- DDEEVIPPhiladelphia County •62 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe were initially served wedges of pita brad and dipping sauce - we could have eaten a pound of these! We had the saganaki flaming cheese appetizer, which is wonderful-the taste is smooth melted cheese with a hint of Sambuca. My main course was the salmon fish, with thinly sliced fries that have absorbed sauce that blends old world flavor that also enhances the flavor of the broccoli rob. For desert I had the Baklava. It was moist with a nice proportion of honey. This was our 3rd time there.More infoMyrtos RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Greek • Downingtown•4.6
- JJohnPhiladelphia County •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoBryon Sikora does once again at The Noble Goat! We sat at high top tables and they were a perfect place to dine and watch the entire restaurant and kitchen. So glad this neighborhood gem is on our hood. It’s BYOB for now until the new liquor license arrives. So bring your own and enjoy. Service and staff were deluxe and always fun to see Bryon and chat.More infoNoble GoatPrice: Expensive• American• Downingtown•4.6
