"Dining at Girl & the Goat was an amazing experience for my family on Christmas! The star of the evening was the crispy pork shank, served with a stunning blend of fresh accompaniments. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and wrapped in an irresistibly crunchy layer of toasted shallots and garlic crumbs, offering deep umami flavor with every bite. The house-made sauces — one creamy, likely tahini-based, and the other tangy and nutty — added balance and sophistication. Alongside, a medley of pickled vegetables, shredded carrots, and herb garnishes provided brightness and crunch, refreshing the palate beautifully. Every component felt fresh and high-quality, showcasing thoughtful layering of taste and presentation. Every dishes reflected inventive cooking and exceptional ingredient quality. Each bite felt like a refined yet approachable culinary experience — unmistakably crafted with passion and precision."

"When I found out I was coming to Chicago for the week, the first thing I did was book a reservation for The Girl and the Goat! It did not disappoint! It was probably one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! The restaurant had great atmosphere! The Goat Fashioned was a fantastic drink. I ended up getting four plates, the Chickpea Fritters, Hamachi Poke, Roasted Pig Face, and the Goat Empanadas. They were all amazing and very unique, I would have a hard time picking a favorite. This is a place you must visit if you are in Chicago area, but make sure you make your reservations ahead of time!"

"I wasn't sure if the restaurant was actually good or just internet hype, but I was pleasantly surprised! The menu has just a few sharing plates, but they are extremely well-crafted with incredible flavors. It’s a total flavor explosion! It's worth noting that the dishes we ordered were quite spicy and heavily seasoned—which wasn't mentioned on the menu—but they were delicious! The pistachio and chocolate dessert was absolutely perfect. Getting a reservation is a struggle, but it's totally worth it lol.The waiter was super efficient but a man of few words, which was totally fine."

"We stopped in while we were in town before a basketball game and Wow!! We were able to sit at the bar after a minimal wait. The bartender did an amazing job describing the food and he gave us great recommendations. The goat liver, phenomenal!! The perogies, to die for!! The sea bass just melted! Then there is the pig face….The perfect mix of textures make this dish one of the best dishes I ever had!! Such a wonderful experience!!"

"We had an amazing experience at Girl & The Goat from start to finish. Our server Jake truly made the night — attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. He guided us through the menu perfectly and made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. 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! ✨🍽️"
