This is a place you must visit if you are in Chicago area, but make sure you make your reservations ahead of time!
The food, however, was absolutely phenomenal. We ordered the goat empanadas, curry fried pork belly, confit goat belly, and the roasted pig face. Every dish was savory, sweet, and incredibly well balanced. Four plates for two people was the perfect amount of food, and we left completely satisfied. The drinks were also excellent. It was a great birthday dinner
Every dish we ordered was outstanding. The goat empanadas were flavorful and perfectly balanced, the chickpeas were packed with texture and spice, and the green beans were simple but absolutely addictive. The pork shank was tender, rich, and ideal for sharing, while the goat belly completely blew us away — incredibly cooked and full of bold flavor.
And dessert… wow. The chocolate pistachio cheesecake was hands down one of the best desserts we’ve ever had — rich, creamy, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal.
Exceptional food, outstanding service, and a memorable dining experience. We can’t wait to come back — and hope to have Jake as our server again! ✨ ️
I ordered the stout bread, green beans (1/2 portion), chickpea fritters (1/2 portion) and pumpkin spice cake. Everything was excellent. The stout bread was fluffy, vaguely sweet, and paired beautifully with the pimento cheese. The green beans were perfectly cooked and umami. The chickpea fritters were my favorite dish, unique and just fantastic. My waiter recommended the pumpkin spice cake for dessert, and while I felt extremely basic for ordering it, the cake was sensational. Relating this dish to anything starbucks produces would be an insult. Overall I found my meal here worth the splurge.
I did appreciate the small scoop of ice cream with a candle, but it was hard not to feel disrespected when the couple at the table next to us, also celebrating, received four scoops. We were the same type of party (just the two of us), so the inconsistency felt unnecessary and disappointing.
The overall atmosphere wasn’t what we expected from such a well-known restaurant. None of the staff appeared happy to be there, eye contact was minimal, and the service felt disconnected and indifferent.
As for the food, we were surprised by how underwhelming it was. Girl & the Goat is known for share plates, but the portions barely felt sharable for the price, especially considering the simplicity of some of the ingredients. Many dishes were overly seasoned, sometimes overwhelmingly salty, to the point where the flavors didn’t complement each other. The only standout dish was the green beans, which genuinely lived up to the hype.
For such a highly recommended spot, especially for special occasions, this experience was a major letdown. I expected more care, more consistency, and a more memorable meal. Unfortunately, we left feeling disappointed rather than celebrated.
Every dish was a masterclass in balance. Spices were dialed in just right, and the flavors danced between sweet, spicy, savory, and earthy in a way that kept us reaching for more.
From the first bite to the last, it was clear that the kitchen knows how to layer complexity without overwhelming the palate.
The ingredients felt fresh, the presentation was thoughtful, and the vibe of the place added to the whole experience. It’s the kind of spot where you can taste the passion in every plate.
LOVE this place!!
