Nice little restaurant with great food. Service started slowly, but was fine by the end of the meal. Everyone was kind and professional.

We had an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The food, service, and wine selections were all executed with precision and care. Our server, Conner, provided attentive, knowledgeable service without ever feeling intrusive, which greatly elevated our evening. Each dish was beautifully prepared and memorable. The Brussels sprouts, Branzino, and goat cheesecake are all standout recommendations. The lollipop lamb special, in particular, was extraordinary—expertly crusted, perfectly cooked, and truly remarkable. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a refined and thoughtfully curated dining experience.

What a treat! We started off our mother-daughter weekend with this scrumptious restaurant. Nicholas was very hospitable and just the right vibe. The other wait staff was respectful and stealthy in removing obviously finished dishes. Very strong kickoff! Parking was the only challenge so allow time.

Ordered roasted beet salad. beets were not roasted and small portion of beets and spring salad. Pasta salad made a substitution for goat cheese instead of feta. they sent a side of cream goat cheese??????? Drinks were good. i would not return here to eat.

Well, we hadn't visited since the remodel. Unfortunately we were extremely disappointed in the menu changes. No Moroccan lamb and no brick oven pizza (a few of our regular cravings). There are a few old pizza inspired flavor options still available on a thick, hard and bland pita like crust (major downgrade). We also ordered a lamb pasta dish that tasted like chef Boyardee with a few tiny chunks of lamb. It looks like they sloppily painted the dumpster pile of a restroom area but changed nothing. Even kept the nasty grungy faucets. We have been going to Lazy Goat from day one and always loved it. However, it feels like it's rapidly losing its flair and making poor business decisions. Sad to see this happen. Definitely heartbreaking because I have no real desire to go back.

The Lazy Goat is always a wonderful dining experience. The view of the River out the windows is glorious. The restaurant ambiance is nice and comfortable, and the service is top notch. We started with a delicious Brussels sprouts appetizer, and a bread board. I had the Mediterranean Prawns entree while my wife had Lamb Pasta Tagliatelle. Both were marvelous. Then we finished with Tiramisu. One of our favorite places in Greenville!

I loved this restaurant. We sat on the patio looking out over the river, with the side waterfall behind us. The service was great, it was a little nippy so they immediately lit the heater and our food was scrumptious. We were having lunch. I had the 3 cheese pide that was delicious and would make a great appetizer too. My friend had the gnocchi with feta & spinach and the sauce was wonderful. Definitely will be back and will recommend to others.

The newly renovated space is great and with the view of the river it is a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy a fantastic meal. The new menu and wine list (Thursday night is half price wine) were exceptional.

Really enjoyed celebrating our anniversary at The Lazy Goat. The staff, especially Dominique, was so kind and made the evening special. The Truffle Frites and Beet and Goat Cheese salad was wonderful, and we both enjoyed the gnocchi entree. Loved the location with a view of the Reidy River and the walkway of Falls Park. All around great experience!

We enjoyed our evening at The Lazy Goat. Our server, David, made great suggestions for our meal. I highly recommend the branzino. The goat cheese cheesecake was a great end to our meal. The restaurant's location on the Reedy River Falls Loop makes for a pleasant evening walk after dinner.

This is our new favorite restaurant, even better than Zaytinya in DC! This chef has a brilliant menu and executes it to perfection! Highly recommend! We will be traveling back just to eat here!

Our server, Geronimo, was kind and very knowledgeable about the menu and gave fantastic recommendations. We had some warm and cold plates and then an entree to share. Lovely!

This restaurant was mind blowing good. My fiancé and I ate here to celebrate 4 years of being together about a month late from having a wild toddler we finally were able to celebrate. While I diligently looked for the place to celebrate our love without her knowing, I found The Lazy Goat, called and committed to a reservation. Upon arrival, we were met by professional and kind staff who treat you like gold and show you to your table while also noting important things around the restaurant while they see you to your seats. We chose to sit outside and were met by an amazing waiter “Geronimo” ... what a great name but man can I say, what an even better waiter! The guy was awesome, checked on us many times and made suggestions that just LANDED on the taste buds. My fiancé and I left with happy bellies and we definitely have to recommend the “Fried Goat Cheese.” It was absolutely AMAZING; but so were the entrees! After getting checked in several times by Geronimo and our To-Go boxes loaded, he also went out of his way to bring us an Anniversary card signed by all staff in the restaurant and they also brought us a special dessert and champagne! What an experience and the outside seating area is just beautiful, including the inside! It feels 5 STAR!. 10/10 would eat here again and 10/10 would recommend! Thanks again Lazy Goat! We will be back!
