I had the chicken entree, which was phenominal. I also had the Wellfleet Oysters which were really, really good. The waiters were great and gave tips on what was good and what was even better. And the home made ice cream was great. Five stars overall and my Grandfather paid the bill.

My husband and I live directly across the street, and have been to Goat Town multiple times for drinks or dinner. Wine and beer lists are small but nicely curated, and the bartenders and wait staff have always been exceptional. The bloody mary is delicious, as are the other cocktails we've tried. We've tried most items on the menu. I almost always get the fish entree, either seared or à la meunière - always so satisfying! I love that Goat Town uses seasonal ingredients, and the veggies always rocks. They are working sourcing from the garden in the back, looking forward to that. Our favorite thing about this place is the ambiance. The decor and sound system are great, plus they always play good music - we go nuts when we are dining at a nice restaurant with terrible music...

We walked into an empty restaurant at 7pm, but it got nicely hopping by the time we asked for the check. This was fine, if a bit unexpected, as were the fact that the restaurant was cash only for the night and does not (yet) have a liquor license. But we made do and ordered a couple of wine and beer cocktails. The Goat Town wine cocktail had great flavor and I love how the mixture of spices and syrups separates in the glass. The food itself was okay -- I'll give it props for quality, but we both felt it was a little boring, even the scallops. The portion size is on the small side, and we came away sated, not stuffed, which is a plus for me but not for hubby. So the value is a bit underwhelming. Props to our waitress, however, who had great timing and detailed knowledge of the menu.

We had an amazing dinner on Saturday night, appetizers and desserts on par with our entrees...just wonderful. Service and food were super!Surprised it was not more crowded. This place is a gem. Will definitely go back.

On a second visit - after a rewarding Sunday brunch of oysters and eggs - we tried much of the menu. Chilled shucked oysters were varied and briny - delicious. Mussels were a little bland, pork chop tender and well seasoned, smoked sausage was, well, smoked sausage, steak tartare tasty but unremarkable, beets on a bed of some sort of creamy sauce were lovely, and sauteed greens were perfection. Each of the Rose, Vouvray and lager were greatly appreciated by their respective adopters. Salted Caramel and Burnt Honey ice creams received high ratings, as did the exceptional cookie plate. Tab for all of this was about $52 per person, a little high, but considering the indulgence not an unreasonable tally.

I was excited to try Goat Town after mutliple positive experiences at Cookshop and a decent meal at Hundred Acres. I arrived a few minutes earlier than my friend and when I asked to sit, I was told I had to sit at the bar even though the restaurant was empty (aside from 2-3 tables) so that started the evening with a bad taste. I quickly let it go as I know some restaurants have that policy to seat only when the entire party has arrived. My friend and I both had the burger for our entree. I ordered mine medium rare and she ordered hers medium. When they arrived, hers was definitely the medium rare one and mine was more rare. Hers was sent back and I ate mine as-is and it was fine. My biggest complaint was that the entire plate (burger and fries) tasted like nothing but salt. I must have drank 8-10 glasses of water throughout the meal. The service was fine, nothing special and the meal decent, if that. If you don't live in this area, there are plenty of other neighborhood restaurants that are worth the hype. This one, unfortunately, wasn't...

I've eaten at other Joel Gough spots (Cook Shop, 100 Acres) - this is the best. Lovely interior, warm atmosphere and excellent dishes. I'm going again tonight.
