62 years of loyal customers can't be wrong. We are grateful to all of our customers, employees, and critics (...though we may not always agree!). The only way to find out the truth is with a visit. Oft imitated, never duplicated. Thank you in advance.

    First time to the Wild Goat Bistro - recommended by a local shop when I asked where to bring my vegan daughter for a birthday lunch. Perfect recommendation, not stuffy but cozy, great food & wine - and lots of vegan options! She enjoyed the Shepherd's pie and we shared a beet salad and Mud Pie cheesecake (v). Yum!

    Nice patio dining! You can’t tell that 116 is on the other side if the vine covered fence. We had ahi tacos, cauliflower tacos, arugula salad with salmon and a Pub burger. Pub burger was huge and grilled to perfection. Ahi tacos were tasty but small portion which was ok since I shared mine with the person who ordered cauliflower tacos-also very good and decently seasoned. The Parmesan truffle fries were to die for and plenty to share for a table of 4 The salad and salmon looked tasty and our dining partner loved it Will be back
