    Our meal at Girl & the Goat was wonderful! The service was friendly and helpful. He knew the menu and ensured our experience delicious. We began our dinner with the naan. The dips served alongside were excellent. Next we enjoyed the chickpea fritters that we crisp with creamy inside, accented by pomegranate. We definitely wanted to try the goat empanadas, and were glad that we did. Our next course that we enjoyed were the wood-fired mussels. The broth was delicious. We ended with the roasted pig face. Our server enticed us with dessert. We finished our meal with the apple hand pie. Overall, we loved this place.

    Exceptional Valentine’s Day Dinner at The Barrel Club – A Night to Remember! I had the pleasure of celebrating Valentine’s Day at The Barrel Club in Oak Lawn, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance set the perfect tone for a romantic evening. The service was outstanding—attentive yet never intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations, ensuring our experience was top-tier. Now, onto the star of the evening—the steak. Cooked to absolute perfection, the cut was tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned. Every bite was a delight, paired beautifully with their selection of handcrafted cocktails and a well-curated wine list. The sides were equally impressive, elevating the entire meal to a five-star dining experience. To top it all off, the dessert selection was divine, providing the perfect sweet ending to our night. If you’re looking for an upscale dining experience with impeccable service, outstanding food, and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere, The Barrel Club is a must-visit. We will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Amazing food and staff. I have never been more grateful with the staff at a restaurant than with the staff at Hide + Seek. Due to certain events, I was late to my reservation. The staff was kind enough to extend our time even when we were only allotted 90 minutes. Extremely grateful! Will definitely be returning! This time on time! 😉
