    We were excited to eat at Girl and the Goat because we were big fans of top chef but we left disappointed. The service was definitely the best thing about our meal. They were very friendly and hospitable. The ambience was a little loud and the tables were way too close together as if you're dining with the people next to you. The food was disappointing. Our favorite was the halibut which was absolutely perfect and would definitely order that again. The lamb rack was cooked perfectly but way too sweet. It almost tasted like candy. The focaccia was good but nothing special. We weren't too big a fan of the liver mousse either. The dishes were also described as family style but wouldn't really consider them so especially the halibut.

    The food and the service was fantastic and very attentive to our requests. We thought it was really loud and the proximity of the tables gave little privacy to our conversations but also we were not able to hear each other very well. Why having so much table in a raw? It was our anniversary and the free dessert with the two candles was so thoughtful and delicious!

    Excellent food - ordered the peppers twice, they were so good. Lovely people and nice terrace. They have a gluten-free menu which was really helpful for our friend. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Chicago.

    I have a severe nut allergy and they were aware and brought nuts to our table numerous times. We kept reminding them and they’d apologize and bring it again when they remade the order twice. Absolutely unacceptable, allergies are not something that should be messed with. As a waiter that is a very important job when a customer tells you about their allergy and you promise to honor that. It’s life or death. And they didn’t even comp the meal they messed up we were charged for it.

    Too many clashing flavors, food was very salty, the dishes were very small and expensive, they were pushy because it was closing time, the lamb ribs were delicious though, overall, we should have gone somewhere else.

    We had a great bartender who was creating cocktails for us. The food was superb; particularly the Pig Face. Wanted to lick the plate. Everything was excellent. Acoustics were a little tough, but a distant secondary issue given the quality of food and service.

    Food was the best part. A little bit pricey but the experience was memorable. I understand that they are a very popular restaurant and had to have the whole party there before seating but they kept my 80 year old mother and me standing for 10 minutes at the door and seated another party that has not fully shown up. Otherwise, it is a nice place to go for a special night out.

    Outstanding! Our server Friday night, Josh, was simply amazing. He put together the most well thought out combination of dishes for us, even paired it well with the wines we brought. Amazing food experience, you’ve got to try the lamb, and just a delightful evening made extra special by a great serving staff! It’s a little noisy inside, but that’s part of the fun. Outside is quieter.
