The Lazy Goat

Dining on the Reedy River with the person you love is even better when you’re enjoying a meal prepared by Chef Beau Owens. Save room for dessert because Chef Tania Harris creates desserts you will not want to share!

Their menu features Mediterranean-inspired dishes and some of the best Sangria in the Upstate. If more casual cuisine in an upscale setting is what you are looking for, they also have wood-fired pizza on the menu.
