    This was our first time dining at The Lazy GOAT. You all get a 10+ for your dedication to making this the best birthday #75th lunch for Vic. We had a perfect welcome with a smile and positive reception from your hostess. She delivered my request to sit outside so we could see the River. It was a perfect day watching the geese swim by. Getanamo, our server, was incredible. He smiled, had a great personality and knew his food and beverage. He was attentive, made sure we had plenty of your delicious Mountain water to drink made great suggestions. The Beautiful, outdoor patio, made our lunch so relaxing after a 3.5 hour drive. We ordered 4 appetizers and enjoyed the delicious and perfectly prepared Brussel sprouts, Lamb, Feta Cheese soufflé w/crispy chips, Truffle Fries which were delicious, thin and perfectly cooked to a crisp, and The special Entree of Puttanesca perfectly flavored with an choice, capers, Roma tomatoes, garlic and black olives. The staff Surprised Vic singing Hapoy Birthday w/a personalized Cocolate coffee soufflé on a slate written Happy 75th Birthday Vic. Our server, Geramamo, gets a 12 out of 10. Thank you all for making my hubbies birthday so special. We’ll See you again.

    This place exceeded or expectations in every way! We started off with the Moroccan lamb appetizer. I'm not a huge fan of lamb but this was so good! We had the burrata salad with strawberries which was lovely and finished it off with the Za’atar Crusted Ahi Tuna which was a show stopper. We were here for lunch, and we definitely will be back!

    The lazy goat was an awesome experience. Our server Devon was fantastic and very friendly. The fried goat cheese balls were incredible and the brussels sprouts were some of the best I’ve ever had. All of their food was fantastic. The views were great great location.

    Wait staff were wonderful. Shrimp appetizer was amazing. The Delmonico steak had a very nice taste but was so gristly and tough that it made cutting and eating it almost impossible. The pasta was just that. It much flavor. I will go back but just do several small plates and share or maybe get 2 orders of the shrimp!
