A familiar Montgomery Plaza location gets another tenant, and early response has been mixed but mostly favorable.

Like any new restaurant, Goat & Vine is still working out the kinks, but we’ve had more hits than misses along with the friendly service.

Unlike earlier tenants that had a bar-and-grill vibe, Goat & Vine appeals to a broader audience with its menu of shareables, generous appetizers, housemade pastas and substantial entrees, along with a smart cocktail and wine list.

The interior is snazzy, making lunch feel extra special.
