    Food was delicious but the lamb shank was a lot less meat than most places where I have ordered the same thing. Regardless , it was still delicious, just not as filling so my daughter who ordered the jam shank had to have some of my pasta to fill up. Wait staff was nice but clearly busy. Kitchen allowed us to switch from fries that came with the shank to asparagus, so we were grateful for that. All in all, a good experience 👍🏼

    I cannot count the number of visits we've had to The Girl and the Goat, but it continues to be a favorite for both personal and professional dining. I brought three colleagues, who have never been, to the restaurant for dinner. One diner is vegetarian, but there are menu offerings and options available to provide them with enough to eat. All three were quite impressed with the food. My only complaint would be our table was right next to the kitchen, which can be loud. However, we made due, and had an enjoyable meal. Service is always very good, and the cocktails are fun. If you're interested in dining, make sure you book way ahead, as there is almost no chance to get a table day of.
