amazing. It was a ruby red grapefruit kufli. All sorts of textures & flavors everywhere. I can't even really figure out how to describe it, but it should be tried by everyone! Price is very reasonable. We basically had 2 8-course meals for $135 before tax & tip. That included a couple glasses of wine as well. When you take a foodie trip, there are certain expectations of the carefully researched destinations that made the short list. Girl & the Goat is a place that managed to exceed said expectations, even those as lofty as my own. This has been on my Chicago list for several trips, but due to lack of available reservations, I just never bothered to go. This time, though, timing worked out so that we showed up right at opening as walk-ins and got two prime bar seats - which we proceeded to monopolize for the next few hours as we over-ordered our way down the deceivingly simple looking menu. I call it deceivingly simple because "beef tongue, salsa verde" sounds like a pretty basic
dish, but what comes out is anything but. More like, beef tongue with the most interesting salsa verde ever accented with cucumber and other unexpected but fitting flavors. After only a few dishes, it becomes apparent that the most remarkable part of this restaurant is the amazing flavor profiles - some expected, and some unexpected, but all spot-on. The perfect lemony acidity to highlight the grilled baby octopus with buttery potatoes and guanciale. (I didn't even see bacon on the menu!) A dessert of brownie, toffee, and uhm...what's this I spy? Shiitake mushrooms? Sounds pretty creepy, but is actually delicious. Beets with avocado? Try it. They also do wonderfully with textures: why add plain old capers when you can add crispy, fried ones to your goat carpaccio? Service was delightful, and my biggest regret was not having tried Girl & the Goat sooner. Don't be intimidated by the lack of available reservations: just walk in; this place is well worth the wait.
