The Good Food Co.

The tables inside The Good Food Company’s 150-seat dining room are filled with artful meals that pile up as mini sculptures on plates drizzled with sauce. Though the menu changes seasonally, it’s sure to highlight inventive flavor combinations such as their filet with wild rice and a lemon and basil sauce or duck with garlic potato cakes. Lighter lunch fare comes in such forms as grilled salmon served in on a salad or french baguette and a burger whose meat is freshly processed in-house. Behind the 18-seat bar, a wine connoisseur fills glasses with an extensive list of squeezed grapes.

Additionally, the chefs freeze a menu of take-and-bake entrees made from organic and seasonal ingredients whenever possible, from chicken or beef pot pie to scoops of mac 'n' cheese. Each dish comes in a variety of sizes, such as a medium portion, which serves four to five diners, or a large tray, which sates the appetites of six to eight people or 0.4 Mark McGwires.
