Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Melrose Park

Extremely pleasant staff. Food was good. Ambiance was good for a business meeting. I'd go back in the future!

These guys are truly professionals. The atmosphere, the staff, the food, all of it exceeded expectation. I’m a chef and don’t understand how they execute so well. Amazing people and amazing time. I’ll definitely be back

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.

The Date Night menu is perfect. Solid choices, great value. We go a couple of times a year to this friendly little place.

Live music background guitar playing oldies was very pleasant and not too loud. Prime rib (fri/sat special) that the waiter Kyle said was ‘excellent’ or ‘wonderful’ was rather tasteless and thin cut for $48 - disappointing after the buildup. Kyle was a great waitperson. Be careful as they add a 20% tip into the bill before they give it to you.
