    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.

    Seated right away. It was decorated very nice for the holidays. Many choices on the menu to choose from. Our food was excellent including a side of meatballs that were sooooo good. I made an additional reservation while there to go between Christmas and New Years with additional family members to gather during the holidays. Looking forward to going back .

    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.
