Little Goat

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.

Delicious Mediterranean food (from someone that doesn’t love Mediterranean food!) Every dish we had was better than the next. Jack was an amazing server.

Excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommend the chicken and trout mains! Our compliments to the chef and the staff!

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!

My family and I had dinner here in August when we were here for my son's graduation. The restaurant felt very inviting and the vibe was classy yet cozy. Our server was very attentive and made good recommendations for appetizers, entrees, and dessert. The pasta was some of the best I have had in a long time. The salad and appetizers were very fresh and tasty. The portions were good size and we left very satisfied. We will definitely go back if we visit Rhinebeck again!

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.

My wife and I had a fantastic meal here while vacationing in the area. The space is beautiful and welcoming, inside and out. Our food and drink was fantastic across the board - interesting flavors, extremely fresh, and well presented. The portions were also very generous. All meat dishes had the farms identified where the animals were raised, which was much appreciated. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in town!

Food and wine are amazing and creative. Sometimes they are a little under staffed and things take too long but otherwise a wonderful place! Pricey though! They should provide larger glasses of wine. The sparkling water is insanely expensive, it’s true, but it’s also the best sparkling water I’ve had.

The best part of my trip! Great coffee with a tahini chocolate chip cookie…..yes please! All the staff were beyond helpful and kind! A must try if you are in Rhinebeck!

Very nice ambience. Food was great. Service feels more NYC if you know what that means. Hopefully they improve in the future.

Very positive experience at Little Goat. Tyler, our server, was very friendly and competent. The place is lively without being too noisy. The food is delicious without being too fussy. The shared mezze appetizer was very nice (we had to ask for additional flat bread because it was not enough for four). The salads were all flavorful and creative, especially the cauliflower salad. The gnudi was fair, nothing to write home about. As a pescatarian my choices were limited. The chicken (two people in my party had chicken) came surprisingly with no sides and no option for sides. All good, but probably there is room for slight improvements, all to be expected considering that Little Goat is a brand new establishment.

I had been to this restaurant under prior management and had been disappointed so I was curious to revisit. The food was a lot better than I had expected, the service good (not great), and the ambience was very attractive with the temporary noise leve: a group of 5 sitting next to us seemed unaware that their volume made it impossible for anyone near them to hear themselves speak. Luckily, they left after half an hour, and from that point, our meal was very enjoyable. The carrot “course” was particularly delicious and generous in proportion. The trout was Perfectly cooked w a fabulous crispy skin on top. Unfortunately, my glass of white wine was not Chilled when it first came, nor was the new bottle. They brought ice. The friendly waitress had to be prompted to offer us dessert And refill our tiny water Glasses . The bathroom had run out of toilet paper. The lighting and atmosphere was very attractive.

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…

Nice atmosphere with decent food, but the service is slow as molasses. Came for lunch and had trouble getting our waiter’s attention for drinks, to order, for our check… It was also very cold in the dining room with all servers having to wear fleece jackets, heavy sweaters, etc… I felt badly for them.

All the bakery items look beautiful but I tried the fig cardamom scone and there's no specific taste of anything in the scone. It just tastes like the oil that is used for the scone. There's no flavor. They can do better. I also had the mushroom eggplant sandwich and it was pretty good but very messy. The oil from the spicy sauce just was all over the place. Not to mention how small the scone was.

Food was okay, taste good but nothing special. Low rating because the portions were tiny for the price. We ordered a salad and it was like an appetizer portion, with a few leaves. It looked on the menu like it would be a main and was priced as such.

First time I walked in to this place 2/20/26 to check it out. Entered seeing 3 young women working at the counter. No welcome greeting. No smiles. No words spoken. Just eye rolls and stares as I’m trying to find a menu to order something. I asked for a cup of coffee and sat down. Only two other people were inside the cafeteria- like atmosphere. Coffee was good but I’ll never go back. I’ll stick with Samuel’s around the corner where they are friendly and welcoming.

Went into Little Goat expecting a cozy spot and a good meal, but it ended up being one of the most uncomfortable dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. It was absolutely freezing inside. People were still wearing their coats and hats at their tables, and even our server mentioned how cold it was and was visibly shivering. I asked the long-haired manager about the temperature and he was incredibly dismissive and rude. He insisted the heat was “as high as it goes,” even though the thermostat nearby read 45 degrees, which is honestly wild for a restaurant. Between the cold and the attitude, the whole place felt really unwelcoming. We didn’t stay as long as we normally would and definitely didn’t enjoy the experience. Very disappointing.

Walked in for a coffee and pastry. The guy working (afternoon of 02/22/26) was EXTREMELY rude to my significant other just because she was looking around just to get the feel of the place. His snotty "may I help you?" To her and the follow up with "that area is off limits" (tables that were set) were VERY unwelcoming so we decided to spend our money a couple doors down at the tea shop was money well spent. The girls in there were very friendly and outgoing. The little Goat will never see a dime of our money.
