Hot spot

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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Stephanie Izard

MICHELIN Bib Gourmand
2022

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.

A-mazing! I have already made another reservation. We ordered just about everything on the menu and it was all spectacularly flavorful! The mussels, empanadas and chickpea fritters were my favorites with the sea bass rounding the top four.

This was a special night for me and my wife who was celebrating her 40th birthday. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful, making sure that all my specially requested accommodations were met. We had a lovely evening and most certainly will be coming back for more delicious food in the near future.

Wonderful everything with amazing food, service, drinks. Even had Happy Anniversary on the menu! Only complaint is noise level. The atmosphere is intimate and the music and mouse should be a bit lower. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Girl & the Goat is such a treat for the taste buds! Unusual food combinations makes every dish exquisite! A party in my mouth! The cocktails are fabulous too! They totally focus on the taste here, which makes it a unique food experience. My favs out of the dishes we had last night (but trust-- they were ALL good), were the green beans, the sea bass & the chocolate & peanut butter dessert! I HIGHLY recommend going here.

Incredible food - would recommend the pork shank, outstanding. Took a little time to take our order, then the service was fine. Tables are too close together - only go if you’re happy to be close to strangers!
