   The restaurant was pretty nice overall. I enjoyed the asthetics of it, but the seating arrangement was pretty cramped. Not a real good spot for an intimate date. Food was great other than the steak. I ordered medium and it was cooked to temp, but the whole steak was dry. Didn't matter from which section of the steak I took the bite from. I was expecting much more from a $50 steak, but their fries and veggies were tasty enough to get me filled up.

   We went on a Tuesday night to celebrate a special occasion. Scottie, our server, made sure we had the most amazing service. The food was wonderful and the ambience allowed us to have a meaningful conversation. Definitely a new favorite spot when visiting San Diego.

   We had a lovely 8pm dinner - nice options for appetizers and entrees. The wine and cocktail list was good, if not amazing. The food was all nicely prepared and presented and the Smoking Goat house red Bordeaux did not disappoint. We loved the area, very cool options for before and after dinner!

   We ordered the cauliflower appetizer to share and it was delicious I wasn’t a fan of the cheese (mixed on)I believe it was a feta but not sure. Everyone else liked it. I had the duck entree and requested it cooked medium well and it was perfect! The bananas foster is killer good as is the crème brûlée!!!

   Overall, the experience was pleasant. The energy was high; the noise level was moderate; the service was good. It was an eclectic ambiance, approximating a European bistro, but a bit too crowded and noisy if you're looking to experience an intimate, romantic environment. This was our first time at the Smoking Goat, so can only judge the food based on our limited exposure. The pear salad was very good; the mussel appetizer was tasty; the wild mushroom linguine entree was rich, creamy and very good; the salmon entree, while having a generous filet of salmon was a disappointment. The fish was over cooked, resulting in a dry texture, lacking the succulent moistness expected when this fatty treasure is expertly prepared.

    Dinner for 4 on Sunday was great, we ordered the salmon, two orders of pork chops and the chicken. The family raved about the food. It is great having a restaurant that has reliably great food and service quality when you want your evening to be seamless.
