Goodkind

We had seven or eight plates most of the food was okay. The chicken dish was good though. Drinks were also good. Services was good too.

If a restaurant wanted to make sure someone never wants to come back, they’d treat their guests like we were treated at Goodkind! We were a group of eight well dressed 40+ professionals and we all eat out a lot in and around Milwaukee - and none of us was rude, drunk or disrespectful. We had a table booked for eight people and when we arrived 5 minutes prior to our reservation time, we were instantly greeted by a snooty Millennial hostess with the words “we are happy you are here but please get out of the way”. We were told to order a drink and then wait outside. It was pretty chilli (Wisconsin in April) and many of us didn’t have a warm coat! When a few of us tried to squeeze into a corner by the bar, we were told off again like a bunch of naughty children. When we finally got our table, the service improved until we were told that we were too loud and that other diners had complained. There was only one other table in our area of the restaurant and when we apologized to the other table in case they felt bothered by us, they said they never complained. The entire restaurant was super loud so that we could barely hear each other. Why our table was singled out and told off for being loud, is again very weird. It was almost like they were mad at us for eating there - weird given that we spent close to $1000 at our table. The food was ok but not good enough to justify the rudeness of the staff. It’s too bad because the place has a lot of good things going for it. The one shout out is to the nice cocktail waitress who made wonderful cocktails and very pleasant and polite!!

Cozy and fun ambiance. Wonderfully friendly and attentive service. Unique and well executed dishes. Small but solid wine menu. Great cocktail peogram. Great place overall!

Update: the last couple times I have visited I paid $30 for a cut of meat that was absolutely garbage. Flavor was on point but the meat itself was rough. All hail good kind! Every visit has been mind-blowing

Excellent food. Drinks were good. Attentive service. Loved the neighborhood vibe. Menu changes all the time so plenty of opportunity to try new things. No problem finding on-street parking nearby. Will definitely be back.

Everyone at this bar looks cool. Also seafood is super fresh. Amazing late night dinner place.

We ate here on 3/9. The food, cocktails and the service were amazing. Knocking a star off for the hostess who told us we needed to be out of there by a certain time. The kitchen got backed up so courses were coming out a little slow. This normally doesn’t bother me but since the hostess told us when we had to be gone, it ruined my ability to enjoy the entree and dessert as I was worried about getting out of there on time. It shouldn’t be something the hostess puts onto the patrons. It was our first time there and I am not sure about returning.
