    Everything was great!! Food was ok. Can definitely improve the tastes of the food. Was a good idea, just feel like it wasn't executed.

    We've eaten here a few times, and the service and food are always good. Yes, it's a casual place and the menu is somewhat limited, but everything is fresh, well prepared and the staff makes sure everything is exactly right I had the chicken salad which had EVERYTHING in it and my wife had the turkey sandwich which was piled high with meat and vegies. The wine selection was good and fairly priced. I would recommend the goat tree for lunch or a casual dinner. (yes, they have heaters if it gets cold and you're seating outside)

    The restaurant had run out of food and the waitress didn’t inform us until we started ordering. It would have been. Ice to know which items they had left on the menu before we started ordering. We left and found a great place up the street.

    Pretty view and good food. Small menu with lots of Mediterranean options. Good for a small bite and a glass of wine.

    We had a reservation through Opentable but they did not honor it and were only letting in people who added there names to their paper list. Not sure why they would do that since we could see empty tables.
