Cute spot w/ delish natural wines, a decent snack menu, and great service. I had a nice chat with the stand-in chef (Johnny, I believe). He asked about my mushroom toast and was super receptive to my feedback. Would def come back

Decent wine selection. The food is SO BAD. The walnut pesto is so acidic and otherwise flavorless on top of stale bread. We also had the prosciutto checheti which we could have made at home using store bought prosciutto and smuckers jelly (and more stale bread). This was a super disappointing dining experience given the price. Thankfully they’re in a fun location because that seems to be the only appeal

Arrived dining alone at 2:00 on a Sunday. Only 4 parties in restaurant, all already dining. Lots of employees milling about. Hostess was very friendly, waitress was not. She wanted to take food order as well as my cocktail order, so I did. The strawberry daiquiri I ordered was sour and flavorless. The half berry perched on the glass with yellow shriveled leaves was the most tasteful thing about it. Shortly, my food arrived, and I asked the waitress if the daiquiri was supposed to be this sour? I just couldn’t drink it. She volunteered to switch it for a strawberry margarita. I said thanks and I was fine with that. The lamb shakshuka looked good, but I found an eggshell the size of a quarter was in it as well as the smaller pieces my teeth found. 15 minutes later, a busser removed my plate. Two minutes later, my waitress finally arrives with my drink ( there was no one in the restaurant) and I told her about the eggshells and that I just wanted my check. When she brought it, she said that she took care of the daiquiri. So, $50.00 later, 1 sip of margarita and the crunch of eggshells was how I left. I was dining alone, so I try to be very friendly, order and tip generously, but when I left, I just felt badly, and kind of taken advantage of.

Griffin and Chris behind the bar were great. They made us out-of-towners feel welcomed. Very knowledgeable and friendly, so if you love natural wines, this place will not disappoint. Absolutely will return again.

Very very good natural wine bar. Good music. Try the orange wine and artichokes.

this is a lovely spot for a meal, you can watch the boats on the river and the decor is unique. We were in a big hurry when we arrived, just looking for something lite before heading to the ballet and the staff was very accomodating, brought our food very quickly and took care of the check quickly also. I'd love to go back for a leisurely meal. You do pay a price for the atmosphere.

Loved the food and was adventurous trying new dishes. The steak kabob was amazing!! My only complaint was that the food came out too fast and we weren’t finished with one course before the next came out.

Natural wine bars are unique and so it seems there is little done to set themselves apart from other wine bars. GoodFunk is no different. They have a good selection of natural wines and a normal ambiance for such a wine bar. I found it lacking in decor and originality but hey, there's wine.
