    Atwater’s consistently provides an exemplary dining experience: exquisite food (duck and ahi tuna), customer service (Rose is outstanding), and inspiring ambiance. It has been our go to restaurant since 1993.

    We ordered the Thanksgiving special. Was slightly disappointed with the turkey it was more of a processed turkey not a turkey breast. The side dishes were delicious, the spiced bread pudding dessert was fabulous and the cocktails were spot on. The staff was as usual very attentive.

    The Girl and the Goat always exceeds expectations, even when my expectations are sky high! Thank you! We had the Pig Face, String Beans, Goat Belly, and Steak. The dishes all exploded with flavors. The balance of seasonings, use of citrus, vinegar and other elements of the dishes played well and makes the culinary experience here amazing. The cocktails were yummy as well. The Peach-Te-quilla was light and refreshing. The Spicy Fat Boy had a ton of flavor. To finish the night, we had the Toffee Pumpkin cake and a neat pour of the Pappy Family Reserve. The Pappy was a treat and made a great night even more special! Thanks to Stephanie and all the team at the Goat. You are all AMAZING!
