Dined here during Jersey Shore Restaurant Week. Out of all the participating restaurants, The GOAT offered the best selections. The food was outstanding and the service was very good. I always enjoy dining at a restaurant where my friends and I can talk and actually hear each other. We truly enjoyed our dining experience and will definitely return.
