True to it's name, the food was good. In fact, some dishes were simply amazing.What blew me away and left an unforgettable impression were the mussels and this is coming from someone who doesn't particularly like mussels. To start, the mussels were cooked wonderfully and it was presented in a way that was both delicate and bold. But the real star of the show was the sauce. It had such deep and complex flavors but they never once overpowered the mussels. They managed to make a spicy and refreshing sauce that was pleasing to the eyes and taste buds.The Maitake was good. It wasn't nearly as bold as the mussels, but I really appreciated the way they managed to so masterfully combine flavors.I was not nearly impressed with the Korean Beef. Not because it wasn't good, but because I felt that the sauce provided was too strong and tended to overpower all the other ingredients.The salmon was not very good. This is the one dish where I felt that the ingredients were at war with each other. Visually amazing, but lacking in execution.Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend it.

Loved Good Food on Montford in Charlotte. It was packed on a Tuesday night. Loved the space and ambience. Our server Lee was fantastic. He was very attentive and friendly. The food was unbelievable. My only negative is that the portions were a little small. We had so many amazing things. We had the Korean beef, the mussels, the octopus, Jimmy’s Buns, Brussel sprouts and fries. Everything was delicious. Will definitely go back.

The quality is fresh and the combination of spices and condiments are delicious - it all felt very satisfying and healthy. A great vibe in the restaurant and everyone looked like they were enjoying their meals. The service is also great as well. Will come back!

I’ve been here twice already and I like it a lot!! Southern comfort food for real! Love the cornbread, mac and cheese and their fried chicken is just so good! I always get it and it’s just one of the best fried chicken I’ve had. Highly recommend this place and service is always nice, quick and efficient!

We had dinner for two here mid week. Menu small and eclectic. Started with soft pretzels and fancy named French fries and both were very tasty. Main course was pasta with sausage and then their Mahi fish. We also ordered a side of Brussel sprouts. The sprouts were excellent and better than main dishes. But both main courses were very good. Plates and portions small as presentation over substance prevail. One big star taken off as main courses served at least 10 minutes apart. That in my book should NEVER happen as other person just stares at their food getting cold hoping the other dish comes out later. Otherwise service good and staff attentive. Not sure if it was by chance, but almost all tables were ladies and we were one of the few man, women couples in room. Server stated that every night is ladies night here. Pleasant dining experience.

The waitress was to die for. She was a blessing.

We had the most amazing Valentine's Day dinner at GFoM. It was our first time visiting and the food and drinks blew us away! Our server, Jackie, was friendly and fast even though it was the end of what I'm sure was a very long, busy day for her. We will definitely be back for another date night!

Excellent food and even better service! The restaurant had tapas vibes as the food we ordered all ended up being smaller shareable plates. The flavor and presentation were both great and surpassed only by the service. We were helped by half a dozen different people as food was regularly brought out, drinks refilled, orders taken, etc. The staff here seem to work exceptionally well as a team and made their number one focus providing high quality, timely service to all diners. Having a meal here is not cheap but you get more than your money's worth between the quality of the food and the service. Be sure to make a reservation as it can be difficult to get a table otherwise, however make sure to show up for that reservation or else you may be liable to pay $20 per person for a no-show.

Excellent small plates, the servings are perfect for 2 people to share. The pork belly was amazing. Toffee pudding dessert was sublime. I had the Smoke if you got'em beverage, which was perfection.

So they have been around for awhile now but I just really got a chance to check them out this past weekend & I was a little disappointed. After someone I knew had highly recommended this place I highly doubt I'll be back here unless a few things change .I would describe this establishment as a dim lit upgraded bar but serving high quality dishes . My Garganelli pasta was actually pretty darn tasty & those Parmesan fries omg I could have sat there n ate those all day to be honest . The Brussel sprouts were just ok I barely ate those.So with all that being said customer service is everything & if you're missing that it takes away from everything else. Rebecca was our main server and she was great but she also had someone helping her at the bar named Laura , and she had the absolute nastiest attitude anyone could have . You will never find me on here complaining too much at all but this definitely has to be mentioned . She seemed very bothered as If she didn't want to be there , maybe she had a bad day who knows . But it's unacceptable when you're dealing with the public . Laura made this a not so great experience to even dine here . At first I really thought I was tripping until my friend mentioned the very same thing about her attitude towards us .I would come back because the food was passing but if I have to encounter miss Laura again no thanks .
