About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

Guests are invited to take their time while "trying a little bit of this and a little bit of that" or a "whole lot of whatever they like."

    As always, we received wonderful service (Henry) during our recent dinner at The Lazy Goat - food and wine were delicious and the atmosphere was warm and inviting (candle-lit tables on lower level of restaurant overlooking downtown). We greatly appreciated Henry's reminder that Thursday evenings are 50% off (all wine bottles) - we will definitely be back!

    We've dined here numerous times. This trip, we ran into traffic, so we were late for the reservation. I did call to let them know, and they said no problem, they'd hold our table. The meal was great, as usual. Appetizer was the moroccan lamb, which is always good, entrees were octopus patatas, and the beef coulotte. Both were also very good. Only two issues: our table was right off the patio, and we were up against a partition, where the panels kept blowing in the wind each time patio doors were opened. Not ideal. And, part way through our meal, we realized there was a service dog at the next table. Well behaved, tucked in the corner. I don't have a problem with that in general, but my allergies were acting up due to the type of dog it was. We didn't see that when we sat down, or would've asked for a different table. In future, customers should be made aware.
