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."

    I got the apple fennel salad with grilled chicken and a side of fried goat cheese. Perfect combination but - better yet - not drenched in salad dressing. Lightly tossed to allow all those great flavors to stand out. My husband got the duck flat bread. Our server Geronimo was a treat. Funny, skilled and knowledgeable about the menu but discreet and stayed on top of the service. Well done Lazy Genius.

    We were in town for the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament and decided to try the Lazy Goat before the final game. We were not disappointed. The service, food and atmosphere were excellent! I would highly recommend this restaurant.

    We have heard a lot of great things about The Lazy Goat, so that may have played into our expectations of which I do not feel like they lived up to the hype. The fried goat balls were tasty but I have heard so much about how fantastic they were I don't think they held up to the praise. The Osso Bucco was done perfectly but the polenta was underwhelming. The Tagliatelle was plentiful if slightly under-seasoned. The one thing that did hold up to the praise was the Sprouts. Make sure you don't sleep on those, but temper your expectations. It's a nice place with good food, but I just don't think it lives up to all of the hype. Location doesn't make everything alright.

    Hadn't been to the Goat for a few months. We really enjoyed the new tuna appetizer. Would definitely order that again. The food and service were top-notch for a busy Saturday night. The staff really went beyond the call of duty to accommodate my wife's food allergy.
