We went for dinner in early January with some other restaurant friends of ours and tried some of the new items on the menu. Pretty much everyone in our party of four enjoyed the cheese platter (appetizer) and we all definitely enjoyed the desserts but there were mixed reviews on the entrees.
I learned that evening that most restaurants make their lamb dishes in advance and then just warm them to order. This usually results in a dish that is usually a little more done than most people prefer, particularly if you like rare to medium rare. The dish was still good but it wasn't to my friend's cooking preference.
Overall though Stumbling Goat has provided exceptional experiences with regard to food. I'm a BIG fan of their roast chicken which has become a favorite for many of the locals up on Phinney Ridge, including me. Salads are tasty and the dressings never overwhelm the veggies included. Usually it's a nice pairing of lettuce, fruits, nuts, and/or cheeses depending on which salad you order. At this dining event I got the wilted arugula salad and it was good.
