    The menu selection and variety tremendous. Best lobster roll and wedge salad I’ve ever had, beautifully prepared and the chef did not cut back on the serving size to cut corners unlike most restaurants. Well with the price which is not inexpensive. Much better than I ever remembered the Gage being in prior years, to bad we have to leave town and could not go again. But we will be back. Our server, Crystal G was over the top in her help selecting choices and in her attentiveness . A wonderful luncheon spot for sure and I’ve been to the best of the best around the world.

    The Girl and the Goat always exceeds expectations, even when my expectations are sky high! Thank you! We had the Pig Face, String Beans, Goat Belly, and Steak. The dishes all exploded with flavors. The balance of seasonings, use of citrus, vinegar and other elements of the dishes played well and makes the culinary experience here amazing. The cocktails were yummy as well. The Peach-Te-quilla was light and refreshing. The Spicy Fat Boy had a ton of flavor. To finish the night, we had the Toffee Pumpkin cake and a neat pour of the Pappy Family Reserve. The Pappy was a treat and made a great night even more special! Thanks to Stephanie and all the team at the Goat. You are all AMAZING!

    Always fantastic experience! I visit Andy’s whenever I am in town (I live in a different state). This time, I came with my family and we all had a wonderful time! Foods were excellent as well although I feel the portion has been smaller compared to the last visit, which is not a big deal for me.

    Food was excellent. Service seemed a little slow to get started - had to ask to have a waitress stop to take drink orders after she'd walked by several times - and and slightly less attentive than desired but was friendly, helpful, and got the job done.
