We enjoyed every dish we ordered. Garlic shrimp, potato onion omelet,goat cheese and red sauce, Brussels sprout salad, chicken skewers. The only downside was plates not being cleared or table wiped as we went along. We finally tracked someone down to do that.

We were surprised to be seated at the counter overlooking the kitchen and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The chefs and front-of-house teams are amazing to watch in action. Every dish is so flavorful and creative and you never know what is coming next from your selections. Just note, it can get very loud since orders are being called out in addition to the already energetic restaurant behind you if you're seated in this location. Another great dinner at Girl & the Goat!

Seafood soup was excellent but took a while to arrive at the table. The Argentinian steak was also very good and tender. Will go back again when in the area.
