Oysters.. yummy
Kimberly F.

Amazing oysters! Great ambiance. Such a cute restaurant! I would definitely recommend the oysters! The service was slow at first but very good! Definitely want to try date night here again!

Falafel latke

Eight years after my first review here, still a huge fan of Goodkind. I might even love them a little bit more after this last weekend. In addition to the still impeccable cocktails and delicious food, this past weekend they were serving up a sanctuary daiquiri with the proceeds heading directly to the Immigrant Law Center in Minnesota. Also, if you didn't know, any evening, you can 'plate it forward' for $20. The food is always delicious and the drinks divine. Offering all this deliciousness and avenues to help? Magical. Get to it! And, order the chocolate stout cake for dessert. You won't regret it.

Old fashioned and whiskey sour

What a great Bayview find! Goodkind was a cute neighborhood restaurant with the coziest vibe. We loved the high quality cocktails, pork chop and seafood pasta (unfortunately no photo of this one). They made the experience extra special with a handwritten birthday card and dessert.

Sourdough with salted butter
Jill B.

Another great experience at Goodkind! Our zero-proof beverages were fantastic - we tried the spicy pineapple mock marg and the garden gnome, which was so good I had 2. The food was really good - came out very quickly. We had the Brussels sprouts salad (fantastic), the sourdough with salted butter (so good!), the chicken, the beef cheeks (yum), and the spicy crab pasta. We shared a mini gateau basque for dessert with some coffee - really good! Our server was excellent - friendly, helpful, accommodating with a food allergy, and just generally pleasant. The vibes are great - cozy, laid back, and comfortable. I especially love all the plants mixed in with the eclectic decor.

This was a very cozy restaurant. There was a lot of warm/yellow lighting that made the restaurant feel homey. At times it did feel like the music was on a little too loud, where it felt like my friend and I were shouting to hear each other. The food and service were amazing. I got the Fennel Pollen Dry Brined 1/2 Amish Chicken and my friend got the Linguini Alla Carbonara. Both were incredible. The chicken was not dry at all and the vinaigrette paired really well with the vegetables. We also got the Chocolate Stout Cake for dessert. The brittle on top...fire. I'm excited to stop by again and try their other dishes with each changing season.

Food: 4/5 Prices: 4/5 Location: 4/5 Service: 5/5 This is one of those affordable-ish fancy restaurants tucked away in the side streets just outside of downtown. So parking is free on the street. From the outside you might even mistake it for a house. This is one of those restaurants whose menu constantly changes because the chef always tries something new. See pics for food samples. But overall flavor-wise it was great. Loved the cheese selection. I just found my pork chop a little over cooked and the deserts can be a little sweet. But inside has a lot of character with tabletop candle lighting. Restaurant interior overall is pretty dim which would be nice for a date night. But on a busy night is very loud inside. There is some seating outdoors though. Our server was attentive it fill our waters without prompting and was able to give us a good overview of the menu.

Ambiance: super intimate restaurant with light decor aspect to it. I did not like how loud it was in there to the point we couldn't really hear eachother & i don't think it was the music. just how busy & small the restaurant is. Service: our service was okay - she messed up our cocktail order twice and it felt like she didn't come by our table often enough. Food: we got the spicy crab pasta & that was a 3/5. I didn't think it was spicy and it was just kind of bland - not sure if it's because we put the crab on the side but even with it mixed in, i didn't care for it. the champagne battered oyster mushrooms were really good! it was light and crispy and the sauce was delicious. we got the 1/2 amish chicken which was also very good & flavorful. for sides, we got french fries & the sourdough bread which were good (as expected)

Fennel Pollen Dry Brined 1/2 Amish Chicken
Harmony L.

First stop on our Milwaukee trip! We came on a Friday evening and thankfully there was a reservation available. We started with the Crispy Brussel Sprouts Salad and Champagne Battered Oyster Mushrooms. Salad was delicious with the right amount of dressing, the oyster mushrooms I wish didn't have as much breading. It took over the flavor of the mushrooms unfortunately. The 1/2 chicken was insanely big! Was worth every penny. The fish had a very light breading, which was good. We were too full for dessert, but maybe next time.

Rotisserie chicken with vegetables & dill sauce

Great food and service. It is a little noisy but well worth it. Staff knew the menu and was happy to adjust to make it yours

FINALLY made it to burger night and it didn't disappoint. I've always loved Goodkind and think it is one of Milwaukee's quaintest and cutest restaurants! The vibes are perfect- I love the wallpaper and all of the decor. The crispy Brussels sprout salad was incredible, and I am still thinking about the garlicky dressing that really made the dish! For burger night, I love that they change it up each week and create something fun the day of service. The night we went, our burger was topped with red rock crab, a hollandaise sauce, and avocado. Slightly different combo, but I love fresh crab and the burger really came together for a well balanced brunch vibe . The fries were tasty, but the beer batter was a little heavy for my liking- still ate them though and enjoyed with the sauce. We took some of our burger and fries home, and it was almost better the next day. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive. I love that they have a N.A. cocktail selection- the spicy mock marg was a 10/10. Will definitely return for more burger nights and regular dinners!

Sformato
Jennifer N.

This is your sign to book your reservation now! Dined for two on a Saturday night. It was warm, comfy, and cozy. We sat at a booth near the back with views of the whole restaurant. This spot was so unique and we really enjoyed all the details of the restaurant. We started with the sformato and then the pork tenderloin and spicy crab bucatini. The sformato had a great mix of fresh, crispy, and creaminess. We felt like the crab bucatini was too heavy on the pasta and didn't have enough of the spicy crab. It wouldn't be my first pick next time but it was a great first few bites. Make sure you walk around the neighborhood before or after your meal! This side of town is adorable!

meatball entree

First time here. And we were very impressed (mostly). Make a reservation and got in right away. It was early Saturday night and the place was full. It's an interesting layout and design. Has a hip, art-deco vibe going on. Nicely lit and lot of interesting items to check out (wallpaper, plants, vases, etc). What we also noticed right away was both the noise level and how close the tables are. Our server got to us right away, and did an amazing job the entire night, checking in, clearing plates, getting drinks, and hot water my the tea. Thanks Eric! We got the Brussel Sprout Salad, along with the Meatballs, and Trout. All were excellent. Lot of flavors, textures, and good portions. I would say that it is the best Pan Seared Trout that I have ever had. Didn't have room for dessert, but maybe next time. Would love to come back. But the crowding of the tables, and the noise level, was less than optimal. Felt like we were part of 3 different conversations. It was a little hard to ignore. We might try another night, other than a busy Saturday night.

Spicy Crab Pasta & Jamaican Coconut Curry (seasonal)
Julia J.

WOW! Visited about a month ago and stilllllll thinking about the spicy crab pasta and the jamaican coconut curry. Both dishes were flavor filled and just YUMMY! I posted the picture attached to my instagram and I swear I had 10 people reach out like "I need that" and I can confirm, you do. Would recommend sharing larger plates to get a taste of all the goodness at Goodkind.

Delicious crab pasta dish
