remember what we got, only I remember they're not good. The dessert dishes are a blend of sweet and salty, and that's not a combination that's up my alley. I took a bite of each and passed. Overall, I preferred the vegetarian dishes, especially the cauliflower, and was pleased with the fish dishes. I would have liked to try one of the goat dishes, but that was against the wishes of the table. It's trendy, it's popular, it's saltily delicious. But it feels a little too much of each. Combined with the longer than expected wait (no free appetizer or drink comp at least?), and it doesn't quick reach the 5* mark. I live in Saint Louis and come to Chicago often for both business and pleasure. Every time I've been in the Windy City for the last two years I have tried to get a reservation here at the Girl & the Goat. Each time I was meet with disappointment, as no tables were available. This visit I was determined to get my G&TG fix. I already had an early dinner at one of Chicago's ch
ic new restaurants, but thought why not at least visit the Girl & the Goat for a cocktail. My hotel was only a mile from the restaurant, so I enjoyed a nice evening stroll. When I arrived, I shared my story with the host and said I just wanted to sit at the bar to experience Girl & the Goat. When I took my seat at the bar, I knew I was in trouble. The aroma of the food, the hustle and bustle of the servers going by with incredible looking plates was so tempting. How was I only going to have a cocktail? I glanced over the cocktail menu and being a fan of vodka I quickly ordered a "4 in the same". After my bartender presented me with my refreshing cocktail, he asked if I'd like to see a food menu. I responded, "sure why not". I figured it couldn't hurt, but boy I was wrong. Once I started reading, the more I wanted to eat dinner again. I knew I could not eat big, but now I really wanted to eat at least "something". Being a big fan of mussels, I thought that would be a safe and good w
ay to go. They serve their steamed mussels with "goat sausage croutons", which are amazing. I loved the mussels, they were huge and the croutons had flavor beyond belief. I have never had goat before, and now I can not wait till my next time. The croutons and the mussels were a perfect tease until my next visit. it was good..... but it was also not out of this world.. the best dish we like there was some appetizer that taste like thai green papaya meet hummus meet some deep friend item.. i think it was falafel with some cold salad stuff.. that is out of this world... i can't find the name of this dish at the current menu so i guess they don't have it anymore and then the crispy pig
