We had the pleasure of being served by Erica who couldn’t have been a better server. Her knowledge, attentiveness and caring for our experience was second to none. The food was delicious from the Tartar to the Halibut and the baked clams to the peppermint chocolate cake, there was not a morsel left on any of our plates. Thank you Erica!!

We were looking for a great midway location and I was thrilled to find The GOAT! We could enjoy a fabulous meal and hear each other talk. 2 of our party are hearing challenged so this was very much appreciated. The bruschetta appetizer was perfect, house wine delicious and all our entree choices and dessert were fabulous.

We went for Thanksgiving dinner. Disappointed that it was 'deli' turkey, and not carved off the bird. Also disappointed with the little dollop of whipped cream on the pumpkin pie. The sides were delicious, especially the mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed the seasonal drink - Midnight Harvest. Our server Matt was the best.
