We came in on a Wednesday night to celebrate my birthday! The food was delicious. The eggplant stacker, focaccia bread and pastas were fantastic. Our dessert was out of this world, we shared the banana cream Sfogliatella which is made in house! Amanda made the night very nice for us, thank you!

Planning a wedding shower from 3000 miles away isn’t easy, but Kasey at The GOAT by David Burke made it simple—-no, she made it joyful! When I spoke to her a few days before the event, she was calm, organized, and very knowledgeable. She helped me make the right decisions about the room set up, the menu, and even recommended a local florist for the centerpieces. Kasey treated my daughter’s shower like it was special to her, even naming one of the salads for my daughter on the printed menu for the event. During the party, Kasey took care of everything, freeing me up to greet guests, take pictures, and just have fun! I wouldn’t hesitate to plan another event with Kasey and neither should you! (Side shout out to Anthony the mixologist at The GOAT, he made use amazing original cocktails!)

My wife and I tried this spot for Valentine's Day. They had a Prefix Menu for $68++ per person, minus the drinks. Sounded like a good deal, right? Especially, since this restaurant is part of the David Burke group. It should be good. We started with our appetizers. My wife originally wanted the Lobster Bisque Soup. But they ran out of that. They only had Mushroom Bisque or some other cream soup as a replacement. So, I had the Mushroom Bisque Souphile, while she had the Beet and Buratta Salad. They were very good. When it came to the main courses, I had the Pork Osso Buccon with Risotto (in Tagalog, Pinasosyal na Patatim ). My wife ordered the Lobster Ravioli. While my portions were generous, hers were disappointing. Five small pieces. Hardly satisfying, especially for someone who skipped

★★★★★ 5.0 John Boronkas · May 2023

This is my 3rd David Burke restaurant to visit and each one is simply fantastic! Each having their own style with amazing food. Waygu meatballs that melt in your mouth, clothesline bacon sweet and peppery, eggplant parm that's enough for 3 or 4 more meals, burgers, short ribs, and beautiful desserts! We will definitely be returning and trying his other restaurants... Came back today for a birthday visit. Nick was our server and he did not fail on any level. Friendly, knowledgeable and humorous. The garlic knots, meatballs, calamari and Cesar salad was fantastic. The creaminess of the salad dressing, the garlic punch of the knots were on point. The pizza was crispy and filled with so many flavors! Just a matter of time before were back again!

We went to The Goat to celebrate my wife’s birthday 🎂. I’m usually a huge fan of the place and we had 6:00pm reservations. Started to get a bit odd since we noticed everyone being served their meals, even those who arrived much after we did. Getting our meal was very slow tonight but it was worth the wait. I had the 36 Special which is a 12oz strip steak which was cooked to perfection. The Go Go fries that was served with the steak was awesome and had peppers and bacon. My wife had bruschetta ravioli which looked amazing and my daughter had the chicken parmigiana which was also delicious.
