We had a great dinner at Girl and the Goat! We had the chickpea fritters and the pomegranate was a great touch of flavor. We also loved the sea bass, and will come back for it! Other favorites included the peanut butter mousse and chocolate dessert. Shout out to nick (I think) in the kitchen who gifted us mini beans (green beans) and the miso maple budino (if you like pralines you’ll love this), both were phenomenal.

Always a great evening at Andy's. The ambience is warm and inviting, it always attracts a nice well-behaved audience, and the musical talent can't be beat. The kitchen turns out great food -- not an easy feat and it must be timed perfectly to serve and clear within the show times but they make it look easy. Cocktails are similarly generous, well-crafted and delivered with panache. All in all it's pretty hard to beat an evening at Andy'.

We asked for a quiet table, and received one in the back room with a window to the kitchen--perfect. Excellent waiter, with great recommendations and service. We ordered too much, so couldn't come close to finishing it all. Breaded pickles with siracha aioli were outstanding, wedge salad very good (tho dressing was sparse), Gage burger was good, chicken biriyani was very flavorful but too much. Next time we'll split just one entree.
