Stumbling Goat Bistro
God they're so nice here. I don't like to drop a ton of money when I go out to eat, but when I do, the food and hospitality better be unbelievable Stumbling Goat gets both of these things right. The menu has that local-grown, lovingly harvested, gourmet feel (think balsamic vinaigrette or homemade vanilla bean ice cream), but it's unpretentious and feels like you're eating at grandma's farmhouse. If your grandma had impeccable food and wine sense. But on top of the stellar food, the staff is supremely nice. They're warm, attentive, and seem to really enjoy their work. The sommelier (yes this place is that fancy) was hanging out with friends at their table while still doing his job with aplomb. Our waitress was tattooed and pierced and not stuffed into a faux-formal uniform a la The Olive Garden. She asked how our day had been and seemed genuinely interested in the response. She compleminted my skirt. Perhaps I was being buttered up for a huge tip, but it was so worth it.
