Bomb dot com 💣 meal at Goodkind, they are most notably known for their creativity, and unique take on everyday lunch/dining items. Their menu changes every week , but some staple items eg. Trout are there to stay 👌 More on Instagram @midwestmunching We had the privilege of enjoying brunch there the day after a beautiful baby shower. Our best friend from London flew in and WOW the food was amazing! 🐟Biggest highlight is the SEARED TROUT, nice and soft yet crispy on the outside with simple pairings fennel, potatoes, bibb salad + thousand island dressing. Literally melts in your mouth every bite 🍟second highlight is BEEF CHILLI POUTINE - they recommended it and they always change the toppings/pairings for the poutine every week. With the chilli, + egg, + beer battered fries & curds, you had every texture & richness bite by bite without losing the structure & role that each ingredient played Others included 🍛BRUNCH RISOTTO - had cheddar + bacon, nice & creamy with the poached egg on top 🥞DANISH PANCAKES stuffed with Gouda & raspberry chocolate jam. Soft & fluffy, + well balanced 🥑AVOCADO TOAST - with sourdough 🍜RESTORATIVE BROTH - wheat noodles with a spicy meat broth & chicken. Broth I think uses fresh chillies and had lots of depth (bone, basil, etc). Would love this if I was hungover haha 😂 Overall a FANTASTIC meal. I usually don't focus too too much on service but they are just amazing - very attentive, kind, typical Midwest +more 👍you can book on @exploretock and ensure you have a seat/booth (given the space is smaller & bit more intimate). Would love to go back again especially for dinner & to try their summer menus

We were just off a commute across the waters to Wisconsin and thought we would enjoy trying some local cuisine. After conducting a bit of research, and being right in the area, we found this gem of a place to eat. It was a true pleasure to experience this dining in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood, near the shores of Lake Michigan. As their website says, “Goodkind is the new epoch in a long, rich history!” Being mid-day, we found two spots open at the bar. The staff was super friendly and we were thankful to have followed their recommendations, as well as the couple sitting next to us. Our orders came quickly and were so visually appealing. Being someone who loves herbs and fresh vegetables, the food was above our expectations. The restaurant blends old-world dining concepts and creates an excellent menu of the old and the new custom entrees. Located inside a residential area with a mix of shopping experiences, Goodkind sat on the corner with diners chatting outside on a small but happy eating out-doors space. Most everyone seemed to be enjoying a house-made cocktail. The Tickety-Boo with Grapefruit flavors was amazing. Piles of tempting-looking plates of pasta were coming out of the kitchen and tables near us – obviously a favorite. But I was thankful that I had already ordered the local veggies and mixed seafood soup. The oysters had simmered in a broth that thrilled us with flavor. The place was busy; we recommend that you plan ahead as it seems that the local community highly favors this place and seating is limited. We only wish it wasn’t so far from the Twin Cities or we’d frequent it more often.

A great supper club in BayView. While the food was pretty good, I think this is more of a trendy spot for drinks/apps, rather than a true supper club experience. Chicken Liver Mousse: 3/5 Good, but not as flavorful or rich as Le Reve. The crackers were a bit mealy and salty. Could’ve benefited from a super thin cracker. Little Neck Clams: 2/5 Way, way too salty. The combination of seafood + bacon is always dangerous, and unfortunately the salt added up. Pork Belly: 4/5 Our favorite dish. A nice blend of salt, sweet, and varied texture. The addition of the apple was nice. The bread crumbs were a bit soggy, but I’m not sure if this was the chef’s intention. Would happily get this again. Spicy Crab Pasta: 3-3.5/5 A surprisingly nice amount of spice with a generous portion of crab. Not a stand out, but definitely not disappointing. Lamb: 3.5/5 A bit salty, but paired well with the chili crisp. The cook was perfect, would order again. Amish Chicken: 3.5/5 Again, on the salty side and portions of the breast were dry. Other portions of the dark meat were great. The crisp on the skin was perfect, but each bite seemed to be hit or miss. Atmosphere: this place is a shoebox with little to break up sound. It is loud - I think getting a drink with apps at the bar is where this place shines. For a true supper club experience, there are better places out there in MKE.

Goodkind is a great local "neighborhood" eatery nestled in the Bay View area. Cozy, homey, and warm are all words I would use to describe the ambiance created when entering Goodkind. I certainly thought one of the highlights of the meal was our service. We had a very attentive staff who bustled about the small space with ease and somehow danced around one another with grace while bringing dishes out to the masses. I appreciate that the last time we were here, Goodkind was still getting its legs, but a mainstay is the spicy crab pasta. A mound of crab atop a mountain of pasta with pepperoni and a slightly spicy sauce. I also thoroughly enjoyed the broasted chicken. Oh my, it was one of the best, juiciest chickens I have had in a while. I was hoping for a red meat selection, but alas, none was to be had the evening we were there. That does speak to how they source their food, and I do appreciate that they maintain high standards for quality. The gataeu for dessert was also a mainstay and should not be missed if you have a sweet tooth. Judging by how busy our sitting was, it is no wonder Goodkind will be around for a long time to come!

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.

Goodkind served me some of the best restaurant food I had in months. I'm extremely excited to take on new restaurants for you all in Mke. The staff was a 10/10 every person was friendly, timely, and knowledgeable. They greeted and seated us in a very populated area of the bar so we ordered cocktails immediately. They had a very impressive menu that out scaled most Chicago restaurants in prowess. The chef exceeded himself when our food arrived and the presentation and attention to detail were demonstrated very well. I would give them more than five stars if I could. They are located in Bay View so it is a drive, however they are one the best I've had so far and it's definitely worth it!
