    We stopped here for breakfast. This is a very interesting touristy place. There are dollar bills stapled all over the place. The service was excellent. Its loud but everyone is soo friendly. The food is delicious and in large quantities. My husband frequents this place and loves the bloody Marie's. I guess we will be coming back on the regular.

    $10 Breakfast

    The Goat used to be one of our go-to spots, but unfortunately, it just didn't live up to expectations this year. The host seemed pretty unorganized, he offered us bar seats that didn't exist, and when some finally opened up, he gave them away to someone else out of order. I actually had to point out a table that was ready to be cleared just to get us seated. I do appreciate that they text you when your table's ready, but the overall seating process was frustrating. The ambiance is usually a plus, but watching the news on three giant TVs during Sunday breakfast wasn't exactly the vibe we were hoping for. Our waitress clearly didn't want to be there and made us feel like we were a bother just by ordering. Not much to choose from for brunch coffees, just hot, iced, and one boozy option. I expected more from a place that serves breakfast and brunch. A little menu or drink list would've been helpful. I had the bagel sandwich with avocado, tomato, egg, and cheese. It was okay, but the bagel tasted like a plain Lenders bagel from the grocery store. Homefries were burned and had no flavor. My wife had a basic breakfast, scrambled eggs (super salty), homefries, and an English muffin and even that didn't impress, especially for $10. Sadly, The Goat just isn't what it used to be. Food quality and service have both gone downhill. We even skipped their buy one, get one burgers because honestly, it didn't feel worth it even for free. Ended up going to WYHM instead and were much happier with that choice.

    PORK!!!

    We love Hampton Beach on Wednesday nights and we, well maybe it was just me, chose here because I wanted the appetizers. We got nothing but pork. The bacon wrapped jalapeños seemed homemade, the pork belly was yummy melty goodness and the bucket of bacon left me wanting more! More more more! It was a great lively atmosphere and well worth the wait! We will come back for entrees at some point I am sure, Our server was nice too!

    Glad we gave The Goat a shot. The atmosphere was laid back and casual, with a "come as you are" attitude. It was super hot out, so we asked to sit downstairs where we could catch a breeze. Drinks took a bit, but refills were free, which was nice. And we happened to go on 2-for-1 burger Tuesday (score!). The burgers hit the spot, and we enjoyed the homemade pasta and potato salads, too.

    Great spot to have a Sunday funday. Brunch is their best offering. We go here at least monthly. We get everything from the mimosas to the whiskey drinks. Everything is well made. I get the breakfast shot and it hits the spot every-time. The breakfast food is always good. The burgers and tots are also very good. The dinner menu is just OK. I would definitely recommend this as more of a brunch spot than a dinner spot. The ambiance is unique. The walls are lined with signed dollar bills. At this point, we probably have 50$ or so on the wall!! Lol. Stop by and give this place a shot. You'll probably leave buzzed, and will definitely leave satisfied!

    $10 2 eggs any style, home fries, Texas toast, ham

    Excellent Brunch spot! Build your own bloody Mary's were very well priced and so much fun! We sat on the second level and our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. At 10:30am there was no wait and the second deck wasn't too loud or overwhelming (we all thought the first floor was overwhelming between the decor and noise). Started with the bacon bucket and there was a lot more bacon in it than we initially thought! So well prepared and thick cut! I got the $10 eggs anyways and a side of hash and hollandaise sauce to build my own breakfast. Will be back!

Reservations recommended we were seated at a beautiful table for two right near the bar and started off with a Pinot noir and a cabernet. Both wines were delightful. For appetizers we had the braised lamb crepe and the octopus... Both dishes were delicious, presented well with sauces to die for. Followed by the pasta dish and the duck. These were the best dinners of the year for us. The blending of flavors were fantastic and it was augmented by the owner coming over and talking to us about how the food was prepared. I won't bore you with all the details but the octopus is slow boiled for 5 hours.. complete with wine. Corks it was tender and delicious with the Mediterranean flair. We go out to eat our fair share from high end to diners anywhere. The food is well prepared and delicious... This was the top for the year! From the service to the presentation to the wine to the ambiance, everything is top notch here. I will provide a warning. You will drop a pretty penny if you partake in all the courses, but we thought it was well worth it. Thank you to the staff and ownership. We enjoyed our evening.. a true date night.

I say alcohol because it wasn't all wine but ... since it's a bit of a surprise in terms of what actually appears I'll just leave it at that. However, as to the food ... I'll give a taste, a flavor, a wisp of a whisper of the full culinary adventure. For complete details, see your local sous chef! Here's what we had. In the middle of my photo collage, a blood sausage slider with fennel/jalapeño sauce on toasted brioche bun. Then clockwise from top left - cornbread with maple glaze in a Barbie sized personal cast iron skillet; beet salad with goat cheese half spheres; a dessert tray of black apple cake with hay ice cream (yes, seriously), chamomile pot de creme and a duck fat beignet; an assortment of ice creams - fenugreek, fennel/maitake mushroom/burnt hazelnut (all tasted fabulous and in each you could taste the listed flavors); entree of duck and wild mushroom tart; white bean soup and finally a pasta dish of ravioli with two fillings. Just a note on what it would take to make it yourself. See that hexagonal white blob on the bottom row, middle pic? That's a potato foam. Forgive me for not recalling the full procedure but the prep is roughly 7 hours long. First, the cut potatoes are cooked in a sous vide for 2 hours so that no moisture is added to them. Then a succession of ricing, smoking, drying, undrying, mashing, placing in a foam machine that looked like a whipped cream dispenser and boom - a tiny dollop of potato. It tasted great. But man - that's a lot of effort for a mouthful of potato. I don't think I'll be trying it at home. Over two hours of eating and chatting. I brought a couple of my restaurant-based cartoons as my personal thanks for the meal and was shocked that Justin, their sommelier, had done a cartoon of his own ahead of time for me! Just stick to wine, Justin - I don't need any MORE competition with my magazine editors ... With Dylan ably providing the primary chef duties and Amaya and Justin handling the booze, the meal was a smashing success. The food pairings were masterfully chosen and timing of the dishes meant we were always primed for the next one. Although the succession of what I'd call dessert dishes made me start to feel like a Hobbit enjoying dessert, second dessert and then post seconds. As Anton Ego said in Ratatouille (and they have a cute Reme rat under glass on a shelf) "I shall be returning, hungry for more."

The Parker House rolls were savory warm perfection and a great way to start the meal. My entree, the gnocchi with duck confit was one of the best things I've ever tasted (though very rich--I had to bring half home). And I tasted my dining companion's duck breast an it was also delicious (which they concurred in thinking). The dessert special was a sticky toffee pudding with bananas foster ice cream and peanut butter magic shell and I wish I could eat it every day. The only downsides were that (1) I didn't love the dessert cocktail (which was also absent a garnish), but it could also very well be personal preference and it was only $7, (2) it was freaking freezing in the restaurant. We were seated in a corner that didn't seem to have any baseboard heaters, and even though we weren't far from the fireplace, there was so little insulation on the windows we were all egregiously uncomfortable. The service was great, with the waitress very helpfully answering all our questions and brining each course with perfect timing. The food itself is on the expensive side, though I thought the drinks were normal for a nice restaurant (my other drink, which I enjoyed, was $13). But for the quality of the food, it's hard to complain.
