Blue Goat - Royal Oak (MI)

5 /5 Kristen Rockwell: Checked out Blue Goat this week and I left quite satisfied. Everyone was very welcoming and attentive when we arrived. I started with a cucumber mocktail that was crisp and refreshing, perfect for the hot day. The beet salad was beyond my expectations, beets, goat cheese, and micro greens with a light herb vinaigrette. The flavors complimented each other so well and made me wanting more. The chicken gyro is more than your simple coney gyro. The spiced tzatziki was the star of the gyro! And once you are finished with your meal they bring you a unique postcard to send to anyone you wish, such a thoughtful creative idea. Would I recommend you to go visit Blue Goat? of course! Its set up perfectly for date night, girls lunch out, or even a so well deserved self-care afternoon with your book, drink, food, and great vibes at the bar.

5 /5 Jessica Bannigan: The atmosphere is cute, I especially liked that the front windows fully open. We did not have a reservation but arrived around 6:30P on a Friday night and were seated right away. The tables for two are placed quite close together, which made it a bit difficult to hear each other at times. The lights continue to dim as the night went on and the music sounded like it was getting louder. The food and drinks were good, a bit over priced for what you are getting in my opinion.

5 /5 Héctor Montañez: Delicious Greek-inspired dishes served in a stylish, modern setting—perfect for a date night! The cocktails are bold, flavorful, and beautifully crafted, and the menu offers plenty of tempting choices. Big shoutout to our bartender/server Langston, who made the night extra fun with his friendly energy. We’ll definitely be coming back for both the food and the atmosphere!

5 /5 Sybil Hunter: The atmosphere is sleek, modern and fun! Service was superlative! The food was a cornucopia of delightful flavors and textures! We even enjoyed the octopus. (The puzzles are a fun diversion - good luck.)

3 /5 Nicole McFaul: Saturday night before 6:15 PM arrival. We were told it would be about a 25 minute wait for a bar seat or a table. We put down our name for a table. Try to be conservative on seating estimates. We are seated in less than 5 minutes after getting a text, our table was ready. Sophia is waiting on us. She recommended Souvlaki. I told her I don’t eat red meat, asked if I could get more veggies instead of the bed of rice the meat skewers were place on, she said there are no substitutions. If I want more veggies and no rice, it would be an add on. She then recommended lamp chops, I reminded her against that I don’t eat red meat. Why wouldn’t you just give a few more zucchini slices instead of rice? How cheap are they? Lost a $28 entree order. Ordered beet salad, Greek salad, calamari, octopus, chicken gyro, crispy feta and phyllo and Greek salad with grilled chicken on it ($7 add on). $113.42 Discount if you pay with cash. The octopus is super tender. Arugula salad was simple, but good. Hummus is flat and tasteless to me. This young judgy man came over to our table to tell me that taking a top view of the calamari dish is a bad picture, that I should take from different angles. I less than amusedly let the staff know that I always take at least 3 pics of food at different angles. The calamari is slightly crispy, but more heavily breaded and quite greasy for me. Lots of tentacles pieces in the bowl, left them for my hubby, since he doesn’t mind them much. The feta phyllo was so-so, not so special and rather bland. It’s a long hunk of feta wrapped in phyllo and that’s about it. The Greek salad was ok. The mixed greens are all on the bottom and are full leaves, so a bit tough to get at to cut down to eat. The beet salad was lack luster, the whipped goat cheese was not as good as actual goat cheese for me. The chicken gyro was blah, my husband wasn’t loving the big chunks of pickles in it too much and it only had a bit of chicken in it. It’s not anything special, wasn’t what he expected and rather flavorless. The fries were as expected and slightly seasoned. Service was average. It’s rather pricey if you think about it being Greek inspired food and costing over $100 for one entree and several starters.
