    Overall really excellent. Only hiccup, my fiancée ordered an old fashioned twice, the second time around I don’t think they gave him an old fashioned, maybe just a simple scotch or bourbon. He only drinks old fashions and whatever they gave him the second time around was not it. This was after our entree and we didn’t want to be bothersome so we left without saying anything, that’s probably also our fault on our end.

    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.
