Girl & the Goat opened in 2010 with the goal of offering a menu of bold, flavorful dishes designed to share in a fun and lively atmosphere. To complement the experience, we offer a curated selection of wines from around the world, focusing on small producers, along with a rotating list of craft beers and a playful cocktail menu crafted by our bartenders. The ever-changing menu, driven by locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, features favorites like sautéed green beans, roasted oysters, crispy short ribs, and confit goat belly. While reservations are encouraged for the dining room, our bar welcomes walk-ins, adventurers, and those who prefer spontaneity.

From the OpenTable editors: When it opened in 2010, Girl & the Goat ushered in a new era of casual fine dining on the West Loop’s now-iconic Restaurant Row. In a cozy, rustic-chic space, feast on mega-award-winning (James Beard, Top Chef, Iron Chef) Stephanie Izard’s bold, globally influenced dishes like sweet and sour wood-fired whole branzino and goat empanadas that prove why this MICHELIN-Starred restaurant remains as hot and relevant as ever.

    Mussels were delicious and our server was attentive and gave excellent recommendations. Her name was Kona. However the plates started to pile up quickly and as more were being dropped and we had to prompt the food runner to take them back. The pig face also wasn’t our favorite. While conceptually it sounded great, it was just so overwhelmingly fatty with no balance. Overall we weren’t wowed with this place and I’ve been meaning to try Stephanie’s restaurant for a very long time.

    My wife and I had a quick getaway to Chicago for her birthday. OpenTable booking made it simple to make reservations and any changes. Heads-up, parking will be a challenge so I recommend using valet! Make a reservation ahead of time to guarantee seating. The staff were very great at anticipating the wait time and so we did for 30 min since we arrived earlier. We were seated at the chef’s table which neither of us expected, and was a treat to experience. My wife enjoyed every bit of the good chaos in the kitchen and watching Ted & Kishaun (apologies for typo), prep the food with passion. Service was great all the way around and all the staff were attentive - kudos! The food, this is by far the highlight of the night and the trip! Flavor at its fullest and the portions are ample for two. We had the best empanadas to date, the skirt steak was a hit, and the pork belly was delish. Wrap dinner with apple pie is a a treat on its own. Thank you for making our trip and birthday celebration a memorable one.

    This was our first visit to Girl & the Goat. It’s one of the most innovative and delicious meals we've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The attention to detail, the masterful combination of ingredients, flavors, and textures made every dish an absolute delight. Thank you Chef!

    One of the most incredible meals we’ve had in a long time. Food, service, cocktails, ambiance were out of this world. Don’t miss the chickpea fritters or green beans.

    The food, the drinks, the dessert, the service, and the atmosphere were all on point, and worth every dime. Every course perfectly prepared and timed at our table. Happy to try foods I wouldn’t normally try, and I was rewarded with amazing flavors every time. We’ll be back for sure, a we can’t wait to try the other restaurants owned by Chef Stephanie.
