Goldie’s opened in March 2024 and serves dinner Tues – Sun in the Lake Highlands area.  It serves upscale American fare with craft cocktails.  Owner couple Brandon Hays and Brittany Grignon collaborated with Brittni Clayton (who used to manage Sister) to bring an old-school diner feel into the 1500 sq.ft. space that previously housed RM 12:20 Bistro.   They have used the gold  theme in decorating the space with gold wallpaper, pictures of Goldie Hawn, the Golden Gate bridge  and on like that.  You enter into the smaller of the two rooms, with dark walls, red velvet booths along the side, a couple 2 person booths in the middle and the bar on the opposite side.  There is a doorway to the patio area that is covered and climate controlled, but visually it is a less striking room.   Music was in the background and as the room filled it could have been turned down to make conversation easier, even with a lowered ceiling and lots of sound absorptive surfaces.  We split a number of dishes which the server was happy to course out for us.  Service was attentive and helpful and the food was very good.  I may have to add this to our regular rotation for eating out.  Hope you’ll let me know what you think if you try it.
