    We had the most wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Fioretta. The service and atmosphere were top notch. It was the first time my parents and I had ever been out for Thanksgiving dinner and we were so impressed. The staff was also incredibly kind and attentive. We really had a night to remember. Thank you, Jose and Fioretta!!

    The Girl and the Goat always exceeds expectations, even when my expectations are sky high! Thank you! We had the Pig Face, String Beans, Goat Belly, and Steak. The dishes all exploded with flavors. The balance of seasonings, use of citrus, vinegar and other elements of the dishes played well and makes the culinary experience here amazing. The cocktails were yummy as well. The Peach-Te-quilla was light and refreshing. The Spicy Fat Boy had a ton of flavor. To finish the night, we had the Toffee Pumpkin cake and a neat pour of the Pappy Family Reserve. The Pappy was a treat and made a great night even more special! Thanks to Stephanie and all the team at the Goat. You are all AMAZING!

    We had the pleasure of being served by Paul during our recent visit, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we were seated, Paul greeted us with a warm, friendly smile and made us feel right at home. He was attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always refilled and that we had everything we needed. Paul offered great recommendations and answered all of our questions with ease. His positive attitude and professionalism really elevated our dining experience. It’s clear he genuinely care about the guests, and we truly appreciated his outstanding service. Looking forward to coming back and hoping to be served by Paul again!
