" I had mixed feelings after dining at The Smoking Goat. While the ambiance was enjoyable and the waitstaff accommodating, the flavors seemed a bit muted compared to other French restaurants I’ve visited. The tartare was good, but not the best I’ve ever had. I'm hopeful this was just an off night. I might give it another shot down the line. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about The Smoking Goat, I finally made a visit and it did not disappoint! The highlights for me were the baked brie and the perfectly cooked steak. I even felt my taste buds dancing with joy on the first bite! However, the bathroom could use some attention to match the elegance of the dining area. Still, it’s a place I’d happily return to for another culinary adventure. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about The Smoking Goat, I had some high expectations! I was IN LOVE with the duck fat truffle fries! My peach salad was spectacular as well. However, I found the steak to be slightly overcooked for my taste. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd consider returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at The Smoking Goat was a delightful experience! The escargot was wonderfully prepared, and my duck was divine! The perfect amount of seasoning with a beautifully crispy skin. I do wish that the prices were slightly more reasonable, given the portion sizes, but the flavors are there. I appreciate the attention to detail here. " (*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*)
