy Brussels sprouts salad was great, fresh and light. The cod and potato croquettes were a unique experience, a little fishy mixed with creamy potato which was good. The scallops were good but a little salty. But the almond and cherry tart for dessert was divine!
Very enjoyable brunch. Some excellent options and a menu that changes frequently. The pizza eggs was a cool idea that worked.
Fantastic locally sourced food and delicious cocktails. The atmosphere is fabulous and sometimes you run into celebrities who also love to frequent this amazing establishment. Knowledgeable servers and the food was so fresh and well made. Highly highly recommended.
Best calamari I've ever had! Awesome drink selection as well.
Great food, cozy and great customer service.
Adorable bar and restaurant. Food is usually quite good with great service. Tough to get in without a reservation on weekends.
Extremely good Caesar salad
Excellent food. Delicious daiquiri. Can’t wait to see what’s on the menu next time! Oh, and how could I forget the Parmesan risotto? It was definitely yummy.
We found this through a best brunch article and it did not disappoint. Bloody Mary's were average but the food was excellent. Unique, flavorful and great service.
Favorite dining experience in Milwaukee!
$35 per meal to good home hungry? I had a cold bowl of under cooked mediocre spaghetti. My friend had some pork roast … and that’s it. They are trying to be fancy so there is no soup or salad, no sides. The service was okay… their deserts were different pretty good. No reason to go back or recommend them.
Cool building, cozy space, great service, excellent food and drinks! Our party of 8 was well accommodated- thank you Goodkind- we will be back!
One of my top 3 restaurants in the SE WI area! Great atmosphere, excellent staff, delicious fresh seafood options as well as brined rotisserie meats, unique drinks, and awesome local vibe!!
Amazing brunch spot
The service, food, cocktails, and aesthetics are on point. I love this place. I tell everyone about it... and to get the Manhattan.
Awesome food and drinks. Very well-balanced flavors.
Good beer selection on top of the excellent food!!
Go for the wallpaper + ambience alone and stay for the food (scallops!) and cocktails.
Food was tasty but beer was average.
Burger night is phenomenal. I love the beer list, as well. The food is typically spot on. My only issue is with the drink menu. Do you really need cocktails with half the ingredients no mere mortal has ever even heard of? I've tried several, and most of them are not very good. Sorry!
Really cool spot! Rustic chic with friendly staff and delicious cocktails. Their award-winning Manhattan was my favorite. Every drink I had was excellent.
Service and drinks were great. Food was.... Meh. Everything on my plate was good on its own, but all together it was just kinda weird. Some things were hot, some we're cold. 120$ later , meh
This place is excellent. If you want a 5 star dining experience in a more casual environment, this is the place for you. You pay for what you get, so the food is not cheap, but it is fantastic. They also have an amazing craft beer selection, which is not to be understated. Eat at this place; you will not regret it.
Louder atmosphere. Decent wine selection. Most of the food delicious, but the pricepoint was a little high for what was being served. Provides a niche food experience, so if you're willing to pay more for less quantity, and decent quality, might be the place for you.
Wonderful service and top notch food
Heavenly from start to finish. Amazing food, service & dang is this place adorable. Nowhere else around these parts can you find a place open for dinner till 1 am. All around magical experience.
Fantastic food, coctails, and service. They never disappoint and and we are always happy here.
Ambiance is great, wine list was mediocre
Food was great. Wait staff a little slow
Very small portions. We ordered the lamb. We were assured it was a large portion that could be split between my husband and me. We were served two medallions of lamb steaks with nothing else for sides. We left very disappointed and went for a second dinner elsewhere.
Nice atmosphere. Did tasted good, but my brother, girlfriend, and myself had upset stomachs as if we were did poisoned. My girlfriend went to the ER, and was diagnosed with epilopic appendigitis.
Great seasonal menu with mixed drinks which take classic recipes and improve on them. Exceeded expectations all around. Large plates are indeed large and very filling!
Bay View's best place to get some food. I haven't come across anything on the menu that I don't like. Also, the bar staff can make you a crafty cocktail that will send your taste buds to another level.
So cute inside. Got the breakfast poutine and it was phenomenal. Can't wait to go back.
Great drinks.
Great food, service and atmosphere!
Amazing food on rotation, and a long list of cocktails! Warm environment with great staff. Cozy and thoughtful atmosphere!
Brunch was delicious! Nice variety of farm to table choices. Service was attentive and friendly in a cozy cheerful setting.
Good food in a hipster restaurant atmosphere. We came here for brunch on a Packers game Sunday and the place was pretty slow, but you can make reservations by calling ahead. This is definitely an adult restaurant, and not somewhere I'd recommend to families with very small children.
Best food
Amazing service and food... and wine... and cocktails.... so good
Lovely food, lovely spirits, lovely beer and lovely people. Try everything, share it, order more, repeat. I usually make it out for the Tuesday burger of the week, which is always fantastic. Top 3 favorite spot in Milwaukee, for sure.
This restaurant is the best in not only Milwaukee but the entire state. Completely unbiased review over here.
Homemade ginger beer was delicious.
Crazy good food. But I mean crazy. Stuff you've never heard of, but not foreign. The waitress even gave us some free appetizers to acquaint us with the restaurant. I enjoyed the spicy crab pasta. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our first dinner there.
Award winning Manhattan for a reason plus other great cocktails. Phenomenal mushroom starter, along with amazing mussel and scallop entrees with an ever changing menu. Look forward to going back.
Excellent chicken, cocktails and service
This is one of my favorite brunch places. There's never a crazy long wait and the staff are super nice. My earl of Bonneville cocktail was delicious! Their menu is always interesting and the breakfast risotto with bacon and caramelized onions was especially good.
We will go again!
Stopped here on a walking wine tour, our first visit. The staff treated us nicely. The wine went well with the food pairings, making the visit that much more enjoyable. Great decor, good neighborhood. We'll be back.
Good food. Check out their brunch!!
Poor bar service...Just stopped into Goodkind to try their Tues. specially burger. Received drink menu from male bartender with long beard. Another customer was waiting to order another beer and asked respectfully for another. The bartender said ,"Yeh, hang on." He went back to the table with the waitresses that were discussing the menu. He then went to serve the other customer, then he came to us with the dinner menu. I asked about the specially burger. He said, " It's the first thing on the large plate", and walked away again. We decided to leave the restaurant.
Great brunch and quality service.
Perfect place to sit and have quality cocktails or dinner. Word of caution, their dinner menu is not vegetarian friendly. The ambiance is great as well.
Awesome food, excellent service. Drinks are well crafted and beer and wine lists are well curated.
Great music, wonderful people, outsrandibg food!
As I was descending into Milwaukee I started searching for “best places to eat” and came across this little gem. It’s a quick drive from the airport which was great since I was starving. The decor was welcoming and the food was fantastic . I started off with some lightly breaded calamari and then enjoyed the zesty Spicy Crab Pasta- the bucatini noodles were so fresh!
We love to sit at the bar and visit with whoever is nearby. A warm and friendly environment with lovely delicious food, imaginative cocktails, and gorgeous wine & beer selections.
Excellent food and good service. One of the soups was cool, they replaced it quickly with one that was hot.
Absolutely amazing food! Try the seaweed chips,a salty and sweet taste of heaven! :)
Like this place for food and atmosphere. Will be back again.
Delicious food! I have a food allergy and they are amazing at accommodating as long as I call the chef beforehand and communicate that. They have an amazing staff and dope cocktails too. This is easily my favorite restaurant in the city.
Fabulous & flavorful food! Great atmosphere & friendly staff! We ordered the champagne mushrooms, brusselsprout salad, seaweed chips & the calamari. All were delicious as well as the eclectic coctails & the variety of beer on tap! I highly recommend Goodkind!
Cant say enough good things about this place!! Cocktails are excellent, wine list is interesting, food is excellent, service is always prompt, professional and friendly.
Came here with some friends. They were having a burger special. The burger was delicious and they had paired it with a specific beer. The combo was amazing!!! The prices are a bit high, but the food was so good that it seems worth it.
Must have been an off night for the kitchen. Had the rotisserie chicken which was good. Came with a great sauce which was about a teaspoon on the plate. Asked for more to go with the half chicken and another teaspoon came out.
Good food and prices. They have a rotating menu daily so you cant predict what you'll see but it is going to be good. Interesting drink lists and thoughtful use of ingredients.
I love Goodkind! The food is very good, it's an eclectic and interesting menu. The drinks are also fantastic, they have some great bartenders there. The place is small so on the weekend it may be difficult to get spot but the staff is very friendly and always willing to help out if they can. One of Bayview's top restaurants!
Such a beautiful, romantic place. Justin was amazing!
Food was w Wonderful! Always is. Bartender knows how to make a really good drink. Absolutely excellent service. One of my favorite places in town.
Great spot. Food and service were on point. Great late night dining option.
We had a first visit up here with the son and his friend, and had dinner in this cozy and historic neighborhood of Bay View. Apparently this community is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, and from our experience, Goodkind looks exemplary of the quaint and high quality restaurants in the area.
Great food with a cool atmosphere!
I've been here a couple of times now and I couldn't recommend it more. The staff are incredibly friendly and the food is an incredible experience. Every bite is mind blowing. I'd give it more stars if I could.
Very quaint with farm to table meals where the menu changes frequently. Try the mushroom even if you dont like them. A place that you would not expect in this quiet neighborhood, but on busy yuppy street.
Foodie Favorite. The large plate of mussels & octopus in a light tomato sauce was superior. Wait staff was very attentive & knowledgeable.
Service good but food disappointing ☹️
Good food. Peicey.
Goodkind never disappoints! The bartenders and waitstaff are attentive and genuinely care about your experience. The cocktails are delightfully unique, as well as the beers on tap/in bottles. And the food...so good! There are so many options in Milwaukee these days for really great dining! Yet, i find myself coming back to Goodkind time and time again! Pro-tip: just eat at the bar.
Amazing food with an excellent drink selection!
Wonderful food, service, snd atmosphere! This is my new favorite place to spend an evening! !!
Love eating here. It's a good thing I don't live too close or I'd be here every night. One of the best in town for their food menu and their incredible bar menu, served in one of my favorite rooms in the whole world. The William Morris wallpaper says it all, this place is about beautiful work done humbly and with exceptional quality.
First, the food is phenomenal. Second, the service was excellent.. beer menu and ambiance exceptional and cozy. Will definitely be going back as long as that menu keeps flipping over. Keep up the exceptional work!
Love this place! Food is amazing! Our favorite bartender is Maggie!
Very nice atmosphere, the food wasn't what I expected. Such as Chicken liver Patee. I went because it stated Soul Food, it wasn't the soul food I was thinking about lol but overall it was very nice
The Fromage Fort was amazing!
Everybody (single) bathrooms, vegetarian options, vast and delightful beer list, mostly regional.
Small, chic, and worth many more visits! Elevated fare and cocktails in the most homey atmosphere. This place is a Gem!!!!
Definitely check out burger night on Tuesdays, late night spot in Bay View
2 for 2. Every time we have had great drinks, service, and foodie food. Go!
I don't know. I've only been here twice, and the first time the food was incredible - about 9 months ago. Tonight I got the artichoke pancake with olives, arugula, tomatoes, zucchini and some kind of sauce. The sauce was too sour and too sweet, the vegetables were sour and tasted off, and the artichoke pancake was both bland and pungent. It somehow needed more salt but less salt. The 6 slivers of olives were the only redeeming aspect of the dish, but with the bitterness of the arugula and that weird pink sauce with a flavor I couldn't quite pinpoint, the whole dish was just....too many competing flavors, or too much sour? I don't know. It was inedible. I got the roasted beets as a side, and seemed fine at first, but they were also sour. It's like everything was roasted in expired lemon juice. My partner and friends loved their roasted pork, polenta and chicken and vegetables, but sadly the vegan dish was irredeemable.
I like this place. It’s pretty good.
Brunch or dinner - Goodkind is a delight! As vegetarians, my husband and I don't consider this a restaurant with endless options for us. However, the options they do have are wonderful and never fail to impress. We especially love coming here with family and friends that do enjoy meat entrees, as we recognize they have a lot to offer in that department. And the brunch has a couple of solid options - the aebelskiver pancakes as a starter and the whipped tofu as a main - that we keep coming back for. One of the other reasons we love our dining experiences is the ambiance. The space has a comfortable and cozy feel while feeling unique and intriguing. The wallpaper on the back wall of the space is gorgeous and there are numerous other charming details - the hanging lamps, the bar itself, the live plants all around. And of course, the cocktail menu has to be mentioned. Thy have inventive drink options that seem to change from time to time. I've never been disappointed. Nor have I seen the same kind of craft in many other places. Some tips - make reservations by phone in advance and save a few minutes to find parking on the street.
Long drive great place
Very good food. It's simply far too loud. Like having 5 star food at a frat party.
Good food and great staff! Would get 5 stars but my chicken sandwich didnt come with a side and the Bloody Mary was garnished with just a single celery stalk.
Was visiting for november project summit. Went to dinner there with my hosts my last night. Everything sounded delightful, it was hard to make a decision. I was genuinely filled with joy with every bite. The elote pancake was incredible! And it was huge. Could have eaten just that. But I ate so much more. Will definitely need to make a trip back for this place alone.
Absolutely amazing food! Vegan options readily available and I highly suggest the bloomin' rose cocktail
Best Manhattan ever! Food is amazing. Love this place!!
Looking for a farm to table restaurant in Milwaukee? This gem is worth the trip outside the downtown area. The fried nori is the best! Enjoyed our dinner, all dishes coming out of the kitchen looked amazing!
Great dinner. Sabra did a great job! My vegan friend was very impressed too.
The champagne mushrooms!! OMG!! Everything was amazing..food, cocktails, service!
Went in with a large group for Sunday brunch. Interesting menu items different than most brunch menus. Selected Pizza eggs which was quite tasty but might have been better if it hadn't been cold. French toast sticks appeared to be the most popular. Prices were a bit high for what was received. Just an ok place but I wouldn't rush back.
The dining room was smaller, but the food was amazing. Everything came very quickly, tasted fresh, and the prices were decent.
Great place for brunching with awesome cocktails.
Really enjoyed the mussels and spicy seafood pasta dish. Good craft beer selection as well. Love what you have done with the place.
Its always a treat to eat here.
Great food and cocktails. The menu feels very well thought out and fresh. I ended up going with the waiters reccomendation on everything and my meal was exceptional. Definitely worth giving a try. Don't skip dessert.
Love this place one of my favorites.
My favorite neighborhood restaurant to frequent. Open late when everything else is closed. Amazing food! Thanks Goodkind for so many great times and yummy food!
The food is excellent. I love how they use local sources and change their menu accordingly. The atmosphere is really great especially for a date or special occasion. The restaurant is small and it gets busy, so I recommend reservations. Awesome food and drinks. I would highly recommend!
Great. Excellent cocktails, excellent food, excellent dessert, excellent service. Five friends went on a Thursday night, we all had different things and everyone loved their choices.
I love this place. Is my favorite for date nights and celebrations. The food is amazing good and the staff are very friendly and awesome. Really good place and decoration.
My favorite restaurant on the south side. Smaller menu but great choices.
Amazing food and drinks, great for dinner or brunch. A hidden gem.
Wonderful food service and drinks !!! We will be back soon!
A bit disappointing experience. Excellent beer selection, fun menu. My husband's pork belly was delicious, my tri tip tough and incredibly fatty: couldn't eat most of it side dish delicious, though cold. Service indifferent.
Atmosphere, cocktail menu, and service are all 10/10. Ingredients are curated carefully and with whimsy, and the plants and candles make me want to breathe more deeply and taste more intensely. Can't get enough.
Went on a cold Wednesday evening for dinner. They have a small dining area, but the atmosphere is quite nice. All the food was unique and quite excellent. The servers were very attentive and willing/ able to answer any queations our group had about the menu. Will definitely recommend and return.
This place has always provided me with great food and great service. I have been here a few times now and I have yet to have anything but a great experience.
Atmosphere, a well curated menu and a drinks list that keeps it Milwaukee. Great date spot
This us one of the best meals I've had in my entire life. I am proud Goodkind is in my home town.
We went for Sunday brunch...not a fan. I didn't feel the food was good, although reading it off the menu it's sounds awesome. Our waiter was great and really talked up the selections. But sorry to say not a fan.
A fantastic restaurant
Amazing scallops cooked perfectly. Loved it.
I've only ever GREAT things about this restaurant. My drink was great (My Darling Amadeus). The steak was delicious. The broth for the mussels wasn't robust enough. Others with me said the halibut seemed a bit overcooked and the chicken was juicy, but dry at the same time. For the price and the hype, I was underwhelmed.
Excellent all around from cocktails to dessert. Friendly people and great service. Will be back.
Great place for a date night with your special someone. Drinks are on point
I've been here for lunch and dinner and it is just really a cool spot. Great food and vibes.
I've always had exceptional service and delicious meals at Goodkind. This time was no exception. The pork was tender and juicy, the mussels were succulent and the flank steak was tasty. The spices are always perfect.
Just flat out one of the best, if not THE best restaurant we've eaten in in Milwaukee in the last couple of years. There was nothing on the menu we didn't want to order. The complexity and layers of flavor are wonderful, the service relaxed and intelligent, the ambiance "neighborhoody". Craft cocktails are unusual and surprising and the greens in coconut milk concoction the night we were there was unexpectedly breathtaking. We can't wait to go back.
Pricey but delicious!
Fabulous food, drink ambience! Had the walleye....superb!
Drinksnwere amazing. Next time I will try the food
Love the food, love the staff, love the wine list, cocktails were ok. Will definitely return.
Great food and tap list
Great food and atmosphere.
This place is outstanding. My partner and I always get great service, all of the servers a very nice, knowledgeable and caring for their customers. Definitely a food destination to try for a late night dining after a long day.
My favorite Milwaukee restaurant. Amazing food, drinks, and service. Must try.
A nice restaurant, with great service, but didn't quite live up to my lofty expectations. Overall fantastic spot for a date night. Great environment and good quality ingredients. However, not 5 stars as I thought the pork ribs were a little fatty for my tastes. Also very interesting cocktails, not sure if having rum and bourbon in the same drink works very well. Still, I recommend trying it out
Great drinks and food. Nice cozy atmosphere and friendly attentive bartenders and staff.
Delicious and great service
Stumbled across Goodkind and couldn’t have been more excited about the dining experience. Great services and even better food and drinks. Don’t pass it up!
An American restaurant with a wide variety of drinks. I appreciate the fact that they get some quality ingredients from local vendors. The service is good. She was present when we needed her. But it's quite pricy for the food you get. Most upscale places I've been which the price of main dishes are above 20$ offer some unique taste and combination of flavors. But this one falls short on that. The half chicken I ordered was just a roasted chicken. No vegetables or marination to give the meat some flavor.
