    Some dishes were good and some were regular. The burgers were ok, but the pasta was so overcooked that after one minute on the plate it turned into a gluey paste. The drinks were good. Service was nice and they let us eat peacefully. I loved that they did not bring the check while we were still eating, as most restaurants in the US do. I appreciate when they wait till the customer asks for it. I would give it a second chance. Loved the atmosphere

    I cannot count the number of visits we've had to The Girl and the Goat, but it continues to be a favorite for both personal and professional dining. I brought three colleagues, who have never been, to the restaurant for dinner. One diner is vegetarian, but there are menu offerings and options available to provide them with enough to eat. All three were quite impressed with the food. My only complaint would be our table was right next to the kitchen, which can be loud. However, we made due, and had an enjoyable meal. Service is always very good, and the cocktails are fun. If you're interested in dining, make sure you book way ahead, as there is almost no chance to get a table day of.
