Best Hot Spot Restaurants in College Area

Had a great experience at The Smoking Goat! The cozy ambiance and attentive service made for a pleasant evening. We started with the escargot, which was rich and flavorful, followed by the duck à l’orange, cooked perfectly with crispy skin and a tangy citrus sauce. The quality and taste were worth the price, and I’d definitely return!

Wonderful brunch! Food was delicious, and the patio was perfect!

For being a very busy valentines weekend they were so efficient with service. As a former food service worker I love how the staff work as a team during a busy rush. Everyone was friendly and attentive during our experience it definitely made my fiancés experience. This was his first time here and he kept mentioning how well the hospitaly how our dishes were so delicious. We will definitely be back soon.

The food was marvelous Giordanos is my go to restaurant for all my celebrations! I love the food plus it is close to my home! The only drawback that night was the noise level! It was a bit loud in the restaurant. They might want to invest in some solutions for that! Other than that, the evening was great. Another suggestion would be to have a piano bar for occasions such as Valentines Day or maybe weekends! We had the 14 oz ribeye and the seafood food ravioli!!)

We are so happy to have found this place. The food is amazing....finish every bite amazing. It can be a special dinner, or you can just have a casual drink and appetizer. Friendly and efficient service. One little negative is the chairs. Wood is with an open back, which is hard for some people.
