Pizza was good. It was thin crust, while I prefer thick (but that's me). Salad was premade and very good. The restaurant feels clean and fresh. We took our dinner to go and plan to return. I would like to see more pizza choices in the future. read more

I like the country style decorations. The food was very fresh and nicely cooked. The service was pretty standard, even though it was busy. The coffee drink was delicious, I wish I have a photo of it. It looked like a coffee with wiped cream, with a little bit booze taste, very pleasant. read more

This review is for brunch only and I do plan to go back to try out the dinner service at some point. Interior update is of course, beautiful. It was very sweet to pull up on an October morning with all the beautiful trees. The food was just OK. I was very excited for the cinnamon rolls, however, we had a guest that has a severe allergy to nuts. When we inquired about the contents of the cinnamon rolls, the server came back and said "Chef said they're made in a factory" which 1) Did not answer our question about the nut allergy and 2) Thank you for telling us these are not actually made in house lol. I'll give it to them, the factory cinnamon rolls are good. We can confirm there are no nuts in the cinnamon rolls. I got the "braised beef hash" which I was excited about and was surprised when actually chunks of braised beef came out in no hash form whatsoever. The beef was perfectly fine. The crispy potatoes appeared to be controversial. I liked the crispiness and thought they tasted fine! Another friend of mine really enjoyed the omelet with ham and gruyere. Two friends who got the biscuits & gravy said the ratio was a little off. There was one gentleman working around the room who has clearly been in the game. The other server we had could benefit from a little more training/support perhaps. I asked for coffee three separate times, which he acknowledged three times, and never got it. The Good Table has a lot of potential, hope they can turn it around! read more

The Good Table is a shell of its former self. It's basically takeout pizza with tables to eat at, with only three choices of pizza: pepperoni, mushroom or cheese. Our pizza was delivered to our table in takeout boxes. Premade salads came in plastic containers. We fetched our flimsy plates and plastic cutlery from a water station. The food was average. In short , there's no reason to get pizza here with so many better options available in the greater Portland area. "Dining" at what was once a vibrant hometown restaurant was a depressing experience. I hope the owners have better things in store for this restaurant because it deserves better. On the plus side, the young staff was friendly. read more

It's unclear whether the owner wants people to dine in or not. We were served in "to go boxs" at our table. My husband and I were wondering do they want us to leave. Considering an 18% tip for literally no service, we wondered what are we doing here. read more

After reading a beautifully written feature on The Good Table in Down East Magazine, we finally felt inspired to go. This spot had been on our list since moving to Maine, and it felt like the perfect time. We booked same-day reservations for brunch and ended up having one of the best brunches we've ever had in Maine. From the food to the service and the cozy ambiance, everything was perfect; so much so that I bought a gift card before we left because I knew we'd want to come back soon. The brunch menu isn't huge, but it had just the right amount of variety. I ordered the croissant French toast, and my husband went for the burger. Both were incredible. After my first bite, I turned to him and said, "I don't think I've had French toast until now"--it was that good. The cranberry compote on top was *chef's kiss*. My husband's burger was cooked to perfection l. The coffee was amazing, served in the cutest little cup that made me feel like I was at a cabin-themed restaurant tucked in the mountains. The staff kept refilling it without us ever needing to ask. Our Bloody Marys were just as impressive. Everything about the experience; from the warm, attentive service to the inviting, homey vibe of the restaurant; made it feel extra special, especially on a chilly day. I can't believe it took us this long to visit The Good Table. I already can't wait to go back. read more

We were visiting from out of town and stopped in for dinner. The ambiance was quaint in this old house with a large porch. It was a bit loud inside, but the table was cute. The prices were pretty high and it didn't seem like they should be. Was nice, but not up to those prices. My vegan entree was $28, so obviously the cheapest. Fish and chips was $30 and large portions. They do have a kid menu so that was nice, but my daughter's Mac and cheese (which I finished bc I wasn't very full from my meal and who doesn't finish their kid's Mac?) was bland. Would not personally go again but the people were nice. read more

This restaurant was once a great local spot to enjoy a meal from a broad and varied menu of well-prepared and reasonably priced entrees. And, the service matched the quality of the food. The new rendition of the recently reopened Good Table is just what the branding suggests. The menu is pizza and pastry. Don't expect much more. Three choices of basic pizza, salads, and pre-packaged cookies and Rice Krispy bars are ordered at the bar and delivered to your self-selected table in boxes and plastic bowls along with paper plates. The three choices of draft beer were all unavailable and the wine choice limited. The price for a pizza, small salad, and a beverage seemed unreasonably high for the quality and limited service. The best description I can offer for this first and last experience at the new Good Table pizza and pastry stop is confusion and disappointment. There is limited advertising, no menu posted on the website, and a staff that needs to explain the process of how things work as you enter. This lovely building which once housed a great local restaurant is now best described as a take out pizza joint. A real loss to the community. read more

Pros: Food is good and waitress was good. Cons: Very loud - felt like we had to yell to hear each other! I know they added some sound proofing to the ceiling, but it is not doing the trick. Wine glasses are ridiculously small for the price and overall prices are quite high. I always want to love this place in the neighborhood, but still have some issues to fix. read more

Very overpriced and food hit or miss. Good: Bolognese was pretty good. Drinks are decent Bad: Bland / mealy fish and chips. Chowder was the thick / non-Maine variety and not great.. Bottom line: Please get it together, we want to support you but high-priced / not-great food ain't it. read more

I stopped in for a solo lunch. Such a sweet place with great food. Gotta love outdoor seating as well! read more

Closed until....? They told their staff just before Christmas that they'd be closing for an undetermined break starting Jan 4th. Most of the staff left by 12/28 so that was the last day. Avoid Prentice group restaurants...very poorly done. read more

Food was okay. Ordered the vegetable pasta first and really did not enjoy. Then ordered fish and chips and for a classic dish couldn't go wrong. Others ordered the halibut and asked for it to be blackened which was delicious so wish I ordered that instead. The strip steak was also a good a choice. read more

We have been to The Good Table restaurant several times over the past few years, and this was our first visit under the new ownership. This is a classic case of the good news in the bad news: The interior had been nicely redone, looking clean and classy, but the friendly welcoming ambience of the past was gone. The hostess was slow to come find us standing around, waiting in the middle of the room, and the waitresses seemed likewise uninterested in serving those already seated at the tables. Our waitress was slow coming to take our initial orders and similarly slow on follow up visits and seemed genuinely disinterested. Those seated at adjacent tables seemed frustrated, needing to flag down the waitress for their checks or service needs. Overall, ambiance was cool and sterile. The food on the other hand was very good. The Kale Caesar salad was wonderful, my wife's Halibut was creatively prepared and delicious, and my half roasted chicken was also very tasty. Considering the prices, one expects both quality food and friendly engaging service. The Good Table Restaurant was sorely lacking in the latter. On balance, we left disappointed, preferring the restaurant in its previous iteration... read more

The staff is amazing ! Wonderful server, and hostess . But question why is it so expensive? The portions were small the salad dressing bland .. one crab cake 16.00 very little crab mostly cake. Fries over spiced .. haddock very average the halibut totally over priced 36.00 for small piece of fish and scantily veggies. Smallest portion of pasta I have ever seen. Once again service was wonderful, food over price and average. read more

My wife and I came here for our anniversary. We were greeted with well wishes from the staff and a glass of Prosecco. Service was amazing all around. We had the Kale Salad, Crab Cake, Halibut, Mac'n Cheese, and Mashed potatoes. The star of the show was the halibut but everything was amazingly simple and delicious. Wish we could have explored more of the menu. read more

As we entered The Food Table, the music was so loud we had to shout to be heard by the receptionist. Asked her to mute the music, which she did. We arrived for brunch. Grandson is gluten free, and the server stated they had no gluten free bread or rolls. He asked for lettuce wrap around the burger, and she said the only lettuce they had was shredded. Daughter asked for onions to be added to the mushroom scramble, and server stated their policy was to not allow any additions, just removals. This is a neighborhood restaurant, and we were very disappointed. Probably won't return, and would not recommend it to anyone who asked. read more

What once was a wonderful restaurant with personality and flare had been sold a while ago and turned into a bland, boring restaurant with poor food and little choice on the brunch menu.the omelet was overcooked and ham cubes made it messy and hard to eat. An English muffin with the Benedict was so tough it could not be cut with a sharp knife. There are practically no gluten free options to choose from. Prices were high ($3.50)for an 8 oz ice tea! Wait staff is very attentive but it doesn't make up for the blandness of the establishment. We were so disappointed and will not return. read more

The brussel/kale caeser is amazing! I also enjoyed the rib eye special. I love sitting at the bar and watching the bartender whip up cocktails. Our service was excellent, and I find the staff very welcoming. read more

Wowowow. We tried The Good Table for dinner last night and it was incredible! The burger was perfection, especially with the side of mac. We had a lovely server, and the whole team was very attentive and friendly. A pleasant surprise was the view through the back windows, which made it feel like you're tucked away in the woods. We can't wait to go back. PS: you need the rolls. read more

Good Table not so good anymore. Food average. Brunch menu limited. Service ok. Was friendly now fancy. Was Maine now NYC. Locals loose in the region's foody frenzy but to be fair, if you are from "away" you won't notice. read more

Four lunch meals, 2 ave 2 very good! All four were over priced, but what isn't? They have a "kitchen wellness" tax of 3%. The hostness was nice, but our server was stoic, no smiles, so not sure what her problem was, but 1/2 through we received a new server who was excellent. Coffee was served tepid. The table was clean but sticky. Bread options for toast was white/wheat or English muffin. This is an example of the overall menu choices. This is not the friendly, happy, many options, great food Good Table from the past. Best of luck!! read more

Just didn't do it for me. The cocktail was served in a thimble, but it was tasty - so there's that, but way way too small for the price. But I ordered the burger and it was completely and utterly uninspired. Hardly anything on it and just pretty insipid. Fries were meh, too. Other diners got better meals, so maybe there is room for growth, but not too sure. If I go back, I'll get the roast for 2 as a nearby table ordered that and it did look good. Service was very good, so that's a plus. read more

This is one of my favorites for brunch and also for dinner. The menu is hearty, but has amazing options for the lighter taste buds. The staff are so welcoming, sweet and knowledgeable. The kitchen team really puts a lot of thoughtfulness into their dishes. I would highly recommend! read more

Amazing brunch spot. delish menu with something for everyone. went with my parents, wife and our 1yr old daughter. very family friendly.

Having been a long time devotee of The Good Table for many years with the previous owners I was anxious to try it with new ownership- I ordered the chicken- something I would not typically order out- the dish was served with farro and broccolini- it was absolutely delicious - the sauce that was with the chicken was heavenly- the chicken was tender and crispy- a very elevated dish. I will say that I think the menu could be expanded some as it is presently a bit limited- that said, it would be hard for me to get by the chicken in the future! read more

So delicious! Under new management. Excellent service and food. The pasta and steak was to die for, brown bread was the best. We will be back!!! read more

We wrnt back to The Good Table and were amazed at the food, the service and the updated interior. My husband had the Snitzel, as recommended by our waiter, and it was fabulous. I had the muscles and they were not only delicious but more than I could eat. The service was impecable. The staff was right on target. They had been trained by an experienced manager. We arevlucky to live nearby. We will be back!!! Oh yes - and their chocolate pie was devine! read more

The building was inviting , with lighting and seating on the covered porch. Marlo greeted and welcomed us. Hannah made excellent recommendations and visited our table at just the right intervals. Jenn checked on us throughout our meal. We tried a wide variety of dishes; rolls, crab cake, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, gnocchi, pork rib eye, mussels, and oysters. The food flavors were distinct and not melded together. We had the pleasure of meeting Chef David as we were leaving. We enjoyed our dining experience. The ambiance was lovely, down to the paint colors, artwork, lighting, historic photos, and fresh flowers! read more

Food was okay, very expensive and they added a tip for the kitchen staff???? Do the owners not pay the kitchen staff a proper wage? Do they not know how to run a restaurant. Pretty disappointing read more

The Good Table is a great little spot in Cape Elizabeth. The ambiance is quaint classic Maine. The noise level is medium, not too noisy but definitely not quiet. Our waiter was very helpful, wine glasses were reasonably priced, and I was able to eat a delicious tofu-mushroom dish while my wife was able to have the cavatelli pasta and my kid had butter pasta. Don't skip the salad, it's a winner. read more

We had a very nice family dinner and were pleased to get a reservation somewhat last minute on a summer weekend. We asked to be reseated as the outside area was a bit too loud with kids. Inside was quieter. The kale salad is phenomenal, it is massaged perfectly and the parmesan Caesar dressing superb, the burgers were excellent, although the fries were not enjoyable, seeming to be extruded, at least not freshly cut. I ordered a glass of pinot noir and I would say it was disappointing and perhaps not pinot noir - too dark color and sweet tasting. Overall acceptable but will probably wait to return. Others at the table were not super impressed with fish and chips and schnitzel, but acceptable. Service was good and food timely. read more

We stopped by for dinner for the first time. The food and service were both great. Steak, salad, schnitzel, poutine, and smoked trout were all very well prepared and tasted excellent. They also had great wine and mixed drinks. I recommend. read more

Stopped by when we were checking out the lighthouses in the area. What a great stop. AMAZING bloody's, and we are picky about our bloody's!! I got the spicy and just the right amount of kick. So good, I had to have another! We also split a bowl of clam chowder and a lobster roll. Clam Chowder was GREAT, with a very generous portion of clams! The lobster roll was good, with a nice portion of lobster meat. Staff were very nice and helpful. Really enjoyed our lunch and will look forward to stopping by when we are in the area again. read more
