Best Date Night Restaurants in Kankakee

We were celebrating our anniversary and it was well worth the trip from aurora. Crab cakes were the best we ever had. The twin lobsters with mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious, grilled to perfection. The garlic crusted rack of lamb with the mashed cauliflower was to die for, had a side house salad. Just a lovely first experience. Now all the construction was a bit much, but that wasn’t the fault of the establishment. We definitely will be back again!

Fabulous Greek tavern restaurant nestled in downtown Joiliet

The food was great! Our server was friendly and fun. Great dinner, amazing 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.

Always a great expereince, in a fantastic, historic setting. A true gem.
