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.

    As always Girl and the Goat knocked it out of the park. Each course brought sensational but balance flavors. Cocktails are inventive and the wine offerings are choice. Our waiter was excellent, went out of his way to care for the allergies of our party.

    Girl and a goat is not what it used to be. We went to get tacos after. The wine and beer list was limited. The cocktail list was creative and quite good. Boring food nothing to brag home about

    Not just some subpar IG/Tiktok location with nice esthetics. Girl & The Goat has been around for many years and produces a consistently good product. Job well done.

    The evening I was there was Valentine’s and there was a prix fix menu. I was very excited for this, that way I would get a little taste of everything and not have to make choices. What was served was fantastic, but the dishes were brought out at the kitchen’s pace and not as one dish was finished. It made for an awkward feeling that the restaurant was most concerned about turning tables rather than the diner’s experience. It felt rushed. On top of that, the menu was designed for two and not adjusted for single diners like myself, which led to food being wasted. That being said, it was a good experience and the bar service was exceptional.

    We had the Valentine’s special pre fix menu and let me tell you that they missed on every single dish 👎. All of them were super salty and the dessert was basically just a scoop of Nutella. Plus the hostess was just giving us bad eye the whole time — girl u have ppl to attend come on. Honestly put that money on S&P or your 401k instead.

    From beginning to end, a tremendous experience. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. The special Valentine’s menu was one home run after another. Elevated takes on all of our favorites! The drinks were perfectly balanced and well suited to the fare. Cannot recommend highly enough!
