    My first time dining at Daisies and wanted to belatedly celebrate my birthday with friends. From the beginning the food, service, and overall vibes were amazing! Our server Alberto also made my bday extra special. Loved the fritto misto, gooey butter cake, and the truffle ravioli. Will definitely be dining again when I'm back in town!

    Great dinner. The food and wine were sooooooo good and the wine was a great value. We got the artichoke, a zucchini pizza and two pastas. All were unreal. Our server was super attentive and not overbearing. We were originally seated near a door that was drafty and it was a cold night, I said something and we were immediately seated somewhere else that I wasn’t cold. Great service. Great restaurant. Will be back.

    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.
