    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 booked this reservation a month ago for my husbands birthday. I have celiac disease so it was important to find a place that was accommodating. They went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience for us all! From the staff signed birthday card to the personalized menu and all staff wishing him happy birthday throughout the meal, the attention to detail was incredible. The food? Oh my goodness! They walked me through the menu and let me know what could be made safe for my needs and provided everyone else the same attention based on what they were craving. Everyone enjoyed their dinner & I had the best gluten free dinner roll from a restaurant ever! Dessert was just as good as dinner if not better! My daughter loved the cookies and cream ice cream and she’s pretty picky. My husband and I shared the espresso brûlée and loved every bite even though we were full before ordering it. You don’t leave something like that behind! Overall, such a great experience! We highly recommend!

    Cute decorations that transformed the interior of the restaurant. Hostess was very nice. Our server/waiter was a bit on the slower side and forgot a lot of things we asked for so I had to repeat several times. Someone requested items never came. Also he didn’t check in on us the entire meal and it was impossible to flag him down unless I got out of my seat. Food was great and pretty standard otherwise. They had valentines edition slider boxes which was pretty cute!

    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.
