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.

    We enjoy weekly Date Nights and The Lazy Goat is one of our top Greenville favorites. The patio dining is most enjoyable for the Reedy River views and people watching. The menu is wide ranging and well priced. However, the real attraction is the manager, Erica Painter, who is the best in Greenville! She manages a great staff and always finds time to visit with guests.

    Good food and good service. While not cheap, it is a good value compared to some of the nice restaurants along the river.

    My wife’s food came out cold when it was supposed to be hot. They took it back and must have microwaved it as it was ruined when it came back but the general manager came out, profusely apologized, took it off the bill and gave us a free dessert. They were lovely people and we would go back.

    View wasn't that great. Unless you like looking at brick buildings. Food was ok, my wife's Delmonico Steak was a little chewy & grisly, she said. They gave us 2 macaroons for dessert for our 51st wedding anniversary. Devon was nice as our server. Answering our questions. Over all we enjoyed out anniversary at Hall's Chophouse last year much better.
