   Love the redesigned dining area. Our food was excellent! I had the Wok Shrimp from the old menu. It was just as good or maybe even better than before. Hubby loved his Chicken Tikka Masala. Our server, Tyler was excellent. So accommodating! His descriptions were right on and the service was prompt and delightful. We look forward to returning to Good News soon.

   This was our first return since the new ownership and remodel. We were pleasantly surprised that the new ownership did not miss a beat with the delicious dishes and awesome service. We will be back.

   Appetizers and service were very good, however, all of the main courses were overcooked and tasteless. We had shrimp and grits, crabcakes, the special fish for main courses, all disappointing.

   Service was fine. We ordered a special pork schnitzel and at 4 pm sold out. We then ordered tje 1/3 chicken and thankfully were informed it was only chicken legs because the kitchen received a wrong delivery. So we ordered the salmon and the chicken tikka masala. It was fine. We opted for dessert special. Coconut cake with whipped cream and strawberries. We got one strawberry cut in quarters. The cake was so refrigerated and didn’t taste fresh. Oh and the gem lettuce salad was really Romaine. Not impressed. However the server did his best to accommodate us with a generous pour of wine. Comping dessert and coffee. I will be back to give them another chance. as I believe it was just a bad day.

   This successor to Carole Peck's Good News Restaurant and Bar seems to be trying hard to meet the very high expectations for such a successor. Although the menu is no longer the same without Carole Peck, we had delicious food and left with the intent to return, as this had been our first choice for so many years. We shared the pate appetizer, which was nicely presented and delicious. Our main dishes were the Shrimp and Grits (on special) and the Wok-seared Shrimp (on the daily menu). Both were delicious, with wild shrimp, and the servings were generous. So happy to find high-quality ingredients, well-prepared, once again.

   Food was excellent and drinks delicious. Atmosphere was very nice, chairs super comfortable. Wait staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable about what they offered. Open on Mondays which is rare in Woodbury.

    This is the second time I’ve been here with my wife. My scallops were excellent, and the mushroom risotto was cooked to perfection. Loved the sauce. My wife had meatloaf with mashed potatoes and asparagus. She indicated it was extremely good and she was glad that she ordered it. Our waitress was outstanding great service very considerate And always following up on request.
