I dined at The Goat with my husband and another couple on a Saturday night during Restaurant Week. The restaurant has a really fun vibe that we all loved. They were very busy and also had a party going on upstairs. Our food was a little slow to arrive, which we were fine with. An app that two of our party ordered wasn't available anymore, but they both liked their next choices. All of the food was delicious. The only issue I had was some grizzle in my flank steak. There was plenty of beef to eat though, I took half home, and it was yummy. We will definitely go back! Our server was Amanda and she was very attentive and helpful. We loved her.

Dined here during Jersey Shore Restaurant Week. Out of all the participating restaurants, The GOAT offered the best selections. The food was outstanding and the service was very good. I always enjoy dining at a restaurant where my friends and I can talk and actually hear each other. We truly enjoyed our dining experience and will definitely return.

The restaurant is very nice, well designed. We enjoyed the food and it was all excellent. I had bolognese, my wife had pasta with calamari, shrimp and my young son had marguerite pizza. and side of fries. Our calamari appetizer was very good- not oily but it was moderate size. The service was professional. This is a good place for special occasions but the price adds up even without alcohol or desserts. I'm glad we tried it and we will be back.

Even though the restaurant was nearly empty, they were out of several items. The menu is limited as it is so this made for a disappointing night. Hopefully, it is not a trend as this hasn’t been our experience in the past.
