We had a great dinner at Girl and the Goat! We had the chickpea fritters and the pomegranate was a great touch of flavor. We also loved the sea bass, and will come back for it! Other favorites included the peanut butter mousse and chocolate dessert. Shout out to nick (I think) in the kitchen who gifted us mini beans (green beans) and the miso maple budino (if you like pralines you’ll love this), both were phenomenal.
