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."

    We tried appetizers and main entrées paired with wine picked by the sommelier, which paired well with the food and our food 👏. The food was excellent especially considering that all of our dishes were gluten free. We will be back.

    A perfect dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Sat outside with a nice view of the Reedy. Started with a Mellow Manhattan which was more like an Old Fashion - amazing cocktail. Good started with goat cheese balls and brussel sprouts - could have just munched on a bucket or two of those. The vanilla, honey and pistachio nuts with the goat cheese was off the charts - use a spoon to scoop out all the gooey stuff onto the cheese balls. Incredible flavor. I loved the sprouts done with the bacon and sweet onions. Homemade ravioli with sausage wasn’t anything like grandma’s but wow - what flavors in that dish. Ended with the chocolate cake. Fabulous service - thank you for such a great evening!

    Fantastic location and food for our night in downtown Greenville. Staff was very kind and helpful, our family really enjoyed the experience and everything we ate. Favorites were the brussel sprouts (we ordered a second helping!) and the paella and catfish!

Our server, Henry, was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. The ambience on the outdoor patio so nice and peaceful. It was a perfect dinner and I’ll definitely be back!

    The view of the river and the service are excellent. However, the quality of food is only mediocre. I got the paella, and my husband got the steak. We also got the fried goat cheese for appetizer. All were just ok. For the pricing, I would expect higher calibur of cooking. If I went back just for the view/ambiance, I would just get the cheaper flatbread and call it a day.

    Was disappointed that they had a family style Mothers Day Menu only. Only thing from there regular menu was the Brussels sprouts which were really good. But rest of menu was disappointing, with exception of salmon and berry salad which were tasty. We had scheduled reservation for Mothers Day a month in advance not thinking the regular menu would not be offered. Will definitely check next time.

    We had the most wonderful Mother’s Day experience with the family style menu. The food was outstanding and the service was exceptional. The convenience of having a set family style menu was perfect. Everyone at the table got to try every dish, and we mothers were not forced to make one decision. A truly perfect dining experience we look forward to repeating again!
