   I can’t complaint about the ambiance and the environment which is right by the waterfront. The server was friendly and was good but I suppose you don’t go there for the food. Very disappointed in the quality of the food. My son couldn’t finish his chicken fingers which were not good as I tasted it. My chicken sandwich was good but the salad was not a garden salad. There were raisins and flax seed mixed with feta cheese and greens. Weird combination. My wife ordered fish and chips and the fish was missing something which was not the best she had. Maybe we had high expectations but had to share our experience.

   Over the summer the Goodman Pub and Kitchen has been hit or miss. The main reason it was a miss in the past is because they could not accommodate us with dining area that we had requested and was confirmed at time of reservation. We went elsewhere. This time it was a hit. Yes it was a Sunday night and yes it was not busy. However the service was outstanding and the food was delivered hot and tasty. We credit our server (Mo) for the great service and hot food.

   Nice restaurant on the harbour front. Outside area had screens and heaters which was nice as it was a chilly evening when we visited. The food was nice and good value.

   Food was too salty and service was poor even though there weren't many other patrons in the restaurant. We were told that there would be an automatic service charge applied due to the size of our group (12) which would've been fine if there was actual service going on. We were seated in the inner dining room so I can't comment on the service in the outdoor area. Overall not a good experience.

   The place has a great atmosphere and is very well located. The patio offers a lovely view of the lake. The food is decent, and the service is friendly, though a bit slow. However, we had a rather unpleasant experience. We were a group of nine, and as we were wrapping up, it got chilly on the patio. The three of us who were still there asked to move to another table. We went to the one the waiter suggested, but shortly after, the manager approached us, saying that the table belonged to another section with a different server. She asked us to return to our previous area if we weren’t planning to order more. She didn’t bother helping us find another table or get us settled; we had to do it ourselves. I understand servers rely on tips, but this kind of treatment isn’t acceptable. It felt like once you’ve spent your money, you no longer matter. I hope they improve their service.

   The quality of the fish and chips was unacceptable. The fish was not cooked to the desired doneness, and the fries were not fresh. The waitress arrived approximately 20 minutes after placing our order. During this time, we engaged in a conversation about our drinks and food choices. However, the drinks arrived after the food had been served, and we were forced to consume half of our meal before receiving our beverages. Despite our request for drinks without ice, the instructions were not followed. Additionally, no cutlery was provided until we specifically asked for it, along with ketchup. Given these issues, we would not recommend this establishment to others.

   Waiting for outdoor patio was a waste of time. Lots of open tables but insufficient staffing to seat and serve them. Ended up eating indoors. Service, food and drinks were all very good. Menu had a good variety included vegetarian, vegan and gluten-sensitive options.

    Great window table with a view of the waterfront and excitement on the boardwalk. Nice and quiet spot to have lunch with a friend.
