Let me tell you, everything about this place is awesome: the goat themed decor, the friendly bartenders and wait staff, the owners who great you as you walk in! The food and drinks are reasonable and outstanding. Ever hear of Hot Honey Pecan Wings?! My initial thought was it was a strange combo...but it was awesome! Specials just about every night and live music on Fridays. The Funky Goat may just be the G.O.A.T.! Go there!

After attempting to come 2 different times, I finally made it again! I hadn't been in over a year…read more To drink: I recommend the bushwhacker an Aperol Spritz, or a Blood Orange Margarita. The bushwhacker is more creamy with a chocolate drizzle and is not as boozy as other places on the Lake. The Aperol Spritz transports me straight back to Austria or Italy! Delicious if you like grapefruit and very refreshing.The Blood Orange Marg is unique. All the above are the perfect refreshments for a hot afternoon at Lake Martin. This place is always packed in the summer, if you can find a slip or table! Definitely recommend getting a table asap and looking at the menu later. Also note that they have tricky hours, so definitely worth checking Google beforehand. For food: We ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp (more appetizer size than entree), the queso, and Grouper Bites. The shrimp were small but tasty. The queso was large and in my humble opinion could've been served with more chips. The Grouper Bites were very small fried pieces of fish-- a little overpriced imho. Overall great afternoon snacking.

What a beautiful place. From the parking lot to the dining rooms, this restaurant will blow you…read moreaway. The architecture and the staff, from the moment you step through the door, knock it out of the park. The Garden dining room is hands down my favorite spot I've had lunch at in the Auburn/Opelika area. The time and energy invested in creating that environment doesn't go unnoticed, and it shows in every detail. Environment and service define a dining experience. Food plays a huge role too, of course, but if you're already on edge from an underwhelming atmosphere or inattentive staff, it's hard to fully enjoy a meal no matter how good the food is. This place nails all three: ambiance, service, and food. I also love that the menu is handcrafted and changes with the seasons. It keeps things fresh and gives you a reason to keep coming back. I've been maybe half a dozen times now, and every visit has been enjoyable and unique in its own way. The flavor combinations on paper may sound odd to some but trust them. The food has always been incredible.

You'd be hard pressed to find a better bathroom east of the Mississippi. All the folks who work here are super friendly and wear nice outfits. We ate at the market because my wife didn't make a reservation at the real restaurant. If you eat outside in the summer, it's obviously hotter than satan's armpit. Prepare to sweat. My smash burger was spot on. I thought maybe the beef could stand alone better with less accompaniment. My wife's BLT was light and refreshing. I'd get that next time. You should most definitely try Botanic. This note is for the owner/management, if you read these. The place need some process improvements. It's confusing for a first time guest because of the flow patterns and dearth of signs. The waiters from the Market have to walk all around the place to find the right table to deliver food. It's inefficient. There has to be a better way.

It's a bit of a hike getting up the stairs to the place but it is worth it as you feel transported back in time. Well decorated with great music. Great place to chill and relax from the summer heat. Will definitely return next time I'm in town.
