   The food was excellent. The Filet Mignon special was awesome! The staff very attentive. As a repeating customer I again highly recommend The GOAT!

   The last time there, exceptional service by Connors. Yesterday, horrible. 40 minutes to get one appetizer on table, everyone’s food came out at different times. The pizza’s had been done but probably left under heating lamp - not crunchy at all. Had to ask for water several times before the glasses were refilled. The man at the door does not offer a smile when greeting folks. I had made reserve for next Friday BUT most likely will cancel. Very disappointed….

   y wife and I tried this spot for Valentine's Day. They had a Prefix Menu for $68++ per person, minus the drinks. Sounded like a good deal, right? Especially, since this restaurant is part of the David Burke group. It should be good. We started with our appetizers. My wife originally wanted the Lobster Bisque Soup. But they ran out of that. They only had Mushroom Bisque or some other cream soup as a replacement. So, I had the Mushroom Bisque Souphile, while she had the Beet and Buratta Salad. They were very good. When it came to the main courses, I had the Pork Osso Buccon with Risotto (in Tagalog, Pinasosyal na Patatim ). My wife ordered the Lobster Ravioli. While my portions were generous, hers were disappointing. Five small pieces. Hardly satisfying, especially for someone who skipped lunch and was looking forward to a hearty meal for dinner. You would think that because you were paying the same price, both meals would have good portions. It wasn't the case here. Luckily, my meal was large enough for me to share. But, our mood was already in the downhill. BTW, the browning of my dish was uneven. On One side, you have a nice dark brown color and it was slightly crispy. On the other side, it was pale and soggy. Desserts took longer to come out than our meal, which was very strange. The place wasn't fully packed. When they did arrive, they were a letdown. My Coconut Cream Pie was fine. Nothing too special. However, the sugars of my wife's creme brulee was burnt to the point where it made the whole dessert bitter. We brought it up to their attention. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They said they would replace it in two minutes. So, we waited. Unfortunately, the replacement was a failure, too. The top sugar was on point, but the actual custard was very runny. My wife just finished it as we wanted to leave right away. The manager apologized and gave us a free slice of key lime pie as a good gesture. If it weren't for the staff, this place would have g

   We ordered some of the extra starters and they never arrived. Most of us had salad for the starter course and it was good. The osso bucco pork was dry, ravioli was a bit underdone, on the salmon plate, half of the purée was cold. We had to ask several times for cutlery when food was in front of us. We have eaten a number of times at Orchard Park and enjoyed it very much. We didn’t feel The Goat was up to standard.

   I left a detailed review with mild feedback, and I just want to say the restaurant responded to me immediately. I therefore I am amending my review because of their great customer service. The food that we had was delicious and we will be back.
