If you haven’t been to the Smoking Goat restaurant and you want some unbelievable French food and a great experience with service this is the spot. I’ve been there multiple times and truly can’t wait to go back. There’s nothing I have tried that I would not order again.

Menu is varied and all menu items sound delicious. Tried the bacon donuts for the first time and they are as delicious as they sound. Their Quiche is some of the best around town. A reservation is required if you don't want to wait in a line.

I have been to Queenstown a few times, both at the little Italy and UTC location and the little Italy restaurant has always been the best experience. High quality meat and fresh produce, the food and drinks exceed expectations. Loved the gingerbread house decor during the holidays as well but the decor is nice year-round.
