Was overwhelmed by the menu- so unique and unfamiliar.

Absolutely the highlight of my weekend birthday trip to the city with my husband. He enjoyed it so much that he suggested we order dessert! Nothing disappointed. Worth the wait for a reservation!

5/5 by 👻 @Joe Q. on 07/21/2024

This was my second time at Girl and the Goat, I previously dined there in 2016 on my last visit to Chicago. The food here is spectacular. When you look at the menu, nothing really "jumps out" at you. There are no en vogue culinary buzz words describing the food. But then you order your items and each one is better than the last. Last night I had the Brioche - came with pimento cheese and a relish both incredible accoutrements. The pimento cheese was extremely buttery in the best way possible. Roasted Corn - had a coconut milk caramel drizzled on that was only subtly sweet but enough to give you the caramel corn vibes you're looking for. Halibut - just perfect. My favorite dish of the night. The Vietnamese fish sauce and scallion/cilantro/chile garnish was morish and refreshing. Crispy Short Rib - incredibly tender braised beef that got flash fried for an awesome texture, not too much crust. Must have. Grilled Chicken Skewers - really flavorful cashew butter and tiny mushrooms to go with the skewers. Beef empanadas - the red pepper salsa underneath was a great compliment to the empanadas. Flourless chocolate cake - came with some kind of shortbread crumble that was the best part. This chocolate cake was decadently dense and the basil gelato and lemon cream helped cut through the richness. Hazelnut ice cream/blondie - the first bite was puzzling but only because I wasn't expecting the sourness of the orange peel. Once I got on the wavelength of the dish I loved it! All of the elements were great, must have if you like hazelnuts, there were tons! Service was great and my Goat Old Fashioned was nicely balanced too. I could have eaten seconds of everything. Can't wait for my next visit to Chicago so I can return!

Got a gift card to come to this restaurant for our birthday.

Decided to use it for early dinner. Make sure you make reservation. The food menu isn't that big but gave you a good selections. We order the chickpeas and asparagus for appetizer. For our entree we order a crispy short ribs and the wood fired whole branzino. The food comes out quick and we were full didn't eat dessert. The portion is just right. Great to come with your family or couple friend to share the dishes. Street parking however they have valet.

5/5 by 👻 @Ying Z. on 07/19/2024

Super tasty & solo-friendly spot! I was in Chicago for a work trip and wanted to try this place because I heard good things from others and they were right. My server was friendly and attentive and shared that the portions for some dishes are modified for solo diners. I got a half order of chickpea fritters and half green bean since I wanted to try both and the fritters were very yummy. They tasted like fried tofu. I ordered the halibut for my main and it was pretty good - though the (miso butter?) sauce was a little unusual for me. For dessert, I ordered the ginger chocolate bar which was rich but not too sweet. It was the perfect way to end the lovely meal. The portion sizes were very reasonable and I was so surprised that I finished everything. The restaurant is very spacious and was bustling on a weeknight. Would def come back again for a treat yourself kinda meal.

For starters, this is a good restaurant.

3/5 by 👻 @Nemanar F. on 07/19/2024

Nearly every dish is different, pretty inventive, and notable. However, they do something that more and more restaurants do: smaller, lower calorie portions with a "shareable" tag, and that means you have to order more, spend more to be full. In the end, adding drinks, dessert, etc. you get a bill that is, frankly, a whopper. For $400 and 4 people, I KNOW we can do better in Chicago. So, unless you can get your firm / boss to foot the bill, there are many, MANY better options, in the same neighborhood. I honestly felt underwhelmed for what I paid, and it felt like the prices were over the top. read the reviews carefully. They all touch on this in multiple ways. BTW, the elote (corn) is really good, and should cost very little to make. It's also slippery, and it must be eaten with the hands. One member of our partly tried to shave the kernels, only to have the cob slip from the plate onto the floor. That alone is ok. It's an accident. What you don't want is to go to a restaurant and feel like you just lost a chunk of money because that happened. Here's a hint to the girl and the goat: please consider some cheap bamboo skewers so people can hold it and eat it.

The place was packed, and the acoustics were terrible. We ended up at a communal table, and the couple at the other end were extremely loud. Sadly, the food failed to save the evening--the goat yogurt was goat yogurt, while the halibut got lost in the stuff they put on it.

Each dish is unique and very well plated. The room is a little bit too dark if you don't have a table seat... so unless you make a reservation it might not be worth it to hang around for a whole dinner. Service is okay, a little unpredictable and not always professional - if you are a lady in a group of men you can expect to be ignored at times..

The staff were friendly and helpful. Our server was so knowledgeable of the food and the way it was prepared and served. And the food - it was a party on my palate! We had the halibut (top chef award winning dish), the roasted pig face (don't let the name scare you), the pork shank and the goat empanadas. If you want to have an intimate conversation, best to sit outside. It can be really loud during a busy shift. Great experience!

Atmosphere was not good

3/5 by 👻 @Matt and Kate V on 06/20/2024

I found the food at this restaurant to be inventive and mostly delicious, but the atmosphere definitely knocks this down a peg. For a fine dining establishment where myself and husband paid $300+ for a meal, it was disappointing to have to shout because the music was so incredibly loud. They were playing very trendy music which I found to be a bit jarring. We had a reservation at 9:15 on a weeknight and we waited over 30 minutes for our table. The hostesses were pretty rude and short with us. However, our waiter was very nice. I would rate this experience 3.5/5 and would recommend going to other fine dining establishments in Chicago for dinner.

Don’t over order

5/5 by 👻 @Dave P on 06/13/2024

We almost ordered one of everything on the menu. Yes, one of each. It’s a lot of food for five people. Of the 14 dishes we ordered, we should note that every dish was excellent with the chickpea fritters, the branzino, salmon, and short ribs being the standouts. For drinks, the bring the beet back and the green street manhattan both get top marks. Excellent service with proper spacing allowed the meal to proceed smoothly over the course of an hour and a half. Enjoy.

Award winning Chef doesn't disappoint

5/5 by 👻 @hockeyaw19 on 06/08/2024

Made reservations for myself and a colleague for a Monday evening at 7pm about a month in advance of our trip and was excited as I was an avid fan of Top Chef and Chef Stephanie Izard. We arrived about 15 minutes early and were directed to the bar. The ambiance is quite nice - a bit dim, however the sounds of the kitchen, plates, drinks and fellow diners chatter fill the air. We were seated within 10 minutes. The waiter was excellent explaining the style (tapa-esque shared plates) the portion sizes, the drink menu and the most popular items to us after we indicated it was our first time at the joint. He mentioned 3-5 plates would likely satisfy two people alongside drinks. My colleague had a few different local beers and I had a virgin the 'spicy boy' (tarragon . pomegranate . jalapeño . ginger . lime) which was excellent. We selected four dishes - the Pig face, green beans, goat empanadas and the salmon poke. 3 out of 4 dishes were excellent and I'd recommend each of them as one were bad. The only disappointing bite was the goat empanadas came with some plantain thing that was not great and had an odd texture - if the plantain thing was tastier then the goat empanada would be overall excellent. We each got a dessert to enjoy on our own. I got the strawberry shortcake dish and my colleague got the ice cream sundae. Both desserts had very sophisticated flavor profiles and uniquely blended savory and sweet quite remarkably. I'd certainly recommend this place to anyone headed or in Chicago. The bill came to around $210 with tip.

Our Mother's Day brunch at Girl and the Goat in Chicago was an absolute delight! Sharing this experience with my mom on her first trip to Chicago made it even more special.

From the refreshing yogurt & granola to the indulgent crabby French toast, every bite was a taste sensation.

This was a perfect meal for the last night of a trip to Chicago! I booked a table to celebrate a family member’s birthday. They gave us a table that looked directly into the kitchen (kind of like a chef’s table). Chris, our server, was exceptional and made such amazing recommendations (we had wonderful cocktails, the shrimp salad, goat empenadas, green beans, pig face). Lastly, we had passion fruit sorbet and the praline sundae. Also, we had the pleasure of meeting Tito, a kind and personable chef who—along with the other kitchen staff—worked to make our meal amazing. A perfect meal!! Highly recommend!!!

5/5 by 👻 @Liz H. on 03/18/2024

I was in Chicago for work and Stephanie is one of my favorite Top Chef contestants so obviously I'm going to stop at her restaurant. I started with the cocktail made with beet juice. It was perfectly balanced and delicious. Then, I had the chickpea fritters. This dish was surprising in a good way. Everything served a purpose and worked in perfect harmony. I had a glass of cab franc with the goat dish. I hardly ever see that varietal on the menu, so I was excited! I tried the goat liver mouse and that was the only miss for me. I don't really enjoy liver but wanted to give it a try based on the server suggestion. I'm sure it's delicious, I just couldn't get over the flavor and saltiness. Not my jam, but everything that came with it was perfect! It's such a beautiful space, the service was spectacular and overall a perfect night. I would just order differently next time. No fault of the restaurant.

The waitress was super friendly and answered any questions we had. Very informative and helpful. The drinks were very well balanced. And agh the food was just so good. Such a great combination of flavors. I highly recommend the pork shank. It's large and worth it. The best thing we ordered hands down. Also the minute it landed at our table, everyone around us was wishing they had ordered it themselves. Lol! So my tip is to please order this, you won't regret it! Dessert was equally amazing. I can't recommend this place enough! Thank you for making my birthday special .

Being from out of town, we were looking for something that would make our Chicago trip memorable. We certainly found it at girl and the goat. Joshua was our server and talked us through the menu. In fact, everyone who serves your plate will describe the flavors and process of what is being presented. There were so many unique options but our favorites were the pork belly and salmon. Something important to note is that portions are smaller, so we actually chose a few plates and shared them amongst the table. This was the perfect place for a girls night, date night, or to experience an intimate meal. Loved it

Big Disappointment

2/5 by 👻 @Sarah L on 03/04/2024

Made a reservation with high expectations for a 50th birthday dinner. We had been wanting to try this restaurant for several years and finally had the opportunity to. Long story short, we regret working our weekend around what we thought would be a 'nice birthday dinner'. Unfortunately, the space was super loud, staff was robotic, food was only mediocre, and we felt rushed through our 8pm reservation so they could use the table again. AND...speaking of the table... it is ridiculously long/wide for 2 people. So much so that my wife and I could barely converse across it during what we hoped would be a lovely birthday dinner. We don't mind a loud, bustling, crowded, city restaurant -- we truly enjoy them and actually happened upon a Peruvian gem the night before that was just amazing -- but this was too loud and everything, including the food, was just not up to par. To add insult to injury, we spent 250+ dollars on dinner and wine and when it came to dessert they charged us $15 for the birthday sweet that my wife picked because she was told to 'save room for a birthday dessert' by the server. Just generally very disappointed with the atmosphere, service, and food. We won't be returning and don't recommend. There are so many other amazing restaurants with better service and atmosphere in the city, this once has lost its luster.

3/5 by 👻 @MParker573 on 02/27/2024

We wanted to love this dining experience with our family, but it fell way short of being in any way enjoyable - we were relieved to finish our food so that we could leave. For a restaurant of this caliber, one would expect superb food and a pleasant dining atmosphere. The ambience was raucous and deafening; it was impossible to converse at the table. The tables were packed in so tightly that we were constantly being bumped and jolted by the people seated at the tables behind us. The service was good, but the food was only so-so. (We had eaten here a year ago during the summer, seated in their outdoor dining area, and the food was much better at that visit.) The naan bread with hummus and tzatziki was delicious, as were the roasted beets. The chicken skewers were boring, the green beans were, well, green beans, nothing spectacular there, the crispy pork belly was a sloppy mess of indeterminate flavors, the goat liver mousse was marginally ok, though the crumpets with it were rancid. We won’t be back. It was a wretched dining experience.

The Girl & the Goat restaurant Chicago, rests on the renowned Restaurant Row area in the West Loop of the Windy City. Rustic wooden pillars and beams connect a bevy of seating areas creating an enduring communal and 'tete a tete' appeal. The menu is protein bound, heavy on goat. After hoofing over the menu, my mind argued over the crispy pork belly and the roasted pig face.........the belly survived along with chocolate olive oil cake all washed down with prosecco............a delicious meal and great company............a superb goat restaurant.

Good Food, but Small Portions!

4/5 by 👻 @Johnny Trekkie on 11/20/2023

Anthony Bourdain The Layover Season 2, Chicago featured Girl & The Goat, and it looked freaking delicious! So I had to try it. Even 12 years after airing this episode, this place is still popular and packed on the Friday night we dined here...be sure to make a reservation! This is a fancy upscale restaurant, but is family/tapas style, so mentally prepare yourself with that important piece of information. Service is impeccable, the hostesses were friendly, the busboy was on his A game with water glass refills, and out waitress knowledgeable and friendly. Every dish is creative, exquisite, and delicious. Shockingly, the vegetarian plates were amazing and flavorful. $17 Roasted Beets...tropea onion-golden beet giardinaire . yuzu kosho . party nuts. I'm not a fan of beets, but these beets were the best I've ever had, and honestly delicious, and probably healthy too! $18 Sautéed green beans...fish sauce vinaigrette, roasted cashews...sounds weird, but again these were fantistic, and the most spectacular green beans ever. $24 roasted pig face...seared, juicy, crisp pieces of pork, served with a sunny side egg, and some very thing crispy french fries. Sooo good! $21 Goat empanadas...avocado crema, chili lime crunch, fried plantains...very tasty! Note that there are only two empanadas. My dining mates tried some other plates, all of which were fantastic too. Problem is all these plates are on the smaller side, and we had run up a $200 bill between the 4 of us. We weren't quite full, but didn't feel compelled to raise the bill any further. Bigger portions would've made the this a 5 Star. Or maybe complimentary bread and butter. Or maybe I'm being cheap and petty tourist. Or maybe I need to go on a diet...yeah, that's probably the right answer.

A wonderfully memorable dining experience

5/5 by 👻 @amandak616 on 11/14/2023

My husband and I have been wanting to visit Girl & The Goat for several years now and were thrilled to have a reservation time that aligned with our recent visit. We started with the hamachi crudo, which was fantastic. The pickled apples and trout roe were especially delicious. The fish was beautiful and fresh, with a lovely delicate texture and flavor. Our second course were the goat empanadas. Tender goat was wrapped in a crispy, flaky exterior which allowed the creamy avocado and lightly sweet plantains to really shine. Next we had the roasted beet dish, which was visually stunning AND incredibly delicious. The variety of textures and flavors was wonderfully surprising - earthy, sharp, sweet, crunchy... a little bit of everything! Our final savory dish was the roasted pig face and it was absolutely my favorite dish of the evening. Two pork face cakes were topped with a sunny side up egg and sat on a bed of potato stix. The tamarind, cilantro, and red-wine maples sauces surrounded the dish and our server asked if he could "prepare" the dish the way the chef designed it to be eaten. We agreed and he proceeded to mix everything together - the egg, sauces, pork cakes, and potato stix. I'm SO glad we allowed him to do that because it made every single bite truly amazing. For dessert (I was quite full by this point, so I only had a couple of small bites), we had the coconut creme caramel. Creme caramel is one of my favorite desserts to begin with, but this one was so wonderfully over the top! The caramelized coconut crunch was my favorite aspect of the dish - I LOVE when creamy desserts have a crunchy element and this definitely didn't disappoint. Overall the meal was fantastic, our server was attentive and made great recommendations, and the vibe is cozy and comfortable but with a great energy and liveliness. We'll definitely be back!

Food was excellent! Loved how the meal was more family

5/5 by 👻 @Brad F. on 03/22/2023

Food was excellent! Loved how the meal was more family style of sharing entrees and sides versus just ordering your own meal. It gets a little loud, but the ambience is really laid back so it wasn't too annoying. Service was incredible always keeping drinks filled and clean plates supplied between courses. Overall great experience.

Great food, unnecessary service complications.

We had an amazing dinner. Lots of great items. Service was on point. Two issues:1) wine list is pretty mediocre2) service is strict - they would NOT let us add more items. It was weird "take our money!" "NO!"

There's a reason why we had to make a reservation a few

5/5 by 👻 @Kim K. on 03/18/2023

There's a reason why we had to make a reservation a few months in advance for the girl and the goat. I recall going here soon after it first opened, and I am so glad that it is just as good if not better than it was many years ago. we were seated very promptly even though we were early for our reservation, and I have to say that every member of the staff and service team that we interacted with was so friendly and genuinely seemed excited about this restaurant, and what they were producing. We started with a few cocktails, and the pretzel bread, which was amazing! We also had the chicken skewers, the Hamachi poke, the lamb ribs, green beans, the steak, and finished with a miso Budino for dessert.The miso budino may have been the best dessert I have ever had in my life - it was fruity, delicate, and decadent all at the same time. Our personal food favorites were the hamachi poke which had some great small details and elements to it, and the lamb ribs which were marinated in this delicious blueberry glaze. Yes, you are going to leave with a pretty hefty bill, but we left stuffed and so happy that we got to have a special dinner here!

This was a perfect meal in every way.

5/5 by 👻 @Eric D. on 03/18/2023

From the whisky list to the four plates we tried. We had the shishitos, the goat empanadas, the roasted pig face, and the wood fired whole brazino. Every dish was progressively better than the last. The brazino was transcendent. Definitely coming back our next trip to Chicago. Waitstaff was excellent in every way.

Hands down one of my top 10 favorite restaurants in Chicago

5/5 by 👻 @Jessica G. on 03/14/2023

Hands down one of my top 10 favorite restaurants in Chicago - from the moody & dimly lit interior that showcases the culinary symphony performing in the kitchen. And if you have the chance to sit at the counter near final service - it's a one of a kind experience not to be missed! All that said, the food is mind blowing, super creative and brimming with flavors that tease the senses - some familiar but masterfully married making it detective work to deconstruct the ingredients. Service was impeccable-nothing less from Lizzie and her staff - execution was excellent. Enjoy!

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Girl & The Goat Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.

Read More on How Seller Track Record and the Bid Process Works Read More Action Icon

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Girl & The Goat Chicago at 6 PM the same day.

He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Girl & The Goat Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.

That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.

Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.

Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.

2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.

3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Girl & The Goat Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.

4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Girl & The Goat Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
