My 2nd time here and it did not disappoint. The food was good as usual. We ordered the Bacon slab and the eggplant chips. 2 people at my table got the burger, which they loved and we also got a Pizza, Duck and the Spicy penna alla vodka - all good. For Dessert - the Ice cream sandwich is the best - and I recommend that! Our waiter had a training waiter with him, but both of them worked together seamlessly though the night - with no hiccups! We stayed beyond 10pm, but the folks working there were not pushy in shoving us out the door, which is always appreciated to feel welcomed! Thank you Goat Staff!

Went for brunch and the Hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict tasted sour. The potatoes were good but the Bellini was bitter. I don’t know why I keep giving this place another shot. The only thing I’ve ever had there that I liked was the burger. I like their trivia nights but the food for it really isn’t very good at all.

Order meatball appetizer. 2 meatballs the size of golf balls and they and the sauce was burnt. Spicy Penne Vodka wasn’t spicy and had very little flavor. My wife had shrimp and scallops and they were OK. I expected better! With the many many good restaurants in Monmouth County I likely won’t be back.

Everything was great except there should have been more staff working. It took a little longer than usual to get drinks and food.

It was our first time coming to this restaurant. We had a good time, food was in good portion (we girls don’t eat large) so for me it was perfect. Nice ambiance. Will be going again glad we tried it!
