About us

          For over three decades we’ve been serving good honest food. We opened The Good Table in 1986. With no advertising our first day open was sunday brunch; every friend, neighbor and family member was put to work that day. It was a very busy first day. At the end of the day daughter Lisa said “Thank God we’re closed on Mondays”
(much to father Tony’s dismay.)
​Some things never change.
​        We’re still serving Sunday brunch, we still work with family and friends and we’re still closed on Mondays.
          In 2001 the restaurant burnt to the ground in the middle of the night; standing in front of the ruins it took no more then 5 minutes to declare we’d build again. The community and far beyond encouraged us to ‘hurry the hell up and rebuild’... we were up and running in less then 7 months.  
            Through thick and thin this place has always brought us happiness and we have maintained the original premise of opening a restaurant which is to throw a good dinner party  (that being the only thing on Lisa’s resume at the time of opening).

where we are 

The Good Table is blessed to be located in between 2 state parks and just miles away from one of
Maine’s oldest li
ghthouses, Portland Headlight.
​Two Lights State Park is less then 2 miles down the road and 
Crescent Beach State Park which is a mile or so on the other side of us.
Two Lights State Park encompasses 41 acres of rocky headlands.
The view of the rocky coast and rolling surf is one of Maine’s finest.
At the end of Two Lights Road
sits the original twin lighthouse built in 1988.
It is well worth a visit.
Crescent Beach is famous for its mile long crescent shaped beach.
​It is surrounded by walking and nature trails. 
The surf is shallow and easy, perfect for young kids and the water weary.
Portland Headlight on Fort Williams Park is also in Cape Elizabeth.
​Fort Williams is home to one of Maine’s 
oldest lighthouses and encompases 90 acres.
​Its a beautiful place for a picnic or a tour of the famous lighthouse.
