Little Goat

The LG is under-starred! Delicious - every bite. We had 3 starters - fingerlings (slaty, crispy, yum!), ham & mustard (savory & pungent), and the gnocchi (blue cheese & bacon bits wow) - all a hit. Dinner entrees - meats and pastas - were all scrumptious. Party of six, and six happy tummies. Tried several desserts. None survived. All killed. So good. Go. Go now.

Come for the atmosphere, and order the wine by the bottle! We’d been cautioned about this place by a friend but it’s so beautiful we gave it a go. Vibe is great and service was attentive…. Food fell pretty short. Cucumber salad dish felt incomplete - needed some acidity, chicken was nicely cooked but over salted, dessert was probably the best to be honest (made better by Paul Rudd arriving on the table beside us). Biggest insult had to be wine by the glass: served in a small glass, and probably two shots worth. Get a bottle so you can pour more liberally - and maybe eat elsewhere after…

I can’t say enough good things about Little Goat. Everything was a 10 out of 10 for me. It has a very rustic cozy vibe inside; almost feels like you’re eating in someone’s home. Our servers were all amazing, polite and attentive. The drinks were great! Whoever they have working behind, the bar, really knows what they’re doing .The food was so special. Really feels like so much thought went into each dish. Unique well balanced flavors, never too much seasoning and certainly never not enough. Perfection. I will be returning here as often as possible.

Incredible experience for the second time at little goat!! The food is absolutely amazing. The rigatoni, chicken, risotto & the desserts are all 100/10. Thank you!!

Service was great! Esteban, our front server, was very kind and friendly. The interior is beautiful and very lively. The pork was very nicely cooked and paired nicely with the stone fruit. The potatoes were super crispy, and we liked the aioli. The mezze plate was a nice portion for two and was delicious. We had a great time and would come back again😻

The egg sandwich with merguez sausage is easily the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had (and I’ve had many)! Curried squash soup was also delicious. Great service and atmosphere.

Had a lovely lunch with friends recently at this spot. Everything was fresh and delicious ---one of the best caesars I've had! Nothing was overpriced--- which is honestly surprising when you go to a cool spot with great food! Every server that came to our table was warm and friendly. We spoke to the manager, a young cool chick, SO lovely, she knew a lot about the menu! I'll be back :)

Little Goat is a fantastic spot located right in the village of Rhinebeck, making it an easy and welcoming place to stop for dinner. The atmosphere is warm and the service was great. We ordered shared entrées for dinner and the chicken was absolutely incredible. Perfectly seasoned, cooked beautifully, and definitely a standout dish. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Incredible new offering to the Rhinebeck dining scene. Have been twice (once with family, once with friends). Somewhat unusual menu that the owner described as "the way he likes to eat at home with his family" meaning shareable plates, lots of veggie options, small but high quality selection of proteins. The menu is smallish, but just about everything is worth trying. Standouts are the roasted potatoes, gnudi, trout and trio of dips, but everything was excellent. Decor is impeccable, service as well on first visit, but server on second visit seemed a bit flustered/overwhelmed. Just beginning to hit its stride after a few months, I'm excited for what's to come!

Oy. My hopes were high, maybe vibing off the look of the place and the good times for the restaurant that preceded Little Goat in this space. My husband and arrived at 12:00 for brunch following a massage. We were both relaxed and looking for a good meal. We had reservations, but even that didn't go well initially as there was confusion about our reservation and who the host was. Confusion solved and we were shown to our table. Water arrived quickly as did an answer to my husband's question about the menu -- delivered was just slightest be of shade. Our server was lovely. Greeted us warmly and took orders for coffee and was practically running before I got the whole order out of my mouth. I had to say call her back to ask what scones they had (this was not on the menu). She told me and I ordered the dried fig scone. She arrived promptly with the scone and she took our order for brunch, and then she was off again. Scone was served with no condiments nor a question about whether we wanted butter or jam. We waited, and waited. I clocked the number of tables she appeared to be responsible for -- eight tables with six of them, including us, seated. Most with just two people. Ten minutes on, I had to start looking around for her and signal her with my eyes and a bit of a nod. I asked about our coffee. And she was off again. We waited another five minutes and the coffee arrived. No sugar or creamer on the table. None offered. She was off again. Our meal arrived. My husband got the grain bowl, which was loaded with sliced red onion. Onion were not included among the list of ingredients on the menu. And there were a lot. We couldn't find our server, so my husband signaled to another staff person. He arrived, listened and took the plate away without a word. Were they sending out another one? Waitress arrived to question us. My husband explained. We then heard her warn everyone around us as they were ordering the grain bowl. Another bowl arrived, freshly prepared and without onion. I started to eat mine, which was a poached egg with country ham and pan bread. The poached egg was the size of a quarter and the country ham was ONE very thin slice of country ham (aka prosciutto). I mean like what generally appears on top of a pizza (and then usually more than one slice). On the positive side, there was plenty of grated parmesan. A virtual cloud of it. The best part of the dish. Pan bread was okay, but it was cold. No salt and pepper on the table and none offered. No butter or jam with the meal and none offered. We left unimpressed. I left hungry -- and $75 poorer. It's really too bad, because it is a great space, a good location and we're locals, so we'd definitely be back if it had been good.

I like the look of this place, and the fridge with take home options. I got coffee my first two visits, today I bought the ham sandwich they offer. The bread was nice and soft, but I didn't like the texture of the ham and it was bland tasting. The coffee is great, they have an espresso machine. For the prices they're charging, I expect there to be better and more sweetener options besides Sugar in the Raw or fake sugar. All I wanted was some white Domino's sugar. That shouldn't be too much to ask for to put in my $7 latte. Be prepared to wait a while for that coffee too. Maybe I'll go back, but probably not for quite some time.

I've been eager to try Little Goat since the press blitz began some months ago. I regretted going shortly after walking in. Not that Rhinebeck needs another Italian menu. But all the hype made me curious. Plus I love to dine out. I'm a regular at local spots including Market Street, Le Petit Bistro and Kips Tavern. It was 1 p.m. on a Sunday and the brunch crowd was bustling. I was seated at the bar next to a nice looking straight couple when the gentleman bartender asked me what I wanted to drink. I glanced at the menu and selected a cold brew and a Bloody Mary. "We're out of Bloody Mary," he said. "Oh no!" I exclaimed with a smile, "There should be a sign on the door." "Can I get you something else?" he asked, "We have a full bar." "I'll start with the cold brew and take another look at the menu." When the cold brew came, served by a young woman, she noted they were out of the half and half I'd requested. "This is whole milk," she said. When the gentleman bartender returned, I asked for a Paloma. "We don't have grapefruit juice," he said. "We're not really set up for brunch." "Oh, I was about to order an egg sandwich, I told him," confused by his comment. He looked at me with unfriendly eyes. Uncomfortable, I told him I thought I should probably leave. "This has been an unpleasant experience," I said. He agreed. When I walked out, I asked a young woman behind the front counter. She told me his name was Justin.

I went by myself to have some snacks and a drink at the bar. I thought it was great. The bartender was super nice, very attentive. The ambiance inside is friendly, very clean, and welcoming. Service was prompt from the bartender. I thought the food was very good. I just got the mezze platter and some delicious olives plus a dessert. Suggestions from employees were on point. The food was very tasty. I've never had a meal in the actual restaurants, but I would highly recommend the bar. The only downside to the bar is that you're close to the kitchen and you can hear all the fuss that you probably normally wouldn't hear sitting at a table in the restaurant.

I just moved to the area and my favorite place to be is here. Coffee is amazing, staff is so friendly, and I love everything on their menu. The negative reviews you read on here are bs. This is not a starbucks or dunkin, this is a lovely local spot designed to be savored and enjoyed!!! I am so glad they are part of the community

This is the spot where The Amsterdam was. Little Goat has made changes to the decor which are lovely! It is bright, clean, modern and very pretty. We had breakfast here on Saturday. My husband enjoyed the French toast while I had a poached egg on arugula with prosciutto or Parma ham and grated Parmesan served with this wonderful round bread. The quality of the food is excellent! However the word for the day is "small". Water glass - small, coffee served in a tea cup, food portions - small. Also the staff is little indifferent. No one seems very happy or welcoming.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Rhinebeck. The staff is so friendly and informed about their cuisine. We had wonderful bread service, delicious Green Goddess Salad, a Kale Caesar to start. We had unique pasta dishes, including a celery root gnudi for our entrees and a delicious Spelt Olive Oil cake for dessert. The atmosphere is light and relaxing. We wish we had a Little Goat back in California

Absolutely stunning. This place is gorgeous, and the food and drinks truly match. I had a beautiful floral cocktail that I liked so much I ordered another, and the fingerling potatoes with homemade garlic aioli were delish. I'll be dreaming about the charred spring pea and asparagus salad for the rest of my years - I almost regret getting this, because I was in town for just one day and will now wish I could have it all the time. The staff were super sweet, too. Definitely check this place out if you want some creative, seasonal dishes in a beautiful setting!

Pros:Nice atmosphere Cons: table water tastes like chlorine,limited choices for breakfast, breakfast sandwich was too oily, overcooked eggs and pork, not gourmet in the least nor the quality I expected.

My daughter and I had lunch there and the portions were insultingly small and it was far from inexpensive. We wouldn't recommend

Lovely restaurant bakery, I have only had their very delicious but messy breakfast sandwich and coffee on their beautiful porch. It was very good. My only thing is this sandwich is so messy and was not served with a napkin. Service was also a little slow for what it was but overall this was a delightful breakfast sandwich and coffee in a lovely location. And the counter staff were very nice and friendly even though I was only ordering to eat on the porch and not a high ticket dining-room brunch customer.

This was our first visit to Little Goat and we had a wonderful experience. The Friday night vibe was lively and fun with an interesting, diverse crowd. Decor, lighting, and music are on point. The service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly and professional, knew the menu well, and was able to make great suggestions. And the food was the true star--excellent! We had Caesar salads, chicken and the trout entrees with a side of crispy potatoes and roast squash, and one of each of the desserts, and all were outstanding. Not inexpensive, but well worth it. Highly recommended.

Visited the Little Goat this evening for the first time. The space is very nice and the service was fair but nothing special. Menu is relatively limited with no actual appetizers just "snacks" and "vegetables". The food itself was excellent but the value is where they fall short. Started with the crispy potatoes and the tomato panzanella, each was tiny, like tapas size. For mains we had the chicken and the bucatini. Very expensive for what you get, they charge $10 for bread (which they don't tell you) and $12 for a beer. Would we return, eh probably not...prices are on par with a high end NYC restaurant and the portions are small.

Good sandwiches and baked goods, takeout service a bit slow but welcome to Rhinebeck we didn't dine a the restaurant yet, I'm hearing small portions with high prices.

Finally... A great restaurant in Rhinebeck! Chic, intimate decor.. And lovely food; light, bright flavors.. Truly NYC level..

Attractive setting. Good food. Terrible wine service. Nice waitress. Very small portions of everything.

My barista, Katie, took extra time to help me choose a drink I would like and delivered it to my table with a heart shape in the latte foam! The cookie I had was delectable. I liked the way Little Goat is decorated, too. Fresh flowers, friendly service and a lovely location

We had a Really delicious dinner at Little Goat tonight. Finest of food preparation. Local, clean eating. Pasta's are homemade. Roast chicken was super delicious. Cocktails outstanding! Service and ambience, superb!

If u like swarma this place rocks!! Huge portion n friendly ppl. They also have Armenian drinks too.

My intake from last night at Little Goat Rhinebeck - good drinks, great bread and butter, a very limited menu! No appetizers not sure why... We all had vegetables first my was the beets... almost a pound of cooked beets no extra flavor... I had pork as second... I couldn't eat it, was way too sugary. The pastas sauce were good but I can have gluten... meaning no option there. The decor is simple and too monochromatic for my taste, great servers! If I go back as it is... probably no

My wife and I ate here this evening and had a delicious dinner. The "Before sunrise " cocktail was wonderful, the mezze appetizer was delightful and our entrees (rigatoni and the chicken) were great. Service was top-notch, friendly and helpful. We sat on the porch for a relaxing meal. We will definitely be back.

I live in the Hudson Valley. I rarely post negative reviews, but I am compelled to share this one. I have given business to The Little Goat Bakery before. The building and restaurant are beautiful, but the menu is limited and a little overpriced. Overall, my experience was generally good. Today, my husband and I sat at one of their outside tables. My husband had a tea and a sandwich from another establishment. I wanted a coffee and a pastry from the little goat bakery, but was sitting and waiting for the line to reduce. Before I could get up to purchase something, a man who worked at the bakery (I do not know his role) came over to my husband and me and said, "So you are eating here but bought food elsewhere?" in front of other patrons. I didn't feel the need to justify myself or explain how I planned to make a purchase. I just said," ok, we will leave". He said, "You don't have to leave. I was just curious." After being chastised like a child and being completely embarrassed in front of others, I did not purchase anything from the bakery. My husband finished his sandwich and we left. I do not know why this person felt the need to do this. Perhaps my husband's race was an issue, but I will never give this establishment any business again and will tell everyone I know not to give any business to the Little Goat Bakery

Beautiful new restaurant, excellent service, and a delicious dinner. Loved the menu and had a hard time choosing - but we ended up sharing the cauliflower, carrots, linguini, and chicken. Perfect combination and loved each dish, and we're still talking about the char on the chicken the next day. You'd never know it was just the third night of service. Highly recommend!

An immense surprise - was not expecting this new place to knock our socks off. In a town of very overrated restaurants (e.g. Le Petit Bistro), Little Goat's wonderful understated food and subtle beauty stands out. The vegetable appetizers (grilled carrots, pea/asparagus salad) were the essence of farm-to-table fresh and the steelhead trout with crispy skin was flavorful and the opposite of fishy. Couldn't recommend this place more.

we had a panzanella, grain bowl with chicken, and an egg sandwich. the sandwich was delicious. the panzanella was, sadly, a joke. aside from being insultingly small (at $17), it was made with unripe, tasteless tomatoes and had not been soaked in their juices, so it was basically a tiny salad of stale bread and maybe one tomato. the grain bowl was even more insulting as far as portions go - imagine about half a cup of grain tossed with some beans. the chicken was overcooked and over salted. really wanted to love this place. pastries look good - but the kitchen needs to get it together.

Great food and great service. Really enjoyed the small veggie plates and the chicken. Very cool what they have done with the interior and the new bar. Have been twice already and will be back soon!

Went on a Sunday night & they were quite busy. they have done a lovely job with the renovations & the place is bright & beautiful inside. Food was okay - small portions for pricey menu. The wine pour was very frugal for a $17. glass of red. The service was good but they have some kinks to work out with the menu. One last thing - We all noticed the way the female waitresses were dressed () gave hand maids tale vibes - not sure why??!
