Good Intentions

Loved the wedge salad. The crab cakes were amazing. Nachos had an awesome presentation, and what made them shine was their cheese sauce and being liberal with their pickled jalapeños. We brought guests with standard diets and one swore she would go back she loved it so much. This place played music at a great volume for dinner but looking around you can tell they can get the party bumping in there for an event. Very happy we visited.

My wife and I love going to this restaurant and make a point to visit it anytime we are in the area. It is a highlight of our evening. We were so extremely disappointed the last time that we went. The service was incredibly slow. The server (who apparently refuses to write anything down) messed up my wife's order. She has a gluten allergy and ALWAYS makes a point to specify that anytime we go out. It was very obvious the restaurant was busy, they were understaffed, and it was very very predictable that he was going to screw up one of our orders. When the food arrived (about 45 minutes later) my wife told the server that her order was incorrect. He said he was sorry and would fix it. Her correct order took an additional 30 mins to come back and looked absolutely horrendous. I told the server that it look really bad, and he said that if he wasn't busy he would have never brought it out. Then he blames my wife, saying she never told him she was GF. We asked to speak to the manager on our way out and we waited another 10 minutes to speak to someone and by the time we left no one came to talk to us.Btw, her order was a burger. A simple burger. Smh.I wish I didn't feel like we needed to write this. However, this one experience will forever change our decision to dine there and our recommendation to friends to dine there.

I asked MDF, to find a nice place for lunch after our great visit to the Imagine Museum, she looked at G I and saw crab cakes on the menu and it was close by so we decided to give it a try, if she had looked further at the ingredients she would have see that the crab cakes were made of jackfruit, and hearts of palm. When we sat down, I was a little confused by the menu, I found myself in a vegan establishment and did not see a lot of options that interested me.!MDW, and daughter said "let's give it a try", and after my initial shock I agreed. MDW, and I ordered the Tarpon style greek salad, my daughter had the breakfast burrito, and the little one had the silver dollar pancakes. The food was ok, but not really what we had in my mind, I think the dinner menu had more of a selection that would have made it a better experience for us.

Wonderful as always. Lisa was our server and she was great. We get the whipped ricotta and the Cobb salad every time, but we wanted to try a new appetizer, so she recommended the tofu satay. Absolutely loved the creamy cashew sauce and the fried tofu was done very well. We carb-ed out on the entrees with two pasta dishes. My partner really enjoyed the bolognese sauce, while I had to try the gnocchi they're currently offering (style does change "seasonally" (idk how often)). We loved everything as expected :)

We went Thursday evening for dinner. We arrived closer to 8 pm. Seems like there was only one server and a bartender. The bartender was not busy and didn't help the server one bit and he was slammed. It took about 5-10 minutes before he could even come say hi. We decided to sit at the bar. We ordered some beer and the whipped ricotta which was delicious. The bartender was not great. Considering she was not that busy her service skills were lacking. We then ordered the Mediterranean Pearl couscous dish and the crab balls. Both dishes were delicious. Overall the food and ambiance were good but service could be better. It was pricey and I'm not sure that was worth the price but it's nice to go to a place where I have a lot of options

Omigosh! Yaaaassss! It's vegan heaven! We are so in LOVEEEE! We were totally satiated with our selections. We started with the Whipped Ricatta, then ordered the Skyway Melt Burger & the Kimchi Fried Rice and a spicy margarita with a Tajin rim! We finished our meal with the Cherry Blossom & Lemon Beignets! So fabulous and so incredibly delicious! We'll be back in a couple of days... like, for real!

My partner and I went to this hidden gem one night an hour before closing on a Sunday when we took an impromptu beach trip. We popped in for dinner since it was a vegan place with many options that I would enjoy. Upon arrival we were the only diners as they were almost approaching closing time, however we were treated in such a warm welcoming manner. The setting was dim, romantic, and very intimate with a cool vibe which was perfect for my personal style. The hostess was kind and sat us down before our server Kara quickly approached us with a bubbly personality offering us cold water to start off. We were new to the restaurant so she was very knowledgeable on the menu and also knew items to recommend per our request as well as any specials or items that were not available. We started off with the crab cakes as a shareable appetizer which is an absolute must when visiting. These delectable bites are crispy and crunchy on the outside with a savory center that includes cheese within the filling. It's topped off with bacon bits and black sesame seeds marinated in a spicy sweet hot sauce and tiny slices of red chili peppers as a garnish. These are not too spicy unless you eat it with the red pepper. I like to cut them in half and eat in small bites. You will not be disappointed. The provolenta burger has a freshness with the chimichurri and red pickled onions. The aioli adds the savory richness to each bite. It was deliciously paired with potato salad per my request however they do offer side salads, fresh veggies, fries or sweet potato fries as well for side options. The sky melt burger is a warm cozy evening wrapped up in sour dough bread. This burger is so full of savory richness with meat, cheese and caramelized onions. Paired with crispy seasoned fries, it's a home run. I would recommend this place to anyone in the area. It's a beautiful dining space to spend time with loved ones, friends, family, or even yourself. The food is consistent and the friendliness as well. We visited for a second time and ordered the same items, and all were spot on as well as our service from Vivian. Anytime we are in St. Pete they can expect a visit from us.

Nice Saturday brunch. Under staffed but solid service. Vegan restaurant doing a nice job on variety on menu. Had the 36oz mimosas, prosecco on draft lacked bubbles. The breakfast burrito was good salad was on small side for entrée.

Being plant based, I'd waited a long time to visit Good Intentions, and the wait was worth it! We arrived at lunch time on a Saturday on a warm day, and found no line, and no wait for a nice table in the coolness of the restaurant. It was super clean, smelled good, and nicely decorated. From the host to our server, staff made us feel welcome and answered any questions we had about the menu and how it all worked. We started with the vaunted Whipped Ricotta. It was tasty, not overly oily or salty, and the addition of the pistachio pesto added to the flavor profile. I confess, we could have used a couple more pieces of bread to eat it on, but we DID go pretty light when we first started.From there, since the menu we were given was a brunch menu, we went with splitting the Loco Moco. It was a smashed Beyond burger on a bed of crispy rice with sweet and sour mushrooms and Just Egg scraon top. Portion size was good, so it was enough for us both. I'm not a huge fan of Beyond meat (anymore - it was great when we were transitioning to PB) as it's too high in sodium and fat, and the smell is a decidedly unique one, so I felt that took away from the meal, but the overall tasted was good. It would be wonderful if they replaced the Beyond burger with their own creation. We were full by the time we finished, so didn't order more, but we will DEF be back with friends for dinner! So much more I want to taste...

General: Had a great date night here! Food was really yummy (and vegan yay!) and drinks were great too! Super cute decor and great vibes all around. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations and also very understanding when I was slow to initially choose a drink and then after the meal when we needed to get out of there quick to make it to another reservation. Loved the whole experience and the fact that it is vegan and n/a friendly and would definitely come back and bring others! Highly recommend! Drinks: I loved that many of the drinks on their menu could be made with or without alcohol - I opted for the Thai O'cha (n/a version) which was delightful and my husband had wine. Food: We started with the southern sriracha crab cakes, which were actually made of jackfruit and hearts of palm. They were DELICIOUS! The shishito peppers were very solid too and came with a nice marinara dipping sauce, which came in handy as a dipping sauce for the bread that came with our entree, the bucatini bolognese, which was also outstanding! We appreciated our server letting us know the bolognese was large and rather filling so we didn't over-order and over-eat.
