    My husband and I came here as part of our wedding anniversary trip and they were all so sweet. We had a reservation (definitely recommend) and unfortunately we had to wait a little bit after our reservation time. But they were very attentive to us & even gave us a free appetizer & dessert. The food & drinks were absolutely delicious. I could not recommend the food enough!!! They were so kind & so generous!!

    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.

    Cute decorations that transformed the interior of the restaurant. Hostess was very nice. Our server/waiter was a bit on the slower side and forgot a lot of things we asked for so I had to repeat several times. Someone requested items never came. Also he didn’t check in on us the entire meal and it was impossible to flag him down unless I got out of my seat. Food was great and pretty standard otherwise. They had valentines edition slider boxes which was pretty cute!
