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.

    A little disappointed about table assigned initially and later placed at community table. We made reservations… Haley was awesome and overall service was good. Food was delicious.

    The service was outstanding, our glasses were constantly full and there was never a long wait for our next plate (but we also didn't feel rushed}. And the food was amazing.

    Eclectic meets Rustic! Loved the scene…. Service was on point. The goat old fashioned is a must….delightfully pleased. Also, curry fried pork belly was superb!! Try the grilled skirt steak and beets as well both excellently presented and just Yum.

    Incredible food and waitstaff! Everything was so unique, we had the focaccia, empanadas, pork shank, and peanut butter chocolate dessert plus the peach tea-quila, goat-fashioned and the espresso martini. All delicious including every side dish and sauce that came along with the meals. The family style is such a fun experience and the causal yet classy vibe is fun. They made our anniversary even more special! Would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to spend a little extra for some extra high quality food!

    The food was simply amazing…as was the service and overall the atmosphere. I will say that I’d almost take off a star for the jam packed tables (literally couldn’t squeeze between them without pulling the entire table out)… very hard to carry on a conversation when the table next to you is so close - literally packed like sardines. That aside, the food and service mostly made up for the logistics. Get the pork shank and thank me later. Other standouts were the hamachi and green beans (these were outstanding). Definitely delivered on flavor and as I mentioned, the service was over the top!
