- JJoeMemphis / West Tennessee •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoOur meal at Girl & the Goat was wonderful! The service was friendly and helpful. He knew the menu and ensured our experience delicious. We began our dinner with the naan. The dips served alongside were excellent. Next we enjoyed the chickpea fritters that we crisp with creamy inside, accented by pomegranate. We definitely wanted to try the goat empanadas, and were glad that we did. Our next course that we enjoyed were the wood-fired mussels. The broth was delicious. We ended with the roasted pig face. Our server enticed us with dessert. We finished our meal with the apple hand pie. Overall, we loved this place.More infoGirl & the GoatPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• West Loop•4.8
- JJoelNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoI booked this reservation a month ago for my husbands birthday. I have celiac disease so it was important to find a place that was accommodating. They went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience for us all! From the staff signed birthday card to the personalized menu and all staff wishing him happy birthday throughout the meal, the attention to detail was incredible. The food? Oh my goodness! They walked me through the menu and let me know what could be made safe for my needs and provided everyone else the same attention based on what they were craving. Everyone enjoyed their dinner & I had the best gluten free dinner roll from a restaurant ever! Dessert was just as good as dinner if not better! My daughter loved the cookies and cream ice cream and she’s pretty picky. My husband and I shared the espresso brûlée and loved every bite even though we were full before ordering it. You don’t leave something like that behind! Overall, such a great experience! We highly recommend!More infoSwift & SonsPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• West Loop•4.7
