I went there twice. Once for dinner with my wife and daughter, and we sat in the dining room. The…read moreother time was with a friend and we sat in the bar area. See, Grumpy Goat consists of two indoor dining areas and an outdoor seating area within a slightly larger building also that has a locker room, golf shop, and meeting room. The food ranges from pub food, to sandwiches, to flatbreads, to great steaks. Both times, the bar area was louder and people tend to focus on drinks and appetizers there. There's a separate dining room beyond the bar area where full dinners seem more common. Given that my 2 trips were in November and December, don't have a good sense for the outside area. I could just see that there are several tables overlooking the golf course. On certain nights, they have live music. Great variety of drinks, appetizers, sandwiches/burgers, and entrees. Can go inexpensive, or can get a filet mignon and spent a lot. Filling choices. Prices are quite reasonable.

What we ordered: * Steak Hash- my husband said this is his new favorite breakfast meal. This is a man who loves breakfast over any other meal. Order the steak hash, you will not be disappointed. * Piquant sausage crostata- I absolutely loved this dish. It was bursting with flavor in each bite. Definitely had a kick of spice, which I love. I think we have found our new Sunday brunch spot! Thank you Chef Patrick and Kathleen for giving us wonderful food and a beautiful atmosphere to enjoy our early Sundays.

The menu isn't overwhelming which is nice. They have a variety of plates but not enough of a choice to make you look for days. We ordered cocktails, which were nice and strong, but also refreshing. The open air made it feel like we were in a vacation resort. Our server was polite and would go and check about anything we had questions about. Real top notch fella. We started with raw oysters which were good. I ordered the gnudi (gnocchi) with red sauce and beef short rib (server's recommendations). My spouse had the lab chops. We both loved our meals. The presentation and flavors were all there. I think it's a nice place to go to on occasions because it's a bit more expensive than I expected, but the flavors and meals made it worth the cost. Staff was great, space was clean and airy, food was great.

The skillet-less skillet with over medium eggs came out rather fast. I liked the food and everything was enjoyed. Nothing stood out or was over the top. I had plain pancakes so I could evaluate them without being distracted by extra toppings. The pancakes were alright and toppings would probably punch them up. I think this can be a nice stop for a solid breakfast.

You can tell who are regulars, the staff is very friendly towards them calling them by name. Parking is not an issue here. My server was very friendly and checked on me a couple of times during my meal. The food portions are very generous! I ordered the chorizo skillet with a side of pancakes. In fact, I would say they overdid it with the hash browns in my skillet. I only made a small dent in the food and had to take the rest home. It was enough for my lunch meal. I will note that the coffee was terrible - don't bother ordering it.

The food was absolutely amazing we had the smoked deviled eggs, oysters and the pears with blue cheese and toasted pistachios all were delicious!! We also had the lobster pasta wow on the sauce and they were NOT shy with the lobster! Which also was fresh and delicious! We then spilt the sea bass fish which they spilt up and brought us out our own dishes, and the owner and head chef delivered to our table himself which was such an awesome touch! And he's was so kind and wonderful to talk to! And then came the dessert which was the butterscotch pudding.......WOW I'm pretty sure this was made in Heaven! Carson was our waiter and was wonderful too!! He is delightful and very knowledgeable of the entire menu and all the drinks I'm a very picky wine drinker and he gave me the perfect recommendation after listening to me. The overall experience is truly one of my favorites!! And the ambience is wonderful too!! We loved the open kitchen as well!! If you haven't been, GO!! You will not be disappointed!!

I would definitely say that this restaurant is leading a new charge for Saint Charles as far as the culinary experience that we're looking for when we go out for date night or girls night out. Very elevated very refined very unique. You've got to try it out!

I had never been here and am not familiar with the area, and Maple & Hash seemed to be a great place where my friends and I could yap comfortably and enjoy a great meal! I didn't take pics because I was too busy yapping but definitely want to give this place 5 stars. I'll happily recommend it to anyone who's looking for a breakfast/brunch spot in the area!
