    On this Saturday night the noise level was so high as to preclude normal conversation. The bar and dining room share one large space. This is not the place for anyone looking for a quiet dinner. The prices for entrees are high. We ordered three appetizers. The fig and Brie flatbread was a winner. The Goose fries and Brussel sprouts came out (barely) lukewarm. On the positive side service was excellent, very attentive. Good for those looking for a lively bar scene.

    We lunch three days in a row at your restaurant. We love your place. The food and vibe are amazing! Today, however, we felt your servers were less than enthusiastic. A noticeable difference in this team.

    Overwhelmed restaurant - they forgot part of our order, undercooked another, and took forever to come.

    We ate outside, which was very nice. We could watch the world go by on Main Street on a beautiful day. Our food was excellent.

    Our server was great. Food was very good. Disappointed to see that we were charged extra for ordering a martini 'up'. Why? No one could explain this. We've been here for several days and have never encountered this before.

    Hi Barbara, we're very glad you enjoyed the service and the food. We will absolutely look into our computer system to see if something has been incorrectly entered. Thank you again and we hope you will consider joining us again in the future.

    After reading the reviews, we were up for trying the Wild Goose Tavern. Overly priced, description misleading (wrong pasta), and likely frozen, bland lobster. Maybe ate half. Then waited for the check. Until another server saw us sitting there and took it for us. Look for another dining experience.
    Wild Goose TavernResponded on October 3, 2024
    Hi Cheryl, we're so sorry that you did not enjoy your experience with us. We take feedback seriously and we most definitely bring these comments up to our management team. Again, we do apologize but we hope you will consider giving us another chance again in the future.
