For over two 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). |
We believe in good honest food.We believe in honest prices.We believe our customers are our friends. We believe that nothing beats a good dinner party, (lunch or breakfast party.) We’d love to have you join us here at The Good Table.

The Good Table is blessed to be located in between 2 state parks and just miles away from one of Maine’s
oldest lighthouses, Portland Headlight. TwoLights 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.

Scarborough Beach: we can’t tell you where this one is, we may be found on a monday. It's where we go to let go. The lifeguards, the surf, the sand, the rocks, the sandpipers and the belief that Lisa actually ‘owns‘ a small piece of it makes it our favorite place all summer long.
The Good Table hosts special events such as birthday parties, showers, rehearsal dinners and such. We can comfortably seat 50 people and with work squeeze a few more in as needed. The back porch is winterized and cozy in the winter months and offers fresh open air feel in the warmer months. Typically we do not host events during our high season, July and August.
We have special menus for groups over 20, including brunch, lunch and dinner. Brunch and dinner are listed by price point and lunch is typically built according to your desires with Lisa. Desserts are not listed in the menus but of course are available depending on your likes and the season.
We can dress it up or dress it down depending on the event. Call Lisa to talk about your event, she’ll be glad to help you plan out the details and menus.
