    Delicious food with great service in a perfect location The fried goat cheese is a must try. Brussels sprouts were so yummy and the lamb was also delicious. We tried the octopus and duck flatbread, all were perfect and paired so nice with a delicious Greek wine. Highly recommend and we will be back!

    I am Vegan and was able to find a delicious and nutritious entree. (My companion that day had a prime roast sandwich that she was very pleased with.) We sat near the windows, and watching the activity along the riverway was very cool. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. I'm a new subscriber to the Peace Center Broadway series, so I and various companions will be going to Greenville regularly for the Saturday matinees. Lazy Goat is convenient to the Center and will probably be my choice each time I go.

    First time dinning out on Thanksgiving in many years. Food was very very good, served family style, exceeded our expectations with the dishes offered. They seemed to have adequate staff to handle this busy day. Even though they were very busy, we were seated on time and service was very good. We weren't rushed and were able to enjoy our meal and were done in time to make our reservations for the Wiz at the Peace Center. A big thanks to a well rung restaurant.

    Great food and very attentive staff. A bit loud on a Saturday evening, was very hard to hear any sort of conversation without shouting. But on week knights its much more quiet and the food is consistently good.

    We live in Charlotte and love to stay in Downtown Greenville when we come visit friends and family. And one of the best parts has always been Lazy Goat. Unfortunately, this time was a far different experience. There was only one person who came to our table more than once, and otherwise it seems we were served by whoever could fit us in around their other tables. Service was horrendous! Food was fine, not great. But it probably wouldn’t have mattered when the service had already been so terrible. We didn’t even have silverware when our meals came. I hope this was a fluke… I guess we’ll be trying something else next time we’re in town.

    We had a wonderful experience celebrating my husbands birthday. The food was wonderful as always. Our waiter was so attentive and polite and the restaurant even gave us each a glass of bubbly to celebrate and a free dessert. I highly recommend going to the Lazy Goat for any special occasion or just because.

    I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful Veterans Day meal provided to me for free. My group also appreciated the 35% off. The truth is we are here for her five times a year and it is wonderful. From the wine, the tasty salad, the amazing entrées, and the dessert it was terrific. Thank you again for a wonderful Veterans Day meal. Will be back!!!

    We were able to enjoy a lovely Veteran’s Day dinner at the Lazy Goat! Our menu choices were steak and pasta with andouille sausages plus shrimp. Both entrees arrived presented beautifully and we enjoyed them. My veteran partner has a mobility issue so I was able to drop him off at the front door while I parked the car in the convenient garage. I failed to mention when making the reservation that walking is difficult for him and we were seated downstairs which involved some maneuvering. If that aspect could be approved those of us who need assistance with a person who uses a walker or cane would be very grateful.

    By far the most outstanding dining experience we’ve had so far. Our server, Henry was fantastic! He took really good care of us and made sure we had an enjoyable anniversary night. He was very detailed in presenting the menu and was able to answer all our questions. Food was phenomenal! The brussel sprouts and the goat cheese balls were delicious! My husband doesn’t eat goat cheese but this time he did and loved it. We liked the paella too! It had very good mix of spices. We’re definitely coming back to try other items next time. Overall, we had an awesome experience. Highly recommended!
