    The only part that wasn't great was being seated at one of the two tables directly across from the entrance on a very cold night. Everything was perfect other than that 1 small thing.

    Our 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.

    The dry aged steak selection was outstanding! I went with the cowgirl ribeye, while my wife had the prime rib special and let me tell you… don’t let the name fool you, the cowgirl is enough for any hungry cowboy! And our waiter, Joshua, was an absolute delight! This will be on my list for a nice dinner anytime we’re in Chicago!
