   We can always count on a good experience at The Goat. Last night we enjoyed friendly and attentive service from both Anthony and Casey.

   Service was very slow and server was inattentive. There were several errors with our order, steak was overcooked, and the floor was dirty. Our cocktails arrived 10 min after our appetizer and we waited for over an hour for our dinner. Not worth the price.

   Bolognese & house salad were excellent! The restaurant depending where you are sat is a little tight. our waiter was great but the other staff was a little aloof, our pizza wasn’t sliced and instead of taking it back to the kitchen someone on the staff brought us a pizza slicer to do our selves lol. Once our waiter saw he ran it to the kitchen immediately. Overall we will be going back!!

   Food was average but the service was less than fair. Definitely not worth the price, I probably wouldn’t be back.

   It was pretty empty for a Saturday night but it was the day before Easter so that's understandable. Our server was great and the bar service was excellent. We had the tomato soup, curry mussels app, surf & turf (2 shrimp, not lobster tail) and the grouper special. Seems like the food quality has gone downhill since they first opened.. and it's REALLY, REALLY salty. There was some confusion when the server advised my meal comes with 3 shrimp but it's supposed to be 2.. they brought me a 3rd one which is commendable. Thank you!

   If you have a dish on the menu that's says Linguine and Seafood Fra Diavalo, that includes shrimp, mussels, calamari in a spicy red tomato sauce, you should not be using rock shrimp in a $35 entree. I've never had rock shrimp served to me in a high end restaurant for this dish. Then management tells me that's what they use. If that's the case, that's not acceptable, chef. I saw pictures of the same dish cooked here with large shrimp on the dish. We ordered what they called to be homemade foccacia bread. Not a chance, it was just pizza dough served in a pan.

   The Goat delivers on every level. The service is genuinely excellent—attentive without being overbearing. The food? Absolutely delicious, with every dish crafted to impress. And the atmosphere is just as enjoyable—welcoming, stylish, and perfect for a relaxed meal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dining experience.
