   The pizza was great, but that was about it. I had the cavatappi and shrimp, and there were just a few pieces of cut-up shrimp in the dish. I was expecting a few nice size shrimp, not what I got at all. We have been to Orchard Park several times, so I was expecting a similar experience, but it wasn't even close. My son ordered a special, the black cod. He said it was mushy, and the sauce wasn't enjoyable. My dad had another special, the pork chop, which he said was very good. We won't return to The Goat. It wasn't worth the drive for us. But if you live local, its worth getting a pizza to go.

   Food was good. Service not so good. Like many establishments, starts off good and then as restaurant gets more crowded, service lacks.

   We have now visited the Goat at Union Beach 3 times in last month. First time it was great, second tine service was so-so. Last night we visited again and the service provided by Alexis was great and always highlighted with a smile. The food great, Spent 2 hours flawlessly. Hoping future visits mimic last nights experience.

   Terrific menu and food quality and cocktails , service needs upgrading, no one to greet at front door for 10 mins despite having reservation and server seemed brand new .. needs more training but was trying

   The last time there, exceptional service by Connors. Yesterday, horrible. 40 minutes to get one appetizer on table, everyone’s food came out at different times. The pizza’s had been done but probably left under heating lamp - not crunchy at all. Had to ask for water several times before the glasses were refilled. The man at the door does not offer a smile when greeting folks. I had made reserve for next Friday BUT most likely will cancel. Very disappointed….
