G&TG (Yes i just officially anointed Girl and The Goat with its own acronym) is classified as a gastro-pub, but it feels much more slick and metropolitan. This is the "it" place to grab dinner in the city. Expect to wait two weeks to get an 8pm reservation. So what does this reservation finally get you? How about the feeling that you're in the real life version of Sex and the City? There is eye candy for everyone. The bar is hoppin. The dining room feels like you're lounging in one big downtown loft. There is a wood burning pizza oven which perfumes the restaurant and teases your appetite. Everyone feels and looks comfortable. It is very hard for a restaurant to create the level of energy that G&TG generates. It's why we enjoy eating out. It's why we love living in the city. So what does Ole Don Ready think about the food? They've got the goods. Often times, tapas-style restaurants offer a large selection of dishes that mostly underwhelm. You end up ordering 6-10 dishes at $8-$10 a
plate. You usually decide
that you only enjoyed half the plates. After beverages, you're staring at a $70 a person tab. G&TG offers a modest selection of plates. There were some hits and some misses, but mostly there were hits. Braised Chicken Wings with Veal - this was a special. The wings were enjoyable with good flavor, but nothing Yelpalicious. Marinated Beef Tongue - this was a truly sophisticated preparation and interpretation packed with bright unexpected flavors. Wished the portion were bigger. Seared Scallops with braised veal - The unanimous favorite at the table. I felt like I was tasting the same talent on the plate the Top Chef Judges experienced; the same brilliance that ultimately won her the title of Top Chef. Ham Frites - probably the weakest dish, but the dish still tasted good. It just wasn't what I expected. No ham flavor. Small portion of fries too. Skate Wing with Calamari and Roasted Tomatoes - Perfectly cooked crispy Skate wing. Dee-Lish. Pig Face with Crispy potatoes - this dish was e
ssentially a roulade made
from the braised meat of the Pig's Head. Very good flavor with a nice contrast of texture from the matchstick potatoes. Lamb Rib Chops - These were nicely prepared. The flavor was mild for lamb and the ribs were meltingly tender. Goat Cheese Pizza with figs - this was solid. I wouldn't go out of my way to order, but it's a nice dish to share. We spent $38 a person for four people. Not that bad at all. I will look forward to going back and taking the gf. I made
