    Stopped by the check out roaming goat brunch! We tried two different shakshukas and I feel like they are the go to order for brunch. They had some other smaller dish selections but I felt like they might be better for later in the day. The service was great and the space is intimate.

    Nice moody interior and outdoor seating as well! Love the tapas style but portions are small as expected - halloumi: delicious truffle honey went perfectly with the grilled cheese - falafel: this was a bit dry, barely any sauce to help it. Needed to be atop a bed of hummus - beef kebab: very tender and seasoned well! Enjoyed the pickled onions accompaniment

    Burrata Salad
    Matt J.

    While the food at Roaming Goat is satisfactory, the prices keep it from being a repeater. Admittedly, the cost is symptomatic of an endemic of shared plates that are priced the same as mains, but given that all of Roaming Goat's menu items are shared plates, it is near impossible to get a full meal there without racking up a serious tab. Even the so-called "Medium" dishes are barely enough for more than a couple people to get a bite. Both my Burrata Salad and Brussels Sprouts were solid, but $30 for a meager amount of food is a non-starter. Both items were nicely composed but did nothing beyond the standard presentation of their main ingredients (with the exception of pistachios being a strong sidekick to the Burrata); salty Brussels and creamy cheese are tough to mess up. The restaurant has a jovial atmosphere, but unless you take serious advantage of the Happy Hour or have a deep-seated interest in Armenian wines, there is more interesting food nearby for a fraction of the cost.

    I would expect a dive bar from the name but it's a nice Greek restaurant. We came here for dinner on a weekend and were able to get seated right away. They have outdoor seating which is more vibrant, and indoor seating which is very dimly-lit with a romantic/quiet vibe. There was a taro reader on site that evening (for a cost). They have happy hour options before 5 PM - I enjoyed the wine recommendation that I was given by the waiter. For the appetizers we got the Trio Spread- we were happy that we got the trio since we normally would just order hummus and labneh, but the Mahammara (bell pepper based) dip was our favorite- very tasty and flavorful. Also loved that they had Haloumi cheese on the menu which is a lightly grilled cheese that is sprinkled with honey. For entrees we had the chicken kebab and the Octopus. I love my octopus with a ton of tentacles showing, which this one did have. The grain called fregola that it came on top of was delicious, lightly doughy like gnocchi.

    Fried Brussels

    Really wanted to like this spot as I love Mediterranean food. There were two other tables being served and my order of buratta and Brussels took almost half an hour. The buratta was supposed to be on a bed of arugula but it was merely a garnish. The Brussels were tasty but very greasy. It was really cold out but the waiter wouldn't close the door as he said otherwise it looked like they were closed. I was also surprised that I was not offered pita or chips. Hope it's better next time.

    Chicken Kebab Wrap
    Reema T.

    Went here for restaurant week and loved the food and the restaurant week deal. We ended up getting a little assortment of things including the stuffed dates, olives, falafel, and fries with the harissa sauce for the appetizer. For the main we got the chicken wrap and for the dessert the walnut baklava! The appetizer assortment was tasty. I loved the harissa sauce and was obsessed with the crisp on the fries. The falafel was also nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The chicken in the chicken wrap was well seasoned and juicy. The salad that came with the wrap was filled with pickled onions and peppers which I loved!! The baklava was tasty however it was like any other baklava I've had. I did really like the whipped cream they put on top though. Our food did take a while to come out and if I was hungrier I probably would have been annoyed however I wasn't so it was fine. The restaurant itself is very cute and small with adequate indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating is a bit dark so if you're going for a brunch on a nice day, I'd advise sitting outside.

    Last Thursday I came with my husband and our little one (2 years old) around 5pm to enjoy some food. We decided to stay outside (the weather was kind of nice) and they served us right away. The lady who served us was very nice with us and our daughter. Speaking of food we ordered: dates, halloumi cheese, falafel and the chicken skewer for our daughter. Overall the food was just ok for us, nothing really outstanding. Dates were good but I suggest to put less goat cheese and for the chicken it was a little bit dry. Maybe the falafels were my favorite. We also had some wine too.

    What a lovely find! I was in a search of a happy hour in the area and stumbled upon roaming goat. I was looking for something that had a good happy hour menu, drinks, and was dog friendly - and this place had it all. We sat outside and got several appetizers such as their trio plate, which is a must get! Their dips were so flavorful and came with a good amount of pita. I also really enjoyed the kefta meatballs, which has been my hyper fixation lately. The service was also really sweet and friendly, they gave my dog a water bowl and made sure that we were taken care of . I also really enjoyed their spritz on the happy hour item and will definitely come back just for that. We went on a really pretty day and their outdoor seating was well spaced out and not too busy. I hope to come back one day and try their indoor seating because it looked nice for an intimate date spot.

    finally tried after waiting so so long and tbh... it was okay. good but not anything great. except the fries. SO well seasoned.

    Happy Hour!

    This place has an excellent happy hour with beautiful wines and delicious bites. Outdoor sidewalk and parklet seating is the move but the interior is nice and cozy as well. Crispy falafel, seasoned fries, fresh dips, and the amazing stuffed dates all paired with a great selection of wine. We did try the lamb skewer that was not on the happy hour menu and it was the most disappointing bite out of everything we tried. However, the happy hour selection more than makes up for it! Also, service is really attentive and wonderful! They made sure we were satisfied and we enjoyed our time here so much that we got another glass of wine to stay for awhile longer.

    Came here for wine night and tried some of their small bites as well. Cozy, nice atmosphere with friendly service! Definitely get the dip trio!! We also loved the burrata salad, skewers, falafel, and potato wedges. Great food & obviously lots of good wine options too, our waiter was nice and gave recommendations. Would be a cute date spot or nice place to catch up with friends! Highly recommend!

    Labneh, olives, basturmah

    We had a great date night at Roaming Goat! The concept of Roaming Goat is nice - somewhere between casual and fine dining with a wine bar. A bit disappointed by the wines, if we're being honest - enjoyed 50% of the 4 types we tried. The starters were fine, probably a 3/5 but what saved them was the medium/main plates which were 5/5! We loved the angus filet kebab and brussel sprouts, which both felt unique and well made with varied flavor profiles. Service was excellent. It was quite expensive for tapas and wine so expect to spend quite a bit!

    After attending the SF Rare Book show at Ft Mason, this place was a short trip away. This place has a selection of small and medium plates. As a pescatarian, there were few medium plates available for me, but The Wife and I ordered several others, which proved more than enough. Falafel was very good, with a kick that built up. The herbed cucumber salad was tasty and subtle, could have used even more herbs. The trio of dips with soft fluffy pita were excellent, and the brussel sprouts were eaten very quickly. The atmosphere was pretentious, but ina friendly was. The wine list was interesting, and I got an explanation of Georian wines from our server, but ultimately got some Italian varietals instead. The list was fairly pricey per glass, but I'm sure they were all high quality. Dessert was fairly plain, uninspired baklava (which needed a steak knife) and chocolate ice cream.

    The service at this place is absolutely terrible and it's overpriced. The food is pretty good. Get the trio of dips

    We believe in second chances. And by we I mean me, my friends, and Tom…read more We showed up last night and immediately the atmosphere was different. Every single table was full and bustling. The people were laughing, the drinks were flowing. It smelled really good, which we would later find out was from the food especially that Mac and cheese. We started off with different wines, some that Tom recommended based on what we told him we didn't like or did like. He apologized for our previous experience and was genuinely a nice guy. Honestly it's very admirable for a business owner to take feedback to heart and want to incorporate it. Plus he's a really cool guy when you get to know him. The staff was busy running around but still made time to come check on us. Our final verdict is we came on a bad day. This time we got the actual Waystone experience. We finally got to try the chicken bites with a creamy aioli, fries with yogurt sauce, and the star of the show was the Mac and cheese. Tik tok did live up to the hype and we will have to come back for one of their jazz nights. Be warned this place gets busy! But it's worth it.

    Waystone is technically a wine bar, but spiritually it's a community living room disguised as a…read morejazz lounge with snacks. Yes, the wine is excellent..(not selling you 'natural' actively fermenting bottles) thoughtfully curated... the cab franc , interesting without being pretentious. Yes, the bites hit (shoutout to the watermelon salad). But what really makes Waystone magic is the people. Everyone who works here is warm, funny, and present in a way that makes you feel like you belong, whether it's your first visit or your 50th. Live jazz nights here are their own kind of therapy. I once saw a harpist who made me feel like I was floating inside the music. No cover, no pressure, just ridiculously good musicians making the whole place glow. One thing I love: the rotating local art. The walls change every so often as new artists take over, and it completely shifts the energy of the space. You might not love every piece, but that's kind of the point--it's alive, it's personal, and it's supporting real artists in SF. And if you do love something, you can take it home (yep, everything's for sale). Whether you're here for the jazz, the wine, the art, or the people.. waystone shows up with soul. I'd give it six stars if I could.
