Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Jefferson Park

It’s been a while since I had been to The Girl and the Goat. Food is still good!

I went back to try lunch dishes and they were fenomenal, fried chicken sandwich it's really tasty, Francisco took care of me again and he was fenomenal as always I'll be back soon ! Thanks Francisco

Love Boka for a few reasons Food: the best duck in the city and no matter how often we get the duck it feels new and different. Excellent starters and small plates Wine and liquor: a great wine list that has some seriously great finds served with care and a great cocktail list to start or finish your night. Service: consistency is key, we enjoy coming back because there are so many familiar faces which really helps put you at ease with your dinner. The meal is timely and well attended. With a great support staff making sure no need is missed. I don't recall how many times we've been over the years but it always feels special and fresh and fun.

We were on a tight schedule, having a flight delay that made dinner before a show pretty tight. This place was great! The service was perfect - delivering our rolls (which were all delicious) at the perfect pace. We never felt rushed, yet were in and out with enough time to walk to the venue. Will definitely return when we have more time to enjoy at a more leisurely pace.

Excellent food!!! We were expecting “pub food” but this was so much more. Skilled use of unexpected herbs and spices. This kitchen produced perfectly cooked proteins. The duck was the most flavorful duck I’ve had in a restaurant. The octopus was exactly the right texture. Pork shank and short ribs were fall-off-the-bone and seasoned creatively. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We appreciated the art of the serving dishes, not just plain white plates. Service was also excellent. We were greeted at the door and our table was immediately ready. Our server was attentive. Our food came out hot. Only real negative is the 3% charge to use a card. I don’t like carrying $250+ in cash. I wish this place was in our hometown. We look forward to returning to Cultivate.
