The Gray Goose

The Gray Goose is a quaint restaurant in an old house nestled in the heart of Ligonier. Right behind the restaurant is a stream, and you can often find duck's and other wildlife floating by! The restaurant used to be an old B & B, and you can see and feel the charm as soon as you step foot in the doors.The menu at The Gray Goose is small but mighty. The service was a little slow for the amount of people dining, but our waitress was friendly and checked in on us. The restaurant also has specials for dinner every night as well as a menu for lunch! My friend and I enjoyed the lunch menu, and here's what we got:[Crab Toast]: This dish was pretty flavorful. You could taste the fresh crab, and it mixed well with the fresh taste of the avocado. This only came with 3 small toasts, and the price was pretty steep for the small amount.[Hummus Tasting]: This platter came with grape leaves, hummus, pita triangles, Olives & feta, and peppadew peppers. This was refreshing and good, and I loved the peppers with the hummus. A great bite.[Beets Salad with Salmon]: Once again, the salmon was small for the price of the dish. It was tasty but a little under cooked for my liking. The orange-vanilla vinaigrette left something to be desired as I really didn't taste the flavors. Overall, this dish was a tad underwhelming for me.[Tuna Taki Taki]: My friend had this dish. She seemed to enjoy it, but the jalapeño overtook the flavor of the dish, and she had to ask for more soy sauce to counteract the heat.Overall, this restaurant is a quaint little spot near Ligonier. In the summer and fall, I imagine their views are amazing and calming. The prices are a little steep for what you get, but overall, it was a tasty spot.

A landmark with a beautiful setting and yes it's a museum! Heath was our amazing bartender who took the utmost care of our group of ten! A picture perfect setting! We enjoyed delish apps of breaded fried mozzarella, truffle fries and a shrimp app lightly coated and very tasty. Can't wait to go back. All staff was wonderful! On way to ice fest in Ligonier!

We were here for a private party and the food was so yummy! The tempura veggies were my favorite and everyone at my table loved the filet crostini. The display of the food was excellent as well. The place is very quaint and cozy with a bar that overlooks a pond. We will be back with the kids for regular dinner!

We just had a fabulous brunch this morning at the Gray Goose. This was one of the best brunches I've had in a while. My daughter and I chose the Poached Crab Eggs Benedict which was really good. I liked that they added avocado and almonds to it. My son had the pancakes which were huge! Almost covered the entire plate! My husband had the Big Breakfast and it lived up to its namesake. The home fries were really special, made with fingerling potatoes so they were very crisp yet soft inside. Everyone thought the food was good and of a high quality. The jam was even homemade that they served with the toast!Our waitress was very attentive. She kept the water, coffee and iced tea all filled at the right time. We sat in the dining room with the stone fireplace. The whole restaurant is nicely decorated and clean. Including the restrooms. They even had nice simple Easter decorations in the entryway. I have been here many times and each time it seems to improve in the quality of the food. Kudos to the chef!

This is one of my favorite places for brunch. I always sit at the bar and Karen is phenomenal. She has great recommendations and is seriously the kindest and nicest person. The food is awesome--the smash burger was incredible and get it animal style for a taste of California. The monte cristo sandwich was delish and the big breakfast was just what my son had in mind. Pancake, eggs, bacon and fruit. I'd say that it's a little pricey, but in my opinion, well worth it.The pond in the back adds to the charm. Inside could use a little sprucing up, but I can live with it as I love everything else!

We came here the night before but they were too busy to accommodate us. It seems the area may have been hit with the aftermath of the pandemic where service workers have moved onto other things. We decided we would make reservations for the next day for lunch. And we did come back around 11:00 a.m. We got the half garden salad, PEI mussels, and burger and fries. Our friends also got the burger and fries and lobster roll. We all thought the fries were limpy and would have preferred crispier fries. The friend with the lobster roll didn't finish her meal. She thought it didn't taste fresh. I got the mussels. Though it was a large portion, the mussels were very tiny. The broth had no taste. It needed more flavor.Service was definitely friendly and was the best part of our mediocre meal. Wish the food held up to the lovely establishment.

What a great place. We drove from Churchill looking for a cool dinner spot. What a find. Food was presented very well. Best tasting and great portions. Service was spectacular. Will return soon.

We were in search of a good place to grab brunch/lunch around Ligonier and thankfully ended up selecting The Gray Goose. We were the only table there for a while on a Saturday morning. The bartender was also our server and he did a great job, including taking a few pics of our brunch bunch and telling us about the history of the place.The Big Breakfast is GINORMOUS!!! It needs a new name reflective of its mind numbing largeness. I hunkered down and dug in, pledging to finish it all. It took some real doing, let me tell you, but every bite was so delicious and layered with flavors. The potatoes did not look like much. Don't be fooled. They are just sublime as was the freshly made wheat berry bread and super fresh eggs. The bacon was so perfectly crisp and yet thickly cut so it made for a great bite with some egg mixed in.But wait! There's more! Those pancakes were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside with tremendous flavor that was enhanced by the really yummy syrup and butter. Everyone else enjoyed their brunch items too. It's pricey but worth it.

My wife and I had an enjoyable evening at the Gray Goose. The restaurant has a very homey colonial tavern atmosphere. We started with their fried rock shrimp special. It was delicious. It had a sweet bbq taste, combined with some jalapeño heat, all balanced with a yummy sour cream dipping sauce. We then split the Caesar salad, which was good but not great. For our main coarse, my wife ordered a crab cake. Like the salad, it was good but not great. It had a nice flavor, but had a bit too much breading. My meal, however, was outstanding. I got the short rib pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The ragu was spot on. I completely cleaned my plate - I couldn't get enough of it! Combine the good meal with a friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere, and the result is a very satisfied customer who will be back.

Great setting and great food! We usually eat at the bar and look at the lake. Everyone is so friendly!
