Feedback
The restaurant, located in the city center, fell short of being a great spot for business meetings due to lukewarm proteins and a cold atmosphere. Despite this, the vegetable momo and garlic nan were outstanding, and the goat curry was enjoyed by one diner. Service was praised as very good and attentive. However, there were complaints about slow service, incorrect orders, and small appetizer portions, which could be detrimental to the restaurant's success. On the bright side, the staff were described as very nice and helpful, providing unique and delicious Nepalese cuisine at fair prices. A mid-week visit revealed a quiet atmosphere with outstanding service and quick food delivery. Overall, the food was delicious, with standout dishes like the Iowa corn soup and chicken breast. Unfortunately, the restaurant has since closed, leaving patrons with fond memories of good food and service.
The location of Goldfinch is great, right downtown on Court Ave near Hy-Vee and the night scene for later if you so desire! With the option to sit indoors
Went to this new swanky restaurant before seeing a show at the Civic CenterWe ordered the Farmer's Chicken, the guacamole and the seasonal flatbread.
I really enjoyed the farm to table concept and after our server explained some of the menu items in more depth even things that I wouldn't usually try
Very good experience. I'm sorry they close....
Our reservation was at 7:00 and two of the beef entree options were not available. We would have liked to at least had the full menu available. We order an appetizer and our salads just to get things started. Both arrived at the same time, that is never a good start to excellent service. Our server was not very attentive but adequate.
