Stumbling Goat Bistro

Seriously good southern food y'all. I'm from the Blue Ridge Mountains of northeast Georgia - same town where they filmed Deliverance - so I have some cred on this. Fried Green Tomatoes, Hush Puppies, Collard Greens, Pimento Cheese!!! It's all amazing and it's all worth your time. The staff was awesome too! Very friendly and obviously great at their jobs. I am a fan.

There are two main reasons that I love the Stumbling Goat Bistro: 1) it's not that far from my home; 2) their menu changes depending on what's in season. My first visit to the Bistro, I had a chicken confet that was out of this world! It's probably the best chicken I've eaten...ever! They always have a great selection of cheese on the menu (for those who don't have a dairy problem, like me) and I'm always up for trying something different from their drink menu. Speaking of dairy issues, the wait staff are really good about guiding me towards things that either don't have dairy or something that can be substituted with olive oil instead. I do recommend a reservation since it's a popular spot. The one down-side to the Bistro (which I'm not considering in my rating) is that it's hard to find street parking in that neighborhood.

WOW!!!! Wonderful meal & not much more then say Earl’s in Bellevue. But the food was really delicious!!! A foodies will be happy they came! We were there for a Birthday and had the grilled octopus first then chicken and hanging steak both were GREAT! We also had desserts and I had the pink cocktail again all very taste! Staff was just as wonderful too! We will go back! I have only one thought.... the ice tea didn't taste quite fresh, it was the only small issue. Go enjoy

Mostly great. Mostly expensive. Mostly good service. The Stumbling Goat will - more often than not - produce great steaks, salads, sides, and desserts. If you drink, they've got you covered with quality beverages. It's classy enough to bring a date and laid back enough to hang out with a friend, or to have a business dinner. They're busy enough where you'll have to wait for a dinner table without a reservation on certain days; but most times, you'll be able to find a small table as a walk-in. The Stumbling Goat is a nice place to eat or drink. If you're looking for fine dining in Phinney, it's one of the better restaurants. But every once in a while, your medium steak is well done, or mostly fat, or you're portion is half the size of someone else's at the table who ordered the same thing (which means they don't cut their own steaks or the chef isn't maintaining quality control in the fridge). And those little mistakes hold the place back from being great.
