Went there for the customer appreciation menu. Very good except the chicken was not fully done. They brought a second one and it was no better. They removed it from my bill and the manager came over to apologize and ened up giving us a free ribs and potato to go on the house! Now that is customer service! Not to mention the Old Fashion was outstanding!

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.

We shared 3 appetizers, 1 dumpling, the pork belly ( main course), and dessert. The portions are large enough that we were full. Ask your server about the food, as Ukrainian combinations and ingredients seem strange, but work beautifully. Rather than have a cocktail, I had an infusion- a shot of vodka or brandy with a fruit or herbal infusion. I still could not bring myself to do the horseradish one!
