The Scene
Red walls, velvet curtains and '50s vintage lamps make this Phinney neighborhood haunt comfortable in a funky way. Owner Erin Fetridge welcomes guests warmly, and there's a wait only on weekend nights, when the gracious waitstaff is overextended.
The Food
Dishes highlight local, seasonal ingredients with simple, savory preparations and generous portions. A nicely dressed beet salad or savory curry mussels are meals in themselves, and roasted cauliflower with foraged mushrooms and a toasted walnut vinaigrette is a great primer for more to come. Local wild salmon comes delectably paired with Bluebird Grains faro, grilled corn and roasted cherry tomatoes and the duck breast served aside grilled eggplant is more than enough to share. Desserts are a delight, especially the large creme brulee with its crackling sugar lid.

Stumbling Goat Bistro was truly one of my most favorite dining experiences to date. The service was FABULOUS. Our waiter was knowledgeable, passionate about the food he serving, and just an overall jolly man. His joy for food was contagious. He was attentive but not over bearing. The food is simple - but so unique! And the menu rotates depending on the season. It was so so delicious. This is a perfect spot for a first date or a 10 year anniversary. And really, I would go here alone too. It is such a fabulous environment. Not only does the food taste wonderful, you feel like you're doing something good for your body and community. WELL DONE Stumbling Goat. You guys are the best.

Why is it that I am so good at reviewing places when we're out of town but I'm so lax when it comes to great spots in my own town? Well, I apologize to Stumbling Goat because this review is long overdue. We're in the neighborhood and have walked by Stumbling Goat more times that I care to admit without going inside. We finally made a reservation and ventured in for a proper culinary experience recently, and I am so glad that we did! The ambiance is wonderful, cozy and romantic without seeming overdone. At our romantic table for two, it felt like we were the only two people on the world (but that we did indeed have a great chef with us). The staff was helpful but didn't hover and every part of our meal was delectable....that's hard to find! Now that we know it's in the neighborhood, we save our pennies for every opportunity to return to Stumbling Goat.

My husband and I felt instantly welcomed by the hostess and our waiter. He chose an excellent wine for us. Our meals were extremely tasty, perfectly seasoned, the meat perfectly cooked. My husband pointed out it's a good sign when you don't have to tell them how you want your meat, it just comes out right. Even though we were stuffed, we indulged in creme brulee and it was sublime. This is now one of our favorite restaurants.
