   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.

   I was really impressed! First of all, the bartender, Anthony, was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and my friend and I were asking for “custom” items and he never made a face or complained or acted inconvenienced. The drinks he made were spectacular. Second, the food was really good. We had the tuna tartar tacos which were amazing. They were a o light and the fish was super fresh. Then we had a pepperoni pizza and the eggplant chips with whipped ricotta. The ricotta was next level. So creamy and seasoned perfectly. The eggplant chips were something different and so good! The pepperoni pizza was cooked just right so the crust was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside and it wasn’t too topping heavy. All in all, we had a great night out and enjoyed delicious food. We will be going back!

   First visit, with high expectations. Our salmon avocado toast appetizers were spectacular, but not included on the 2-course Prix Fixe brunch, which had no exciting choices--I am not expecting pizzas and cheeseburgers on a renowned chef's menu. Steak ordered rare, specifically hot and red, arrived warm and only partly pink, more like medium, and it was not as tender as hanger steak I've enjoyed from the food desert of southwest Ohio to Manhattan. Accompanying scrambled eggs were perfectly soft and pillowy but home fries were "meh". My companion's brioche French toast with strawberries, whipped cream, and maple syrup was good, but she declared "appetizers were better than entrées". Cappuccino was delicious. Service was good except server was not paying attention to water consumption and I had to hail the maître d' to get a glass refilled. The renovation was charming and informal, but the maintenance of this space seems careless: radiator at my feet had its cover wide open, lock on accessible ladies' toilet compartment was missing, the hole stuffed with toilet paper, with an auxiliary hook lock attached to the door. This is an upscale dining environment? Left wondering if David Burke ever supervises here or just slapped his name on the sign? Marquis chefs who attract foodies should know that patrons expect higher standards than The Goat demonstrated today.

   The decor was really cool! The food never disappoints at David’s restaurants. Our server Anthony was awesome and fun. We had a great Sunday girls brunch

   We sat about 7:30 and were promptly greeted by John. He was friendly and courteous. We ordered drinks and apps. The drinks arrived and the special Margherita was delicious, the experience hit it's high point and (for the most part) went down quickly from there. We ordered the calamari and shrimp and the beet salad. About a half hour later we were served. The calamari and shrimp might have had 1 small shrimp and it might have had a few friends walk by but not stay. The beet salad was good. Then the meals. We ordered the hamburger (medium), lasagna, bronzing, and the chicken parm. When these finally arrived about 45 minutes after the apps were cleared. As an aside, the table beet to us were seated before us and were served after us). First, the lasagna was warm to cool. The mozzarella was barely warm, not melty at all. The middle of the lasagna was cool. The sauce was also cool. Though the plate was hot. The hamburger, remember ordered medium, came out rare..very rare. This was brought to the waiter's attention who brought in the manager. It was taken away to be re-fired. Why not a fresh one? When it came back half was medium but the other half wasn't touched (the burger was cut in half to start). The fries that were brought out with the burger were also taken back. When the burger returned, the fries didn't. They arrived about 5 minutes later. The chicken parm was delivered about 3 minutes after the others. The chicken parm itself was hot and delicious. The sauce and pasta was lukewarm and lacked flavor. It needed the cheese. I did take half home. The desserts were the best part of the meal. The lobster tail pastry filled with cream and banana cream. The coconut cream pie was likewise delicious. When the bill came about a third was deducted. So that was very kind. We would have preferred to pay full price for an excellent meal. The staff was apologetic, so nothing bad only praise for them.

   I am a returning customer. The menu (and the specials) had a decent selection, food tasted great and service was excellent. We were unable to eat spicy food and it was quickly replaced with a non-spicy version. We tried the specials for our entrees and were not disappointed. Ordered too much food again, but we’re more than happy to have leftovers the next day! Thank you David Burke for another fine experience!
