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.

    Small plates were excellent, we enjoyed every dish. They were so good we were afraid to have desserts as the bar was so high. Fortunately we decided to anyway. We split a Toffee Pumpkin spice cake and their Chocolate and Peanut Butter dessert. They were great. Highly recommend

    The food is very unique, with different flavours and seasoning. Pick some different dishes and share with your friends, so you can try as many different dishes as possible.

    All always great! I hadn't been in a number of years and the food was as awesome as I remember it to have been. My ' only ' issue. I got a notification that my table was ready about 7 minutes before my reservation. I arrived about 5 minutes after my reservation time. I checked in....and they said I had to wait just a moment. Was the table ready or not. And then also ... restaurants are still sticking with this extra percentage scan because of labor, etc....lets move on and just pay your help/ 2020 is in the rearview mirror

    The Girl and the Goat always exceeds expectations, even when my expectations are sky high! Thank you! We had the Pig Face, String Beans, Goat Belly, and Steak. The dishes all exploded with flavors. The balance of seasonings, use of citrus, vinegar and other elements of the dishes played well and makes the culinary experience here amazing. The cocktails were yummy as well. The Peach-Te-quilla was light and refreshing. The Spicy Fat Boy had a ton of flavor. To finish the night, we had the Toffee Pumpkin cake and a neat pour of the Pappy Family Reserve. The Pappy was a treat and made a great night even more special! Thanks to Stephanie and all the team at the Goat. You are all AMAZING!

    Words don't describe it. Service was impeccable the food was outstanding indescribable tastes. The chickpea fritters were out of this world. The taste the creaminess. The goat liver moose everything we had last night was amazing. We went there for my wife's 40th birthday it was everything she was hoping for and more. She's been a big fan of Stephanie Izard since before her top chef debut and my wife absolutely was beyond words last night. We are recommending to all our friends

    They food was very tasty. However my fish Main which was bass was overdone and the server did not offer to correct. Moreover, the portion sizes were minuscule.
