   We were seated and only got one menu for 2 people. The host was very difficult to understand. We never received bread but watched all the other tables get a bread basket. Our calamari was missing the dipping sauce, which was very thin and seemed like it should have been a thicker consistency. We ordered a dessert drink and it came after dessert was served and was half way eaten.

   Had an "early bird" Valentine's dinner. Crab cake and Blue Point oysters were tasty apps. Gem salad was generous enough to share. Short rib with mashed potatoes & crispy brussel sprouts was so delicious. Hubby had filet mignon which he said was just okay, would not order again. Key lime pie was delicious. Service was excellent. The decor is updated and inviting, including the comfy cushioned chairs we sat in.

   First time here…..all was well with the exception of first round of drinks. We ordered one cosmo and two espresso martinis with baileys and the cosmo was quite terrible (as this is our normal go to) and our server misunderstood the espresso request and brought us out coffee. They fixed all three drinks and the expresso martinis were very good but the attempt to fix the cosmo was unsuccessful. We didn’t dwell on it however. We simply changed the cosmo on the next round. Appetizers were excellent, enjoyed the roasted Brussels sprouts and lobster bisque soup. Entrees were filet mignon and skirt steak and perfectly prepared. Very enjoyable. We finished with cheesecake that was delicious. Overall, it was a very good meal and would recommend.

   Production staff (kitchen and bar) did a very good job. Service staff was curt and impersonal.

    That is my 3rd time eating at Good News Cafe since they reopened. The food has been consistently good, the nemu an exciting blend with many choices. Service was friendly but professional, I would recommend it to anyone and I'm looking forward to returning for lunch or donner.
