    Bar Goa was busy Christmas night but short staffed. We felt a little ignored while others who entered after us got their orders taken before us. One waiter said, "sorry we're busy tonight" and kept going. Finally our waitress came. She was very nice and helpful in decided the spice level of my mushroom fried rice. The food service was a little slow too. But! The food was delicious. We ordered the sampler appetizer, fish curry and mushroom fried rice. Very satisfied with the food! We were happy the manager came to check on us and apologize for the slow service. It made our experience much better. The ambiance is cozy, good Christmas music and the decor is culturally eclectic.

    We loved our experience at Bar Goa! The butter chicken and drinks were amazing, and we were really grateful for all the clearly marked gluten free options.

    The food and drinks were delicious. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere was casual and fun. The only negative was the price for a side of rice. That seemed high for a small bowl that typically comes with the meal. But overall it was a great dining experience.
