    We sat in the tavern, which was decorated floor to ceiling in the most nostalgic Christmas decor. it honestly felt like stepping into a holiday movie. The espresso martini was actually really good (especially for a tavern), which pleasantly surprised me. Definitely one of the better ones I've had. We also ordered food and I got the Chicken Lil sandwich, which was really, really good. Perfect comfort food for a cozy night out. I'd highly recommend stopping by, especially during the holidays. Cute, cozy, quaint, and full of charm with great decor. This is such a fun spot to grab drinks and food when you're looking for festive vibes.

    We stopped to pregame for our date night with some dumplings and a drink. We sat on the patio before it got chilly out and it was so nice outside. The patio was packed, but our server still made time for us and made us feel special.

    Great beer selection and appetizers! Love the Christmas decor and ambiance with the lighting. Got the southwest eggrolls and a smash burger...and they were both delicious. Service was quick and friendly. My new go to place!

    We sat on the patio on a warm-ish early spring day. There are a lot of people out that day enjoying the weather and the tavern was busy. We were able to be seated right away in the outdoor patio. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We just ordered some appetizers, the Tots and the Southwest spring rolls. Both were delicious. We noticed some people brought their dogs in with them. Seemed like a popular place for locals.

    The Goat Tavern has had a checkered past in its brief history in Carmel on the Monon. Between all the political wrangling and bad early reviews, I didn't come here with great expectations. There were two noteworthy things to mention: "No Beer" ?!?!?!?: On the day we came (a Sunday afternoon), their entire beer delivery & keg system was down and non-functional. Because of this, they also had no bottled beer remaining, having apparently exhausted their canned and bottled brew selection the day before. A tavern or pub with no beer is the same as going to a water park that ran out of water. We considered getting up and leaving as soon as we heard this, wondering why they would even be open under those conditions, but we decided to stay for mixed drinks. The food was great: I don't usually get excited about bar food, but holy cow. My Patty Melt cheeseburger was nothing short of amazing. I don't want to get too emotional here, but in a area that's literally inundated with burger joints (and I've sampled them all), this may be the best I've had. It even rose to the level of being a crave-worth item, or something that I'll go out of my way to have again and again. Even my wife's boneless chicken wings were out-of-control juicy and flavorful. My conclusion: This place obviously still has some operational growing to do, and the loud, 'scream metal' playlist that was blaring over the speakers isn't exactly my style. But damn: The food is off-the-hook great. Service was also outstanding.

    The Goat is a very nice bar/restaurant in the heart of downtown Carmel. Our Indy Wine group came here to say goodbye to one of our members who was moving to Ft. Wayne. We met at the other venue called ScapeGoat which is a private room with a full bar and event space connected to The Goat. This was a very nice space with a nice bar and TV's all over the venue. It was very comfortable and I felt very relaxed. It turned out Thursday was $5 Danny Boy beer night,so I took advantage of it and had a couple beers, the Cinderella Man and Fist of Fury. The Cinderella Man is a grapefruit IPA and Fist of Fury is a hazy IPA. Both were refreshing and tasted excellent! The bartenders were very professional and offered good recommendations on the beer and cocktails. The Goat is a great place to hang out with friends over a beer and cocktails. The food looked very good as well. I did not order anything, but I did see the nachos and they looked terrific. All in all, I enjoyed the Goat and would definitely come back here again to hang out and socialize with friends. It is a great venue in the heart of Carmel.

    The GOAT is by far my favorite bar to visit in Carmel. Their staff are some of the kindest, attentive people around. I always feel welcomed when I stop by. The food is great! I'm a fan of their smash burgers, but everything I've ever tried has been solid. I had the potstickers today and will definitely be ordering them again. Whether I'm stopping in for lunch, grabbing a beer during Happy Hour, or meeting up with friends, the vibe at The GOAT is top notch.

    Decent atmosphere but the beer selection is poor, unless you only drink IPA's. If you want something other than an IPA you're out of luck.

    Good food overall. Seemingly random operating hours and closures. We stopped in for an easy…read moredinner knowing they close "early" by 7pm. But they weren't even open at 5 pm. No signs up either. Just a locked up door. Had the campechanos burrito. Side of chips, guac, and queso were expensive. The esquite was terrible - definitely don't recommend that. It was frozen bland corn with lots of mayo. FYI- Will surcharge for credit card use.

    The "Df" in the name of this restaurant vexed me every time I saw it. Was it a sound? A typo? Then…read moreI visited Gil Tacos and thought I should actually look into it. It turns out Df is supposed to be D.F., capital D and capital F, as in Distrito Federal, the former name of Mexico City. So "Estilo D.F." means Mexico City-style. I've been trying to get Yelp to change the "Df" to "D.F." in the restaurant name, to no avail. So I had to write this little preface to appease the editor in me, and so that other people, who might also be wondering what Df means, knows what it means and how it's supposed to be spelled. Tacos! Gil Tacos specializes in tacos. They have a lot of tacos on their menu. This is the place to get those hardcore Mexican tacos, like lengua, tripe and cabeza. I am a softcore Mexican, so I opted for carnitas, al pastor and choriqueso. I got them Mexico City-style, which is with some diced onion and cilantro. The choriqueso was my favorite, and had a nice blob of cheese in it. The two pork tacos were a wee bit grisly and dry. Twice, I had to go up to the counter where the salsa was and douse my tacos in green chile salsa. The dry meat doesn't bother me as much as the gristle. I don't like fishing around in my mouth to pick out cartiledge. Salsa and chiles and things are at the front where you pick up your food. It's a communal thing. When you get your food, you can add salsa. That reminds me: You order at the counter, and they call your number. There's no table service. We also got a carne asada burrito, which I was told was excellent. Maybe I'll get a burrito the next time I visit, or a torta. But I had to get the tacos, because the word "tacos" is in this restaurant's name! How could I not? They have horchata and jamaica, and soft drinks in bottles and cans (like Mexican Coke). They also have beer in bottles.

    ¡Delicioso! Wow, loved my salad here! I chose the Ensalada…read moreMargarita with Chicken. The chicken is Tinga style, shredded and seasoned. They gave me a generous portion, the protein amount made it well worth the $12. The salad was a bed of leafy lettuce for extra nutrition and topped with cherry tomatoes, pickled onions (key ingredient), queso fresco, one scoop of guac (only complaint-not enough for the size of the salad), pepitas and a citrus vinaigrette on the side. The dressing is delicious! It all was delicious!! I would get it again in a heartbeat but also would want to try others things in the menu as well. My friend got the Chicken in Chipotle bowl. She loved it as well. The portion did not look as large, but it was $12.50. This comes with rice and black beans with adobo chunked chicken and other toppings including a scoop of guac and the delicious pickled onions. Very happy with our choice of La Margarita inside of the Sun King Brewery. Check them out for sure!

Chips are made fresh and the nachos are always covered in plenty of toppings, fresh guac, beer queso, we love the pickled onion, and salsa. My favorite way to order them is with chicken and black beans, but the beef is a close favorite. Their tacos and bowls are great and always full. Plenty of seating inside and upstairs! I added a picture of the Party Nachos XXL! First time getting one this big and everyone loved it!

I also opted for additional toppings - lettuce, sour cream and shredded cheese (Soy gringa!). While the Dasher was at the store, they advised me that the restaurant said it will take a little longer than expected and he apologized on their behalf. I'm not sure if it's customary for them to include chips and salsa with every order, but that was a pleasant surprise. My additional toppings were not added to the tacos but came served on the side. The portion sizes were generous for the lettuce, cheese and sour cream. The tacos themselves were flavorful with generous portions of tender meat, and everything tasted fresh. I demolished the rice and beans first. They were really good as well. I will gladly order for them again in the future.
