About the restaurant

The Lazy Goat is a Mediterranean-themed restaurant with a menu featuring global influences from Spain, Morocco, Italy, France, Greece, Africa and the Middle East in a relaxed atmosphere where taking the time to "linger and share" is encouraged.

The diverse menu was created to accommodate a variety of diner preferences with meat & cheese plates, small plates to “graze and nibble,” and main dishes.

Guests are invited to take their time while "trying a little bit of this and a little bit of that" or a "whole lot of whatever they like."

This was my first trip to Greenville, SC. I was looking for a restaurant since I would only be there for Saturday night. Well, I did some research, and the Lazy Goat had some positive reviews. So I decided to check it out and I was not disappointed. My next trip will include another visit to the Lazy Goat. If you like Brussels sprouts, these are amongst the "Best" I have ever devoured and devoured them I did!

We were seating promptly on the patio as requested. Our server Leah was wonderful. very attentive and friendly. My wife slipped on a pineapple Mojito, enjoying the breeze and the view while we waited for our food. She started with the summer salad, which was refreshing and delicious. I ordered the 8 ounce fillet. It was so tender. You could almost pull it apart without a knife. The flavor was delicious. My wife had the Chilean Seabass and she said it was the best piece of fish she had ever eaten. The flavors were perfect. The risotto was creamy and full of flavor. We found this place by accident, but will make sure it is in our regular rotation. The sunsets are beautiful and the golf course makes it super quiet outside and very peaceful.
