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.

    Are you kidding me!?! This place always delivers beyond expectations, while still be unfussy and full of flavor. How special that this place exists and continues to go above and beyond. The green beans, the pork shank, the mousse, the sea bass, the poke… not one thing was a dud. It was so good. Book it and go… if you’re disappointed, I’m gonna guess you’re a disappointment…

    I wanted it to be great, but it was just good IMO. The main reason for my 3-star (not 5) score is that all the food we tried (which were all recommendations from multiple workers) just had too much sauce. We got the green beans, bass, pork belly, goat confit, and coconut rum dessert. The sauces were all good, but they took away from the protein being the star of the show. We also got lucky and were seated at the chef's table. They even made it out to be a more elevated experience and hinted at "the chef usually sends out the chickpea app on the house" So we purposely did not order it, but nothing ever came. Felt it would be a little tacky to say, "hey what about that free dish you were talking about?" I've sat at many chef's table, but there was nothing special about this one unfortunately. It looked like many people were ordering the tuna, and we were also told "I wouldn't order the oysters" so we didn't (although it looked good - someone was being trained so the variability of the dish was probably in question). The green beans app was a great start and would get that again. Chicago is one of my favorite food towns and unfortunately just left underwhelmed and disappointed in this choice. I would try again but would ask for less saucy options and try other items (or serve a side of white rice or some type of bland starch to counterbalance the rich sauces)

    Green beans were to die for. We also had the pork shank and it was fantastic. Everything we ate was wonderful. Staff was attentive without being annoying. Love you all and thank you!

    The food was delightful. Sea bass and hamachi poke just beautiful. Cocktails delightful. Fennelnomenon really awesome inspiring. Issue with service. Pig face dish too ro e note- rich, savory, no brightness or contrast. Server appeared to want to be elsewhere. Food runners and Mike were joyful. The food came to fast. Not paced at all. First time we have tipped less than 25% in years. Not sure we’ll return.
