Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Old Town

Our meal at Girl & the Goat was wonderful! The service was friendly and helpful. He knew the menu and ensured our experience delicious. We began our dinner with the naan. The dips served alongside were excellent. Next we enjoyed the chickpea fritters that we crisp with creamy inside, accented by pomegranate. We definitely wanted to try the goat empanadas, and were glad that we did. Our next course that we enjoyed were the wood-fired mussels. The broth was delicious. We ended with the roasted pig face. Our server enticed us with dessert. We finished our meal with the apple hand pie. Overall, we loved this place.

Food was amazing! I usually don’t order chicken at fine dining restaurants but so glad I did. Best chicken I’ve ever had. Our server, Kevin, was super personable and fun. Highly recommend!

Great to hear live music. Paul Marinaro quartet were amazing. Service very good and food and wine good enough. We will be back ! Glad there is a podium ask to keep voices down but some could have used a reminder during the set

Our server, Sarah T, was super helpful in regards to recommendations. My girlfriend & I arrived for our 7:45pm reservation and were sat immediately, which was nice. Our server gave us recommendations upon request, which turned out great. She recommended a certain bottle of wine, which turned out to be some of the best wine we’ve had - and may be our new favorite wine. My Striped Sea Bass was phenomenal, and my girlfriends pasta (cannot remember the name, but something ‘A La Grappa’) was exquisite as well. We had multiple different people come to check up on us, and we never had to worry about refilling our own wine & water. Super attentive and friendly staff. The atmosphere was perfect for Valentines Day celebrations, as it was close in proximity, dim, and had an intimate feeling. Will 10000% be back, and it will be a challenge to try something new on the menu due to how much I loved the exact order that I got.

Great atmosphere and great food, definitely worth its price. The staff provided excellent service and were very kind/professional. The view was amazing and the volume of the restaurant was perfect. Didn’t need to shout or keep my voice too low in order to make conversation with my girlfriend. First time experience and it went exceedingly well.
