The Noble Goat

My husband and I finally tried this newer elevated spot and will definitely be back for another date night! We loved the decor and overall vibe. We ordered the Flash Fried Calamari, Chicken Milanese, and Applewood Smoked Bacon Pizza. The calamari was incredibly crisp and the saffron aioli was very good. The chicken Milanese had one of the best pieces of chicken ever and the sauce was absolutely delicious. (I wish I had ordered a second to take home). The pizza had such tasty ingredients, especially the bacon. We are excited to try a different one next time! All of the portion sizes were on point. My cosmo was very nice and pretty. My husband got a bottled Stella because he didn’t want to spend $12 on a draft beer. When I checked over the menu, I enjoyed the variety but did feel the beers were the only overpriced items. My only real negative is about what happened with our waitress. She was very helpful and nice, but after she took our dinner order, she did not return until we were practically done eating. We could clearly hear and see her chatting it up with a couple seated at the bar, so we were in her line of sight. I didn’t feel it was appropriate to flag her down or get out of my seat, but maybe I should have. We were a bit annoyed that she didn’t notice our waters were completely empty and we wanted a second round of drinks, but so much time had passed and we were full at that point, so we didn’t order anything else.

First time at Noble Goat this past weekend …. and it won’t be the last! Great service, atmosphere, and food! The sour dough bread is heavenly and the octopus was a pleasantly delicious surprise. My main meal was the pasta with lamb and that was good too!

I will give this place two stars as the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was very nice. Overall, the food was so disappointing. We sent back the little goat cheese truffle ravioli's as they were so salty we couldn't eat them. The arancini was ok, it was salty and very smoky. I can appreciate the grilled chicken wings but they were again so salty and just lacking in texture. We ended up asking for the bill and leaving to go have dinner somewhere else. I wish they would have taken the ravioli's off the bill as we didn't eat them at all, but they didn't. I should have pressed for it but honestly just wanted to get out of there. I think the place has so much potential but it wasn't cutting it for us.

Started off with some delicious martinis! The One Knight in Bangkok, and the Start Your Engines! The whipped Ricotta and Sourdough bread were fresh and creamy! For entree I of course had to go with wagyu burger which met and exceeded expectations! Highly recommend as they have delicious cocktails and just as spectacular of a menu! Highly recommend and will be going back!

We were really excited to try this place but unfortunately it just missed the mark. We got the octopus appetizer to share, and while it was plated beautifully, the taste left a lot to be desired. There was no seasoning at all and the sauce just tasted like nothing. It desperately needed some salt and citrus. It was also disappointing to pay $20 for 2 little tentacles and some romaine lettuce underneath. The entrees were a mixed bag for us. The trout was honestly delicious and was by far the best meal we had here. The sauces mixed together well and the fish was perfectly cooked. My only complaint from this meal was that I wanted a bit more for the price. The lamb on the other hand was not good. It once again tasted very bland. It needed salt or spices or anything. After spending $94 on 3 dishes and only one was good I can only give 2 stars. It's really a shame; I've been so excited for this place to open up and it ended up being a huge letdown.

So excited for Downingtown to have this lovely new restaurant. We loved everything from the atmosphere to the unique dishes which used many seasonal local ingredients which I always appreciate. The cheese board had great variety and quality. The octopus was cooked perfectly and the autumn risotto was flavorful with so much complex flavor. Ketlee (sp?) our server was friendly, attentive, and very helpful with recommendations. Can’t wait to come back :)

Noble Goat is a welcome new addition to our regular restaurant "go-to" places. We love a place where we can feel comfortable, have a pleasurable staff professionally provide conscientious service, and have a menu selection that makes you want to keep coming back to try the next thing on it! Truly one of our new favorites in the area and we hope it continues it's fine quality standard!

My experience at the noble goat was truly incredible! The happy hour menu is absolutely perfect for some quick delicious value bites and amazing drink options! The bartender Carly is extremely attentive, delivers incredible service, and she makes the best drinks you’ll ever get the opportunity to taste! Absolutely recommend the espresso martinis without a doubt the best in Chester county hands down! The food is absolutely exquisite between the appetizers, the pizzas and the entrees there is truly something for the entire family to enjoy! Some of my favorites being the Arancini appetizer, The Wagyu cheeseburger , and the lamb and date sausage pizza. The food is upscale and so delicious for incredible value! Perfect for your family, a get together with friends, or a celebration to treat yourself and your loved ones!

FINALLY a great place close to home. Charming, with a slightly mid century modern vibe. Not pictured were an amazing Sweater Weater cocktail and Cuban Old Fashioned. Service was great and every bite delightful. Beets were bright and pickled, cioppino rich and decadent, octopus so tender and savory ... I had the lobster malfada pasta dish and it was divine. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu!

Spent a special Valentine's Day here and it was lovely. The place is intimate and pretty. It is currently a BYOB but the drinks were great. The food was delicious and the service was great. It is located in a new apartment development area so I'm not sure about parking. We were fortunate to get a parking space right by the door but I did see a parking lot behind the building. We enjoyed our time here and I would definitely go back.

They have very good ambiance and friendly staff and you don't wait long to be served. Much variety in the dinner selections and hard to get a reservation as intimate size and newish place with much local curiousity.

Our second visit here and it's quickly become one of our Downingtown favorites. We've had most of the menu by now and I highly recommend the trout dinner and the crab dip in a skillet appetizer. Staff and owner are always friendly and very approachable

Going to a restaurant within the first month of opening is never the best idea, but alas I went. They're still getting their sea legs for sure. Had to wait 20 mint to be sat after reservation time and then were told we need to put in our entrees quickly because they needed to turn the table. As for the food, overpriced and kinda underwhelming. The risotto was swimming in oil and didn't have much flavor. The beets were good. The pizza was also good very crispy, but small for the price. Overall, would maybe give this place another chance in a couple months, but in no rush to return.

They've only been open a month but the food and service was outstanding. You can also bring your own spirits until their liquid license arrives. We had the grilled romaine, Noble sausage pizza and our son had the Waygu beef burger. Everything was delicious!

I don't usually write reviews of brand new restaurants, but we had a great experience so why not!? We enjoyed our meal and had attentive service. For starters we ordered the chicken liver mousse, grilled octopus, tempura cauliflower, and grilled shrimp. The chicken liver was not what I expected texture wise, but it was super flavorful. I had to have the octopus after seeing it constantly in my Instagram feed for weeks. Luckily it did not disappoint! The grilled octopus was the highlight of the whole meal. It was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The cauliflower tempura, however, lacked seasoning. This was also true of the main course fried chicken (which otherwise would have been a great main dish). Our main suggestion to the kitchen would be don't forget the salt in your breaded items. We loved the cornbread side with the chicken though! The steak entree was our favorite of the two entrees ordered. We appreciated that it was sliced and really enjoyed the accompanying salsa verde. It's worth noting that Noble Goat is currently BYOB while they await a liquor license, so it's a great time to go check it out! Overall this is a welcome addition to the borough!

Menu has a lot of unique dishes all sounding very good. The risotto was very good. One of the best writers we ever had, top notch. Will definitely go back.

What an exciting new addition to downingtown! The food was spectacular and the bartender Carly was awesome. I can't wait to return and try more entrees!

Great food and Atmosphere. Son and I enjoyed the short rib mole. Welcome addition to Downingtown area!
