Everything was ok, but not great. Food was average and service was a little inexperienced. Probably wouldn’t go back.

Received excellent service from Kanani who clearly explained the menu and even told us the story of why the restaurant is called Goen. As per usual our dishes were excellent!

Another good dining experience for birthday/Valentines dinner. Had the brussels & cauliflower appetizer and truffle gnocchi w/ shrimp and the marinara/alfredo "winter special" entrees - both very flavorful. Finished the meal with basque cheesecake. Our server Amalie (sp?) was spot on all evening!

The food was amazing! Music was a little loud for the beginning of our meal, but noise level decreased as night went on. Our server was great, food was fantastic and drinks were delicious. Thank you for getting our note about the birthday! We enjoyed it and look forward to coming back!
