Had reservations here on a Friday night for an anniversary dinner. We were seated in a quiet corner. Although they became quite busy and all the tables filled quickly, I noticed they did not seat anyone at the two tables next to us until towards the end of our meal. I’m not sure if it was intentional or not but that made our time there very romantic since we were seated away from other groups. Our server Allan was amazing! He explained the menu, had recommendations, and was very attentive. The food was also fantastic and came out quickly. Every dish was perfectly cooked. Very good wine too! We will definitely be back.

WOW! From the food to the service I can’t recommend it enough. We walked in without a reservation and the whole staff was extremely attentive and accommodating. The food was delicious, from appetizers, to mains and dessert. Our server Ryan was exceptional in every sense of the word, and everyone we interacted with from a staff had the best attitude. 10/10 recommend and will definitely be back.

Typically a salmon and veggies girl, tonight I went out of my zone and ordered the steak frites. What a decadent pleasure! Perfectly grilled steak to exactly my specifications, and there is very little bad that you can say about french fries fried in duck fat topped with truffle oil. Ladies and gentlemen, this one did not disappoint! Husband had the banana dessert which was incredibly flavorful and smoky like a campfire. Wonderful and fun flavor. I got the goat cheese cheesecake…. Not too sweet. Perfect with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Ambience is as decadent as the meal. Service was impeccable and knowledgeable. Absolutely totally looking forward to our return trip.

This is our third time here in the past 3 months, so you could say we're fans! The staff is pleasant and attentive, the food is delicious. Good, generous portion sizes on the entrees and my goodness, the desserts are divine! We strongly recommend: the baked brie and the tartare for an appetizer; the pork chop, the NY strip, the duck, and really any of the specials for an entree; the creme brulee and the banana bread fosters for dessert! Ambiance is close seating, covered patio, and bar top. If you get there early in the evening, dress warm in winter as it can be chilly. Later in the evening, as it fills up, it gets warmer though. For fine dining, this will be in our rotation for the foreseeable future!

Stopped by on a Saturday evening for appetizers and drinks with my husband. We enjoyed the Crispy Spanish Octopus, Cauliflower, and a decadent Goat Cheese Cheesecake. Drinks were superb (I recommend the Vesper) and the atmosphere was intimate. This place is special!

I've been coming to the smoking goat for about 3 years. Honestly, it's been one of my top spots in north park. They usually have a special of the night and it's always Amazinggggg. I had the seafood pasta, and honestly it was best I've ever had. It had muscles, shrimp, swordfish and the best sauce you could imagine. It even was a Large portion as well. Top notch Highly highly recommend this place. I haven't had a bad entree there ever. Only wish they had a few more beer options

The food and atmosphere are on point . The best cheesecake I have ever had. Never thought it could be made with goat cheese. Incredible and a must try. The neighborhood is bouncing with pool across the street for after. Highly recommend this place. Went on a Wednesday. Whomever is the manager and servers were so sweet. I'll be back soon.

Absolutely beautiful meal. Every part start to Finnish. We had the baked Brie cheese and cauliflower appetizer. And each shared a different entree. The duck was cooked perfectly and the leak potatoes where to die for! Everything was beyond perfection and I can’t wait to come back! Food and service was more than expected.
