  “An awesome spot in Chicago’s west loop/Fulton market area. Reservations are needed but we were able to go last minute and found seats at the bar where they have the full menu. Everything was incredible and portions were large enough to share. Highly recommend the goat empanadas”

  “An unforgettable dining experience in the West Loop! We loved the bold experiments and flavor combinations on the menu. The dishes were incredibly delicious, especially the Wood Oven Roasted Pig Face and the Goat Liver Mousse, which were …”

  “Love the food and the family style servings. We had the naan with tzatziki, shrimp salad was amazing, chicken skewers and green beans which are a must! Overall the shrimp salad and green beans were my favorite by far, a good mix of freshness and flavorful elements.”

  “We have been twice. Both times were fabulous. Pigface is a must have. However every dish has unusual yet amazing flavors. I would say it is like a tasting menu restaurant that you order à la carte. The service is spot on. I would say if you can afford it go!”

  “After hearing so much about the Girl & The Goat, I finally made it! It’s awesome that an amazing restaurant like this is still innovating and offering great food for more than 15 years. It’s no wonder that other restauranteurs have followed suit and established this area as restaurant row in the West Loop. Since we were all looking forward to this reservation, we made sure to try as many things as we could. We ordered multiple items that are to be shared family style. We opted for the pita & dips, chickpea fritters, sautéed green beans, roasted asparagus, pan roasted halibut, and sticky glazed pork shank. Their house Manhattan was a little sweeter than I’m used to, but it was delicious, and my mom thoroughly enjoyed her espresso martini. Since three out of the four of us were celebrating birthdays, the staff even surprised us with a sweet treat to end the meal. The interior of the restaurant was dimly lit and inviting. It was a total vibe. However, the weather was perfect so I was happy. They had a wonderful patio option. Their staff was absolutely top-notch.”

  “Came in from out of town and had made reservations prior to arriving. Girl and the Goat was fantastic! There were two of us and it's small plate style so we ordered 5 different dishes to share. It was a lot of food so choose wisely. The brioche was a great starter and the relish to top it with was amazing. Next came the chickpea fritters... excellent and far better than I had anticipated. Then came the green beans...wow!!! I don't want grean beans any other way. Do yourself a favor and get them. Next came the pork belly which was top notch, imo. Ended the night with the pork shank which was incredibly good. Glazed and crusted... I'm not sure how they do this but I accept it as perfection. So good. The atmosphere was fun. Maybe a little loud for some but that's the fun vibe that Girl and the Goat has so embrace it. Johnathan, our server and all the other hands that assisted in clearing the table before bringing the next dish were all amazing. Great establishment that has been around Chicago for awhile and for a reason. Just go. You won't regret it. Thank you to GATG for a great experience!”

  “Amazing food, service, and environment. I was a little worried that the tapas style would not be enough for our group and we would be ordering endless plates. I was pleasantly surprised and we all walked away “fat and happy”. The chicken skewers, pork shank, green beans, branzino, and empanadas were TOP SHELF! I would highly recommend!!!”

  “When I found out I was coming to Chicago for the week, the first thing I did was book a reservation for The Girl and the Goat! It did not disappoint! It was probably one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! The restaurant had great atmosphere! The Goat Fashioned was a fantastic drink. I ended up getting four plates, the Chickpea Fritters, Hamachi Poke, Roasted Pig Face, and the Goat Empanadas. They were all amazing and very unique, I would have a hard time picking a favorite. This is a place you must visit if you are in Chicago area, but make sure you make your reservations ahead of time!”

  “When we arrived at Girl & the Goat, we were initially seated at a table that was extremely cramped, despite there being plenty of open tables available. We were moved to a different table, which we appreciated, but it was still kind of …”

  “Exceptional and very creative small plates. Truly the best meal I have had in months. Both the Hamachi poke and Chili-sechuan bast bass were incredible! Outstanding service with quality recommendations. Really good cocktails, as well. My only knock on this place is that it is a bit loud. Highly recommended, overall - don’t miss this place!”
