    We had a great experience at Goosefoot last night. 1 of the best Michelin* restaurants in the city. Better than our 2 or 3* experiences at Alinea, Oriole, Smyth. Goosefoot is on par with Ever, our fav establishment. Nina is a very welcoming & chatty host. We had a good conversation with her. Only -ve aspect is (the speed of) Service. We had to wait until ~8:20pm for our 1st course, we were hungry. As we had to pick up our dog from the sitter's place, we packed the last 2 Dessert courses.

    Goosefoot is our favorite restaurant for special occasions. This time we were celebrating my milestone birthday. The food was delicious, we loved the presentation, the ambiance and the professional service. The last dessert had a beautiful happy birthday written on the plate and they gave me a signed menu. We purchased the wines from their store next door, the wines are reasonable priced and they paired very well with the food. Thank you for an unforgettable night!

    The food was exceptional and made you think with every bite, presentation was very thought out. The service was great, not a high number of staff so you can become really personable with the team. The dining room was small and made for a perfect romantic dinner.

    It was a perfect evening. The food was impeccable in flavor, timing, and presentation. The staff was warm and welcoming. The restaurant was intimate, romantic, and playful. My only wish is that some of the dishes were a bit hotter when they were served. It’s expensive but I would definitely come back.

    My wife and I had a very positive experience at Goosefoot. The food was interesting and complex - really impressive given the size of the team. Also, the BYOB concept was a refreshing change to the typical wine pairings you see at the restaurant price point. While the core of each dish was delicious and the plating was beautiful, often times the entire dish didn’t seem to work together. Edible garnishes didn’t add anything to the meal, and different components of most dishes were at different temperatures when they arrived at the table. I’m very impressed by this restaurant, but it’s clear after eating there that this is an ambitious effort from a very small team. I applaud them for what they’ve accomplished, but would head elsewhere for a more refined and exciting experience.

    We went for Valentines Day. I wasn’t sure what to expect but if I was, our visit would have exceeded my expectations. We were greeted and seated right away. The theme was “ Woodstock 69” which added a cool ambiance with familiar songs playing in the background. Everything was delicious. The design of the food was as impressive as the taste. Thanks for making our holiday special.

    Wonderful small place that is owned and run by a husband/wife Team. I love that the owners were present and serving us. You can tell that they take pride in their restaurant. The food was fantastic! Wine options are available but there are no cocktails, which threw us for a loop. Overall, I’d absolutely recommend Goosefoot to anyone enjoys fine dining.

    It was a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary and Nina especially is friendly and personable. You can tell she and Chris really care about the diner's experience! I loved the Woodstock theme and it truly felt like every course told its own beautiful story. I will say one extremely unfortunate mishap was that the first course had a very tasty corn soup that literally burnt our tongues, it was piping hot to the point that my husband instinctually spit it back out into the cup. When the first course came out, we actually both had to use the restroom so we even let it sit for ~3mins before eating it and it was still burning hot so I'm concerned that it would've been even hotter if we hadn't let it sit for a few mins! This would've been unfortunate at any point in our dinner but the first course burning our tongues was tough because it was obviously harder to taste the rest of the food.
