About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
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.

    The food was absolutely fantastic! Each bite was bursting with layers of flavor. We tried the pork belly noodles, okonomiyaki, and pancakes, and every dish was exceptional—delicious and expertly prepared. However, my only gripe is that the pancakes were not initially ordered correctly, which led to a 40-45 minute wait before they were served.

We'll definitely take that into consideration to avoid such an issue in the future. We're glad that you found value in your experience and we hope to serve you again soon.

    The food here was amazing! We came for brunch on Sunday during the end of a three day weekend and this was by far our favorite restaurant. We followed the suggestion of the waiter and ordered two plates per person. This was way too much food, but trying everything made it worth it! The only thing we fully finished was the ooey gooey cinnabiscuit. We loved every plate we ordered though. When back in the area, I will definitely return to try the dinner menu. And also, probably return for brunch.

    We had brunch and the waiter couldn’t speak English. When you have a complex menu, they should hire staff who is capable of describing the different dishes. I had dinner there several years ago and could not wait to go back, but I would never go back to the brunch.
