Honestly, as an avid traveler for food: Mister Tiger knocked it out of the park. This was my girlfriend and I’s 4 year anniversary, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the night. To start: our server Simon was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. This goes a long way of course. Next, the service was so fast. We ordered and boom food & drink is already on the table. Then, the quality of the food itself. Fantastic. I highly recommend the rib- do not miss out. In the end, we received a dessert on the house and a tee shirt which I asked for- but they did not let me pay. All in all a fantastic experience and I don’t have anything but good words for this establishment and the employees of it.

My wife and I finally got to try Girl & the Goat and glad we did. The menu is not extensive, but we had a perfect meal by sharing one item from each section. The food is creative, approachable, and delicious. Service was excellent, attentive, and friendly.

This is such a classic restaurant in Chicago. I had dined there years ago and was amazed by the food and ambiance. My husband and I visited recently hoping for the same feeling and were very pleasantly surprised. The interior is just as special as it was, the food is amazing and now I can really appreciate the service. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for. special night out. It's as good as it ever was!
