Beautiful venue. Dining room and porch are well set up (we sat on the porch). Our server was very nice and helpful, pointed out all the favorites. Our food ended up being very disappointing. We started with the arancini. Wasn’t anything special. We got the French dip burger, extremely overcooked and bland. Also got the garden risotto, good but lacked depth. Cocktails were nothing extraordinary for price point

My friend and I decided to lunch at Goodstone. We have been to this place before, mostly enjoyed it. This time was different: the service was fair to put it kindly, and we were the only ones at 12:30 on a Thursday in July. The Conservatory no longer offers seating for either lunch or dinner, so, if you decide to venture out, ask for a balcony table, which will be overlooking the dining room. For what they claim to be - they should train the waitstaff to at least be able to open a bottle of wine. FYI, the lunch sized salad with salmon on the side for 39$. We shall not be back.

Good morning Tatyana, Thank you so much for your feedback. We have recently opened for lunch and are bringing our new servers up to service standards. We do apologize that they were not met during your experience. As far as the cost of your salad and salmon, unfortunately with rising food costs we have had to increase some of our prices as well. I do hope that you change your mind try us again so we can be given the opportunity to redeem ourselves.

I had high hopes for dinner at Goodstone, but they didn’t deliver. Our server forgot our drink order and never refilled our wine glasses from the bottle (which I expect from a restaurant of this caliber). My escargot was bland and one short of the full plate. The fondant potatoes were also flavorless and in desperate need of salt.

The food was delicious. We ordered the escargot and burrata and arugula salad for starters. The salad was so good that my husband and I are going to try to recreate it at home. I ordered the spiced lamb meatballs which came with a sizable portion of pita bread and my husband ordered the french dip burger. The meatballs were great if you aren't looking for something too heavy. My husband's burger was cooked perfectly and the potato wedges that accompany it are huge. It also comes with french onion soup for dipping. My husband also ordered a drink and the bartender was super knowledgeable and very friendly. The setting is gorgeous and the food was delicious so this would be great for a special occasion meal. Highly recommend.

Dinner for two on a Thursday. There was a wedding and reception going on but it only added to the charm of the evening. All the food we had was excellent - charcuterie, herbed chicken, filet, poached pear dessert. Cocktails were well made and the bartender came to our table to talk through options. Service was just the right level of attentive. And all things considered, the prices were reasonable. Our only regret was not allowing more time so we could explore the grounds - which are gorgeous - a little longer before it got dark. Next time :)

The atmosphere was the highlight of our visit—really well done and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the food and service were both just average. It’s a nice spot if you’re looking for a great vibe, but don’t go in expecting to be wowed by the meal or service.

Mary Ann and I had a wonderful dinner at the Bistro last evening. The food was delightful as evidenced by not leaving a morsel on our plates. Kudos to the chef and Grace who provided excellent service. The atmosphere as always was top notch.

The dining area is beautiful, the service outstanding, the ambiance was wonderful. The food was solid but not remarkable. My pecan crusted trout was a bit too done. However, we had a 1:30 reservation and brunch ended at 2:00pm. Maybe if we had come earlier...
