As the name indicates, The Goat on Grand River originally planned to open in the Brookfield Plaza, right off Grand River Ave. However, that plan didn’t quite pan out. Fortunately, this tapas and speakeasy restaurant featuring 1920s vibes and farm-to-table food is still on its way to building a brick and mortar location.

While the team behind the concept hasn’t made any announcement regarding where the restaurant will be, they did confirm that The Goat on Grand River is set to open in early 2024. Right now, Chef Dustin Morell and his team are actively assessing each neighborhood in Lansing to find the most suitable location for this sophisticated dining experience.

Led by Chef Dustin, The Goat on Grand River will be a tapas and speakeasy restaurant highlighting inclusion and culinary excellence. The menu will feature seasonal items utilizing trending ingredients, tapping into various cuisines including Mexican, soul food, and more. 

Those wanting a sneak peek into what the restaurant will offer can also order delivery and catering off their menu, featuring fresh ingredients sourced from local farms. Until a new location is chosen, the Goat team will also be participating in the South Lansing Farmers Market every Thursday.

At the time of this coverage, Chef Dustin did not respond to What Now Detroit’s request for commentary.
