   Every dish was incredible. We tried 12 different items and they were all 10/10. Service was great and very informative about allergies.

   Disappointed by the Hype — Underwhelming Experience We were excited to try Girl & the Goat after hearing great things, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The service was inconsistent and chaotic — plates were taken away by one person, but then no one followed up. We literally had to flag someone down to get attention again. The food itself was decent, though not exceptional. However, the dessert was a letdown — the miso pineapple cake was so sweet it actually gave us a headache. Balance matters, especially at this level. One of the biggest disappointments was the tea situation. My wife and I ordered two teas and were brought a single pot to share. When we asked for separate ones, we were told they “didn’t have enough tea pots.” Seriously? You’re charging $12 for two teas — it’s not unreasonable to expect individual service, especially when we each prefer our own steep strength. The excuse felt careless. To top it off, there’s an added surcharge on the bill. I understand operating costs are high, but just raise your prices if needed. Don’t pass the buck to guests in such an obvious and awkward way — it comes across as nickel-and-diming. The space is nicely designed and feels fresh, but the experience lacked soul. No one seemed to be managing the floor or truly caring about guest satisfaction. It wasn’t a disaster, but it definitely wasn’t worth the hype or price. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

   Everything conspired to make a lovely evening for my friend and me. It was a vastly different experience from the lackluster service and experience the last time i was here (food late, slow, inattentive service.) I had requested a special table and Jacob made sure to honor it. It was nice and quiet and we even got a perfect parking place. It was my friend's first time at Girl and the Goat and she was so impressed . (and is not somebody easily impressed) . Our server, Richard, was attentive (as were the rest of the waitstaff), and the food is always delicious and inventive. Thank you to all for making a lovely, relaxing evening.
