The cauliflower is pretty fucking amazing. So is the short rib. Pairs well with a lot of drinks.
MercedesMarch 1, 2014
Never thought I'd say this but pig's face is a must from the menu. Hamachi crudo is amazing as well, same with the grilled beets. Desserts are ok but nothing to cheer about; stick to the main courses

Food was fantastic! My favorites were the goat empanadas and the halibut.

If you are going to The Girl and the Goat don't leave without the grilled baby octopus, it will change your life!

If you don't get the pig face, you're doing it wrong. Absolutely amazing food. And they make lemon cello in house and it's great.

Everything we ate was fantastic. Especially loved the pig face and the green beans

Order the octopus, coliflower, pig face and the mezcal coktails.
Lisa WangAugust 6, 2013
Roasted cauliflower is PHENOMENAL and everything else I tried (octopus, beet salad, bread, pig face, scallops)
AnthonySeptember 12, 2012
Try the Wagyu Tartare - Unbelievable. Mouth-gasmic. Smoked Uni, Summer Apples, Shitake. Can't say love enough. A must have.
AP OrlebekeDecember 27, 2012
Gotta get dem peppers! Super delicious on their own, but they cover them in cheese which makes them all the more delicious!
Danielle McNallyJune 7, 2012
Skip wine and go for the hand-crafted cocktails - I loved the Double Standard and Agave Fleur. The menu is like a taste-bud playground.
Marco MongeAugust 22, 2017
This is simply heaven lamb ribs oh! My gosh.
Aaron RanfJuly 17, 2012
Waiting for a table? Go with the Double Standard cocktail. Its super crispy and lemony. Perfect for a sweaty summer night!

Jenny AguirreMarch 19, 2013
No reservations? Get there by 4:30 and sit by the bar for dinner and drinks. You won't regret it! Food is amazing.

Think you'll never get a reservation at Girl and the Goat before, say, the state balances its budget? Take the after-work bar and lounge route instead for a chance to try “Top Chef” winner Stephanie I Read more

Kohlrabi salad is to die for! Months to get in but well worth the visit, need one in naperville!
Lauren JSeptember 3, 2015
The halibut and the pork are out of control. Order two of each and skip the wood fired oysters.
Erika PerziMay 12, 2018
Great dinner menu and cocktail list. Lives up to its hype.
Penny RossNovember 21, 2010
Who would have thought pig face tasted Sooooo good? One of the many surprisingly delicious ingredients dished up. Amazing ribs too- earn your free wet wipes by eating them with your fingers!

You can't go wrong with the grilled pork ribs...and if it's on the menu get the confit goat belly. You'll thank me later!
David AdellAugust 23, 2018
Goat empanadas the most amazing thing EVER
Linda DSeptember 7, 2012
The place lives up to culinary hype. The cauliflower, quinoa ravioli, scallops and wagyu tartare were amazing.
Sarah PrimusOctober 19, 2012
Wow! The scallops are amazing and so is the white fish! Actually...everything is good, you can't go wrong!

"Chef Stephanie Izard's Bacon Creme Brulee is a must order. Tip: the recipe is featured in "The Better Bacon Book" for iPads. http://bit.ly/foursq_bacon"
Sruts SamMarch 1, 2013
Make reservations, if you can; try the braised pork shank; good for parties of 2-4 for decent portions of every dish you order.
CJ ToscanoApril 28, 2013
Girl and the Goat is a 3 month waiting list for a table but they have 5 independent unisex bathrooms so you can poop in bliss.
Augie AugustynekDecember 23, 2019
Wood Fired Whole Branzino, braised pork shank, the mussels, the escargot.
Sharon TsaoNovember 23, 2015
Very good value! The broccoli was a decent size, and the chicken was oh-soo-good
TopshopJune 19, 2012
Not only is this a great place for people watching but their goat's milk cheesecake has to be one of the best cheesecakes ever! Trust us...
Jeff BaileyJanuary 27, 2016
Literally everything is good. Order one of everything. You can't go wrong...
Nikki WegnerAugust 28, 2021

Bourbon Apples Cranberry Miso Marcona Almond Maple Fat Gelato. TV SHOW - BEST THING I EVER ATE.
Alexander CasanovaJuly 6, 2015
Everything is good here. What stood out was the pork shank and halibut.
Benjamin DoyleMarch 25, 2015
offbeat food options. I had pig face - does not disappoint. think of tender fatty pork.
Scot WheelerSeptember 1, 2015
Meh. I probably should have tried the burger. Good food that seems to use every part of the duck, but you have to enjoy eating in a crowded closet to really love this spot.
Jake CohenJuly 14, 2015
Pig face. Octopus. Veggies. Everything was really good. Make your reservation now.
Eylul SavasFebruary 19, 2014
Don't die before trying bittersweet chocolate cake with shiitake caramel gelato. That's all I can say. You'll need a cigarette after.
Paul BaffesNovember 2, 2022
Do not miss the duck tartar, green beans, or the pork shank. Fantastic!

Items on the menu shift often (pizza changes every few weeks). Sugo was incredible, Brussel Sprouts were great too.
EricMarch 12, 2015
We shared 6 dishes 5 were great. I don't think you can go wrong with the food.
Justin MarksMay 14, 2016
