Wild Goat Bistro was suplerative in every way. It was easy to get a reservation, the music was appropriate and at a low level, the staff were great, and, most of all, the food was fantastic and distinctive. They provide entrees (like Quinoa Sweet Potato Cakes) and appetizers (like Finger-licking-good roasted potatoes) that are unlike any other restaurant anywhere I have been. Fantastic!

3 or 4 times a year we make the 3 hour drive to get there and back ... always worth it. Chef Manuel always surprises us with something new and exceptional. Last night it was the cucumber gazpacho. The heirloom tomato salad was a total surprise. We did not expect such outstanding tomatos this time of year. The barramundi filets sat on top of a roasted sweet corn/bitter greens combination that was amazing. Dessert trios are small enough to give you a light finish to the meal but big enough to share. As usual the service was perfect.
