it's available, order it and thank me later Dessert Sampler: they were kind enough to put all 4 of heir desserts on a platter for us to sample and they were the perfect ending to the meal...my wife absolutely loved the date cake with blueberries It took only a nanosecond to say yes to an invite to dine at Girl and the Goat. I have a girl crush on Stephanie Izard, for reals. I may or may not have spied her at Midsommarfest one year and jumped up and down with excitement like a giddy teenager to the bewilderment of my friend; fortunately I maintained my composure this time. I did have a small "oh crap" moment after accepting the invite, see this girl doesn't eat goat or any of its red-blooded friends. Fortunately, it's not impossible for those not eating any or certain meats to dine here, but it obviously limits your options. The space is great; dark without feeling like a cave and packed without feeling cramped. Service was impeccable from start to finish, so attentive and friendl
y. The staff glided around the bustling space, like an artfully choreographed dance. Someone on one side of the table would fill our waters and shuttle away the empty bottle and seconds later another person would glide by the other side and deliver a new one. We started with some bread accompanied by a sweet onion butter and herb oil. The bread was warm, crusty and delicious, both spreads great compliments to it. The carb-whore in me wanted to order a second plate and not share it. The mains, meant to be shared, fall into three categories: vegetable, fish and meat with approximately 7 choices in each. I tried the pan fried shishito peppers with parmesan, sesame, and miso; chickpeas fritters with heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozzarella; seared scallops with pumpkin brandade, pecans, fried brussel sprouts, tarragon, and pomegranate; pan roasted barramundi with black beans, buttermilk squash, and chicken of the woods mushrooms and a glass of pinot grigio to wash it down. All of the dish
es were quite good, and well seasoned; I can rarely eat a meal without adding salt or pepper, but didn't even consider it here. I think my favorite of the four was the scallop dish; the scallops were perfectly cooked and succulent and the brussel sprouts were a great complement. My next favorite was the chickpea dish, I loved the way the flavors and textures balanced each other out. The other two dishes may have fallen to the bottom of my list, but there really were no losers here; even my least favorite dishes were still delicious. I'm not one to rush out to try new, hot places, but this is well worth the trip and not nearly as spendy as I expected. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, just don't expect to pop in without a reservation.
