Girl & the Goat opened in 2010 and whenever I'm in town, I've always failed to secure a reservation here (it's that popular!). This was my second time dining here and it never disappoints. I like the unpretentious vibe and its location in the West Loop is near other fine restaurants like Grace and Avec. I look forward to Chef Izard's future projects and I hope one day she receives the coveted Michelin star.
