Girl & the Goat opened in 2010 with the goal of offering a menu of bold, flavorful dishes designed to share in a fun and lively atmosphere. To complement the experience, we offer a curated selection of wines from around the world, focusing on small producers, along with a rotating list of craft beers and a playful cocktail menu crafted by our bartenders. The ever-changing menu, driven by locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, features favorites like sautéed green beans, roasted oysters, crispy short ribs, and confit goat belly. While reservations are encouraged for the dining room, our bar welcomes walk-ins, adventurers, and those who prefer spontaneity.

    My entire experience was wonderful. The staff was attentive, helpful and offered input and suggestions. The food was amazing. I had the goat empanadas and green beans. Green beans will never be the same after!

    The food more than met our expectations. Culinary delight. The service was outstanding. Our waiter, Trevor, was superb and gave us an extraordinary experience. Our only criticism is the noise level was ridiculously loud. We could not hear each other across a small table. Please turn the music down and maybe somehow put sound dampening material around the room.

    Finally I completed trying all her 4 restaurants. We love the ambiance. One of my colleague couldn’t have his eyes off the cute painting on the wall. The foods were outstanding. We started with Nans & dips. Carrot hummus is really good. Crispy shallots added different twist to other places. Brussels sprouts were amazing, love peanuts vinaigrettes and had enough acid. Crispy empanadas with moist goat filling. Basted sea bass was cooked perfectly. And last is the pork shank moist, super flavorful and had nice crispy crust. We were happy with our dinner.

    Amazing food. Great creative menu. Service was lacking. Plates and silverware should be remarked between courses. Server should refill water more than myself.
