and I ordered cocktails instead. She had the "Mayan Miscalculation" which I tasted and it was very good. I had the "Blood & Goats" Also very good, but for me it was a bit strong. Peer the recommendation of our very friendly waitress we ordered 6 plates to share. From the vegetable menu we got the fried pickles. GET THESE. They are delicious and according to the waitress they have been newly added to the menu. They used to be a secret side dish for certain orders. Get them while they are on the regular menu! From there we got the pig face, the goat empanadas, potato wontons, pork belly, and something with octopus or squid, I can't quite remember. From this list, I would recommend the goat empanadas for sure. I wish we'd just ordered two plates of this really. Then the pork belly was a hit for all of us. Everything was delicious, but those two dishes were just sooo good. No, not tobacco, but the deliciousness of food in any proximity of smokey smells. As I walked into the Girl a
nd the Goat on Wednesday evening, my senses were overcome by the powerful smell of smokiness. My friend and I had a 6:30 reservation. We arrived at 6:25 and thought we'd be seated promptly (the whole purpose of a reservation?) no such luck. We were left waiting in the seating lounge area for quite some time. I had a glass of the Artazu Artazuri Garnacha 2007 Grenache Wine, since grenache is the new trending wine variety. The mark up on wine prices in restaurants always surprise me. Not a good thing or bad thing, but.. surprised since a bottle of Artazu retails for about $13...The food was ok. The waitstaff was incredibly nice once we were seated, and was helpful in offering to help us decipher what was on the menu. I ordered the fat back and the crisp skate, as well as the bread with sweet onion butter. The fat back wasn't all it was made to sound. The waiter(s) kept saying how awesome it was but.. eh.. disappointed. The biscuits weren't warm at all, and had a bit of a stale texture
. The pickled sweet onions were the best part of the dish. I was expecting more flavor from the fat back but... it tasted like just fat, and unappetizing. I think the concept of the plate was great but it didn't really execute well. The crisp skate was great. No complaints
