Being a Lone Ranger here on island at Christmas, I decided to take myself out to dinner. I sat at the bar with my reservation and ordered a real nice Cabernet to go with my absolutely delicious chicken Parmesan and spaghetti. The service itself was great. 3 different servers consistently attended to me which was very pleasing. The dessert finished off very well with my wine as well. The ambiance was very holiday visitor vibe but the staff was hosting at a great level. Thank you for a great ending to my solo Christmas Formaggio’s!

We enjoy going to Goen for some really good food. The staff is always great and it has a great ambiance. It is a bit pricey, so get ready to spend a bit. But overall, very good!

Chef Terry is lovely and her food delicious. Only disappointment was with server taking so long to get our entree order we missed out on the chicken (which was ordered out of existence, though we were seated right at opening). He also forgot my husband’s drink order. Mocktails were tasty!

Our go to for brunch and dinner. Their brunch is absolutely amazing, we ordered one of each main item and couldn’t decide what we loved the most. Everything was so delicious, I’m still craving the Gouda grits and kalua pork hash! For dinner we always over order apps and salads since you can’t go wrong with their cheese board, the various dips (go straight for the dip trio you won’t be disappointed!) ceviche, and bravas. Beet salad and Caesar are amazing, followed by the oxtail and lamb. Don’t pass on the smores either, perfect ending to a great meal.
