On a cold Thursday evening, my partner and I made our way over to Goodtime Bar. Ming, one of the bartenders, had graciously invited us to come check out this spot and it definitely lived up to everything he said it was. As you first enter, you walk up to the stunning bar where the best bartenders greet you with wine and walk you through both the menu and different drinks. After ordering, you find a table(interior seating is limited), and you put up your designated number placard. After sipping on our wine and waiting a short bit, our first bites came out. The first thing we received was this awesome beef tartare on sourdough. The texture and flavor on this dish were perfect. Next up, we had the Tom Yum pasta which was also fantastic. Flavor wise the tom yum was strong and balanced out. Furthermore, we ended our entrees with the steak frites which was also perfect. From the cook of the steak to the McDonald’s esque fries and the herbaceous sauce, everything was so delicious on this dish. The portion was also extremely generous. Finally, we got their miso creme brulee which was so delicious as well. There was a perfect crunchy sugar layer on top with a buttery smooth custard inside. The whole vibe of this place was immaculate, and the food matched. From the warm and inviting bartenders like Ming, to the chef inspired dishes coming out of the kitchen, this place blew me away. Genuinely this may be one of the best restaurants I have tried in the past year, and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Side note, there is also a parking lot right in front of the restaurant but they charge $20, so it may be more worthwhile to find parking around the area.

My sister in laws and I came the day before Valentines. We had our galentine’s there. The food and service was amazing. I really enjoyed the employees as well, they were all friendly. The desert was to die for.

Loved this place. So good, beautiful wine selection and the food is so delicious. I pigged out and got 6 plates of food + crème brûlée which was 10/10 btw. Super chill vibes sitting outside enjoying a glass of wine watching the sunset. Only thing that would’ve made it better would’ve been a cheeky cigarette after.

I dined here solo on a work trip. I went because the menu looked so unique. The place did not disappoint and exceeded all expectations! The staff is super friendly and passionate about the food and wine. I ate so many of the best bites of my life- tinned fish! Who knew?? I can’t wait to come back!

Goodtime, where have you been hiding?!
EXPERIENCE: Ming, the man! You made our visit extra special with your expertise on the food and drinks. I loved how easy it was for us to describe a craving and have him sweep us off our feet. We arrived right at 4pm after work and didn’t have to wait for a table. It got way busier around 7pm when we left, so plan accordingly. I did enjoy sitting outside with the lighting and music.
DISHES:
Arancini — I was skeptical about kimchi + arancini … trust! They were so full of flavor and the sauce was insane.
Bluefin Tuna Tostada — smaller portion but still enjoyable, the tuna was very fresh.
Burrata and Figs — brown. butter. enough said.
Fingerling Potatoes — seaweed mayo on the bottom was unreal, we almost wanted another piece of bread to soak this all up.
Mushroom — I was getting full by this point but the tomato sauce on the bottom was to dieee for!
PRICE: Considering the high quality this was a steal. We walked out at $46/pp (incl. tax+tip) for a group of 4 with 2 rounds of drinks + 5 dishes.
I will absolutely bring more friends to discover Goodtime in the near future.

Menu is constantly changing with seasonal items so the one posted is from 9/7/25. Ming was our server and he recommended all the hits and great wine pairings. Everything was delicious and can’t wait to go back.
Nott pictured is the creme brûlée since that we were given to help celebrate our anniversary.

This bar is a great spot if you’re looking for a laid-back place with a good vibe. I went on a Saturday night, and even though it was busy, the service was very friendly, especially the bartender who recommended an excellent wine. The food menu is small, but the wine list is extensive, which is perfect for anyone who loves to explore different options. If you’re not a wine expert, the staff will suggest some good picks. The patio is super cozy, and the music, though not too loud, adds to the atmosphere. Overall, I had a great time, definitely living up to the bar’s name.

This is probably the only place I go to in the South Bay area, to have natural wine and literally a ‘good time’. I only drink natural wine, and it’s difficult to find a decent natural wine place in the area. Always a great selection of bubble, white, rose, orange and red, and the food they have just amazingly pairs well with the wine. They had steak tartar when I stopped by most recently, and wow, it was just amazing. Not pretentious, but seriously good tartar with some nori and shiso toppings on. Love this place.

Wanted to grab a bite after seeing a comedy show at Improv- and we are tired of the usual bar offerings. This place has a few tables indoors & small outdoor patio w heat lamps, hella friendly security guard out front tending to folks in patio. Music inside was good but we sat outside to be able to talk.
Food was surprisingly good- pea sprout salad, patatas bravas, deviled eggs – SO much fresher & tastier than one normally can eat late night. Clean tidy restroom & next to a parking lot & beautiful murals.

Amazing wine bar with a focus on natural wine! The owner, Steven, is super passionate about natty wine. Let him recommend things to you.
The vibe of the bar is super relaxed and chill with good music going on. Didn’t get to try their food, but it seems like they will have 5 wines (a mixture of sparkling, red, whites) on rotation weekly, with each being $14 a glass.
The wines were very good and approachable. Easy to drink. Come here to have a good time!
