About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Lively
Innovative

Girl & the Goat opened in 2010 with the goal of offering a menu of bold, flavorful dishes designed to share in a fun and lively atmosphere. To complement the experience, we offer a curated selection of wines from around the world, focusing on small producers, along with a rotating list of craft beers and a playful cocktail menu crafted by our bartenders. The ever-changing menu, driven by locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, features favorites like sautéed green beans, roasted oysters, crispy short ribs, and confit goat belly. While reservations are encouraged for the dining room, our bar welcomes walk-ins, adventurers, and those who prefer spontaneity.

From the OpenTable editors: When it opened in 2010, Girl & the Goat ushered in a new era of casual fine dining on the West Loop’s now-iconic Restaurant Row. In a cozy, rustic-chic space, feast on mega-award-winning (James Beard, Top Chef, Iron Chef) Stephanie Izard’s bold, globally influenced dishes like sweet and sour wood-fired whole branzino and goat empanadas that prove why this MICHELIN-Starred restaurant remains as hot and relevant as ever.

Everyone in the world told me you MUST go here when you visit and I see why. I originally couldn’t get a reservation even 2 weeks prior but put myself on the notify list and it paid off! We had the crabby pork belly which was to die for, I mean one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten! The flavors were out of this world. We also had the roasted pig face, though the name was so off putting, worth trying! It kind of reminds me of the crispy skin of pernil if you know what that is. Just for reference I am from NY and have access to some of the best food in the world and I love trying new restaurants. This place was all that and then some! Highly recommend!! Cocktails were also good!

We had a wonderful time. We were outside so it was a little noisy, but we got used to it after a little while.

We were a table of two and we were squeezed in in the corner of the room at an oddly shaped triangle table. We made the best of it!
