Might be my new favorite spot in Woodstock. Been here twice so we've tried all kinds of dishes — first time was great, second time a bit less but still good. The overall gastronomy level here is really high. I feel like they don't need to work as hard as in NYC to stay afloat but they still deliver top notch food. I respect that a lot.
The place looks like something you'd find in a Greenpoint or a Williamsburg hotel; French brasserie vibe with art deco accents, bronze, round plush couches, dimmed light.
Coming from NYC, I appreciate how true they stay to Asian dishes... for the most part.
Grilled oyster appetizer — big shells but they're more of a cooked seafood salad which you might not expect. These aren't rockafellar style that I was thinking about.
Pate is... pate. Nothing stands out about it although five spice flavor is definitely cute.
Black cod with clams is the best dish, charred, decadent, the sauce is just right.
Lamb isn't quite as soft as if they sous vide'd it but is still very good and the char on that fat plus the fresh relish go hand in hand.
Scallop congee is excellent, with an egg and chili oil and scallops that melt in your mouth.
Shrimps with peppers are to die for. I wonder if they're coated them in cereal? Whatever it is, it's brilliant.
Korean chicken is delicious but half of it being white meat kinda ruins it (it is "half a chicken" after all).
The fried crispy fish leaves me wanting some sauce to dip it into, those fresh veggies sprinkled on top are not enough.
"Scallion"-like pancake is good but nothing to write home about.
Crispy noodles with mushrooms — love the use of pea shoots but it doesn't quite come together; would rather have regular noodz.
The worst part is their sago dessert with consistency that's way too solid and is entirely off from what it should be. Thankfully, the ube one is great with little mochi balls that make for the perfect contrast to the ice cream.
Special shoutout to their cocktails that are strong and creative.
I would say this is a must when in Woodstock and I can’t...
Read moreThank you to all the staff at Good Night who went out of their way to accommodate a cranky middle-aged lady who has annoying food sensitivities and a bad back.
This was the polar opposite of the experience I had at Pretty To Think So in Rhinebeck last summer (for anyone making the rounds). That was so bad, I have to bring it up even here.
So at Good Night on a Saturday at 8:15, our party was seated outside at a corner table that was too small for six people with a slatted wooden bench and actual 1980s school chairs. This is the only area they loose a star. This seating situation is beneath you, Good Night.
The server was incredibly understanding and offered us solutions to our (my) seating problem as well as providing me with a menu marked up with which items were already free from or could be modified to be free from onion and garlic.
When we were moved to our new table, it was much more comfortable and our new server was fully up to speed on my issues. Even the person who brought out the appetizers knew that I was "allium free." Impressive!
The chickpea tofu was great! The bibimbap was great! My friends said the shrimp and shishito peppers and the croquettes were great. I don't know what else they ate but the birthday banana ice cream with caramel and crispy rice was also great.
One of the managers came by and offered to take our group photo and when we told her that someone in our party was not at the table at the moment, another staff member made sure to come back later to take a photo!
One other nice touch was how we were given new silverware after our appetizers and they took such care in placing the chopsticks artfully across the fork and spoon so that they would not roll away.
Seriously, great experience, you saved me from ruining everyone's night with my...
Read moreMy wife and I as well as our friends and family have dined at Good Night many times and I've yet to leave a proper review. This restaurant is one of my favorite places to sit, eat, laugh and get treated well...ever. Every facet of the experience of being at Good Night is so well thought out, with what seems like a true appreciation and care for their customers. Every aspect is a pleasant one. From the moment you walk into the space you are instantly transported into another world. The elegance of the decor, the lighting, the music all encourages relaxation and enjoyment. This place was established to make people feel good. And once you've taken in the physical surroundings you will find yourself greeted warmly by the front of house staff. It doesn't matter who is working the night you arrive as each host, bartender and server are all working in concert for their customers pleasure. It both feels like you are in the comfort of your own home and a luxurious food spa at the same time. Now to the main course...the food. The menu is set up perfectly to share or not, you can feast the whole night and as their ingredients are fresh and clean and obviously cooked with inspiration and love...you somehow feel lighter than when you arrived. Nourished in the most healthy and complete way without feeling over indulged. Everything about Good Night is exquisite, from the people, the environment and most...
