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.

    The experience from the moment we walked in was great. We were welcomed with such enthusiasm and kindness. The hosts and servers created a comfortable, fun, and friendly environment. I am so glad I decided to spend my birthday weekend here. My friend and I will definitely come back.

    Sitting near windows you'll need to dress warm. Otherwise everything else was impressive from the suggestions to the prompt service to smell of delicious food when you walk in the door!!!

    It was a limited menu which was disappointing. The naan, hamachi crudo, goat belly, and pork shank were delicious. Some of the mussels tasted like the zoo although the sauce was good.

    Came for restaurant week and we enjoyed the food. The hamachi poke, shrimp salad and pork belly noodles were our favorites. We added on the goat empeñadas which I would not do again, I thought they were pretty plain. Our server didn’t do much but take our drink order and bring our bill. I felt we were rushed out. Our reservation was for 6:15 and we were out by 7:00- 7:15. Our server did not ask if we wanted another drink, nor could we have due to the rush. At one point we had three courses (shishito pepper, pork belly and empanada) on our small two top at once. The food was good, but I would not probably come back and spend this kind of money with the rushed service.

    From the moment we walked in, the smells of amazing food filled the air. Our server was excellent, made great recommendations and everything arrived rather quickly, even with the restaurant nearly full. We would definitely return if we're ever in Chicago again.

    While the food was fantastic, the service was less than accommodating. My girlfriend and I visited for our 4th anniversary and for restaurant week. Besides a quick congratulations at the door, there was no mention from our server of either our anniversary or restaurant week. Online the restaurant week menu stated that it was gluten free; however, our server when asked about the menu told my partner that it wasn’t worth exploring because of her celiac. When we asked if she would check with the kitchen she just moved on trying to get our drinks. I then asked to do the menu and was told the entire table has to participate. The one star is not for our server, but is for the gentlemen who cleared our table and was constantly refilling our waters. As far as ambiance, the space is lovely. Your tables in some sections are wayyy to close together. It might as well be a communal dining table. We were satisfied with the food, but disappointed with everything else considering our frequent experiences at the other sister restaurants.
