I love this restaurant 💚 It's a nice place to go for a date night out. Great food, the staff always attentive & polite. Great vibes. Thank you Rustic Goat!
Our dinners were great - drunken clams with reindeer sausage and pork sausage, and the pasta. Off the charts flavorful. We could not get a table reservation so we ate at the bar. The negatives - the pita bread was under done and had to be sent back and still was not cooked enough on the second try either. So bummed that All the beer taps were not operational so draft beer was a bust. The bartender/server, Adam, seemed nice but almost too busy vs attentive for our needs.
So, it was a 5 on food and a 3 on some other things.

Great place that I often wish was bigger. Menus change fairly regularly and the specials are amazing. Great local place off the beaten path! Highly recommended!

The view was beautiful. The atmosphere was nice. The server was good. But the food was terrible. The Caesar salad was limp with too much Parmesan garlic on it. The cheeseburger dry like a frozen patty that had just been heated up. The fries were so heavily salted. Just chunks of salt crystals. Some of the few food smells so bad my kid had a push it away from them

The Rustic Goat is a must-try!
We ordered several dishes.
Hummus – I Loved the rustic veggies that topped the hummus. The hummus had that perfect creamy texture.
THE HEAT MISER Pizza – Total standout! The crust was soft and flavorful, and the reindeer sausage with caramelized onions made it next-level delicious.
Alaskan Scallops – The curry sauce was sooo good—spicy with a nice kick, so be ready for some heat.
Shrimp Scampi – Good, but I’d probably skip it next time and try something new.
Overall, super tasty with fun flavor combos that make it worth the visit!

We stopped in to grab dinner and started out with the hummus bowl and a berry salad. They ended up being so good and filling that we never ordered a main course. Hats off to the chef!

When I look to their menu, It’s not my favorite. They don’t have wide selection, so I tell them that I don’t feel their menu

Decent food at premium pricing. Humus + Steak
For a 50$ steak I expect a decent cut, half of the steak was gristle and unfortunately remained on the plate. Humus presentation and mix was perfection - a bit heavy handed on the spice but still a great dish.
Issue was the staff just isn’t friendly - no greeting at the door, no acknowledgment in all sincerity, if you don’t hear what the waitress says she would snap back rudely repeating it, no interaction in the slightest between staff and guests. Just a sterile and non welcoming experience.

The service staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is awesome!
Poutine I ordered was incredibly salty, even though I was starving I couldn’t get through more than a quarter of it and I was forcing myself. Think they made the mistake of salting the fries. Tbf It’s hard to find a good one outside of Canada.
Wait staff were super friendly about everything and very polite. Whoever the bartender was is awesome! I wasn’t charged for the stuff I couldn’t eat which was very nice of them.
Ordered ice cream to hopefully clear some of that salt out. Got the sesame banana split. The black sesame brittle was amazing but the caramel that covered everything was burnt and again had a crazy amount of salt. Really stuck to my teeth too so I couldn’t get the burnt flavors out of my mouth. I picked through it and ate the good parts not covered in the caramel.
I wonder if maybe the cook was having an off day. I’ll give this place another try on a different day because I have heard great things, but for today I was pretty sad about what was served up.
If the food continues to not impress this might be a really great place for me to come get drinks only since it’s a nice spot to hang out.

I tried the chicken pizza and it was delicious, although there were only a few options to customize it. The Thai chili wings were very good as well. The only downside was the wait time. We were told it would be about twenty minutes but it ended up being closer to forty five. It was raining, so that might have caused some delays. Overall, the food was tasty and I would recommend visiting

We just finished our dinner and were very happy. Our group ordered multiple items, the pork nachos, chilli-crisp bacon burger, shrimp scampi and Moroccan cauliflower, and a pizza. It was all great. We would have brought more hone for left overs, but not much survived first contact. It was delicious. We were early, so reservations weren't needed, but they must get busy.
