About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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.

    Food was excellent - interesting and tasty. Service was excellent. It was hard to converse well with the noise level (for we older folk) but overall experience was very good.

    Nothing was bad, everything was mediocre. For the price the quality and quantity were lacking. Im sure when they first opened the small plates and innovative cuisine was ground breaking. Now it feels tired, expensive and cliche. The restaurant is extremely loud and the service was adequate if not a little rushed. All in all your money is better spent elsewhere.
