    Our second visit within 2 months. The food & beverage was exemplary. What brought it all home was the team. From our first moment at the host stand, until we left, it was a stellar visit. Richard, our server was gracious, fun & super knowledgeable about the menu. The busser(I did not catch his name) was always ready to keep our service sharp & our table clean. Richard’s professionalism & experience(& ample charm) really enhanced our visit. We felt truly welcomed & appreciated. The table visit by Rick at the end was also above & beyond. We didn’t get to say hey to David Axelrod, but we were in the same room. ;-) We are looking forward to our next visit. Kudos to all. A great evening with great food. Thank you, Cody & Marci.

    Our meal at Girl & the Goat was wonderful! The service was friendly and helpful. He knew the menu and ensured our experience delicious. We began our dinner with the naan. The dips served alongside were excellent. Next we enjoyed the chickpea fritters that we crisp with creamy inside, accented by pomegranate. We definitely wanted to try the goat empanadas, and were glad that we did. Our next course that we enjoyed were the wood-fired mussels. The broth was delicious. We ended with the roasted pig face. Our server enticed us with dessert. We finished our meal with the apple hand pie. Overall, we loved this place.

    I took my mom for a Valentine's Day lunch. We went around 3 PM, and even though my reservation was at 3:30 PM the staff were nice enough to let me in. Granted it was a low volume of people eating at the time. We were sat near the windows which added to the ambience of our visit. The music made it feel like we were in an old fancy jazz club. I had the French onion soup and the chicken sandwich while my mom had the Walnut turkey club sandwich. Both sandwiches came with well seasoned fries. The food was delicious and our waitress, Annette, was very attentive and sweet. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely go again. I would highly recommend the Walnut Room.
