    What makes it fun

    Goodwins is where chemistry, great food, and incredible cocktails are served up with style. It's a wonderful spot for a date with your sweetheart. Goodwins strikes that sweet spot between comfy and captivating, with plush booths, shadowy lighting, arched ceilings, and dark wood. Start your meal by sharing someoysters, spicy tuna cones, cheese beignets, or crispy zucchini chips. Then sink your teeth into a cast-iron filet with bourbon peppercorn sauce or a red-bird half chicken. Come for the martini, stay for the chemistry.

    Taylor was amazing. She anticipates every request and wants to make sure the patrons have what they need.

    We're from out of town and came upon Goodwins by happenstance for lunch. On that trip, we ate lunch and turned around and returned for lunch the next day because we enjoyed it so much. We found ourselves in town again last weekend and would not think of eating anywhere else. The interior design is so well done and well thought out. The interior is perfect for anything from a girl's lunch date to a dinner date. You can come casual or come dressed up. The service is excellent every time. To not be missed: the zucchini chips, frozen cosmo, the chicken salad sandwich (the BEST) and the patty melt. Definitely don't miss the beef tallow fries. Can't wait until our next trip to Dallas which will definitely involve a trip to Goodwins.

    Met here for cocktails at the bar. Loved the ambiance, service, and cleanliness of the establishment! I didn’t try food, this time, but the drinks were absolutely amazing! There was a lady next to me who raved about the Starcrunch Cake with ice cream, I didn’t get a bite, despite her offer, but I will try and come back to update the review.

    I can’t wait to return.

    Goodswings is an awesome spot overall. The service was excellent—everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambience was brilliant too, with a comfortable and welcoming vibe that made the whole experience enjoyable.

    The only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five is because my entrée wasn’t as good as I expected. Everything else, from the atmosphere to the staff, was spot on, so I’d definitely come back and try something different next time.

    Upon entering the ambient lighting and decor sets the tone for the dining experience. Dining rooms are split into a front and rear areas. Food and service were great. Recommend making a reservation for timely seating. Neighborhood street parking available near restaurant or you can valet at the front.

    I was anticipating a really good experience at Goodwins, but it came up a bit short. The atmosphere is wonderful. The colors, tones, artwork, and lighting all combine to give you a warm feeling. It creates the impression you are going to have an elevated and enjoyable experience. But there’s a but… We did enjoy ourselves, but the food was hit and miss. The chicken cutlets, although cooked well with a slight crunch from the breading, lacked flavor. The mac and cheese suffered from the same lack of flavor and was too dense. Two bites of it and you feel full. To remedy the situation, it took me several minutes to flag down our waiter to request some salt. It took several more minutes for him to return with the white crystal flavor enhancer. None of this was particularly egregious. But when you’re seated in such a well-appointed dining room, the disappointment you feel when the food and service aren’t on par gets magnified.
