" Such a lovely spot for a dinner date! The intimate atmosphere at The Smoking Goat made our evening feel magical. I indulged in the scallops, and they were downright delicious. The flavors melded perfectly, leaving a lasting impression. My partner opted for the pork chop and relished every bite. The only thing I’d consider changing is the noise level, which was a bit bustling for our liking. Overall, a fantastic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

My notes of the night were the delightful pasta and rich desserts, all served at a lovely pace. Would highly recommend to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Smoking Goat is an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance swept us off our feet. We started with the duck liver pâté, which was rich and creamy. For our mains, the duck was cooked to perfection. I genuinely felt transported back to France! The service was smoother than I expected for such a busy weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit here and was somewhat disappointed, unfortunately. The potato gratin tasted overly salted and was not balanced well with the duck I had. My server was insightful and friendly, but overall, I don’t think I’d return based on what I ordered tonight. I wish I had chosen differently! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is amazing! The ambiance was cozy, perfect for a romantic dinner. I had the French onion soup which was divine. The duck was paired perfectly with the sautéed vegetables. The service was attentive, but I found the prices a bit steep. Overall, a memorable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Smoking Goat surpasses expectations! Each dish was beautifully plated and exquisite in taste. My personal favorite had to be the duck. The flavors harmonized perfectly, paired also with an array of exceptional sides. We ended with the goat cheese cheesecake, which was a unique twist and pleasantly light. Overall, a fantastic experience. " (*Curated Review*)
