I really enjoyed dining at girl & the goat. Their menu selections were spectacular, and they were able to accommodate those with dairy intolerance (which most restaurants are unable to do). Their food selections were great and flavorful, and their staff was friendly. I would definitely recommend the chicken or steak dishes.

The service and food was great. I had the Mago chopped salad with grilled chicken breast. My husband had carne asada enchiladas. They were both amazing. Highly recommend!

We started with the French Onion Soup, and it hit the spot! I had the Caprese Chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. I really enjoyed the taste of this sandwich, and the fries were delicious. My husband had the BYOB - he had a burger with fries! Large and delicious. We shared a bottle of Malbec wine. Jeff B. took fantastic care of us! He is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We will definitely ask for him again. THANKS Jeff!

Service was really great. We arrived at 10 when they opened so it was really cold while we were eating and our food got cold fast because of being seated right under the vent but once the heat kicked on it was super warm with great vibes. Despite the cold food it was delicious.
