On Sunday 15^th of April 2012 in the afternoon, we had lunch in Goode Brothers.  We picked an outside table since the weather was nice.  As we were going through the menu a band turned up and started to set up the stage.  I have to say that the band was great and added a whole new dimension to our dining experience at Goode Brothers. 

The waitress did not take any note of us who were ready to order our food and waited about 10-15min till I managed to catch one of the waitress’ eye.  Although she was smiling and was trying to be nice but you could tell that it was not a genuine smile as a nice gesture and it was only because she had to smile as part of her job description.  In a way, she even throw the cutlery and napkins on the table and left, unlike other café and restaurants where they put the time and the effort to set them up for each customer at their table.

Food and Drinks

Pollo Pamazano $22.90  

The chicken breast fillets were breadcrumbed and pan fried topped with a thick tomato sauce served with some salad.  It was a chicken dish cooked to perfection.  I loved the thick tomato sauce and the melted parmigiano cheese. 

Beef Burger $18.90

The beef paddy is the first thing that catches your eye. It was a nice, thick, juicy beef paddy, served on fresh, soft bread buns with beetroot and fresh salad.  The chips with aioli was a complement to the burger.  For some reason every time I go to Goode Brothers, I end up ordering a burger.   

Ceasar Salad $17.50

The salad was very nice, fresh and crisp.  It had anchovies, chunks of ham, boiled eggs and the croutons gave the Ceasar Salad the edge.  Couldn’t tell what the salad dressing was, but it was very nice and light. 

 

Overall, the food was very nice but the service and the attitude of some of the staff were not good at all.
