burgeoning food-o-philes (one of whom was in her third trimester and ready to dine fine), I'd recommend Girl and the Goat with the huge, theatrical gestures of the recently full. We ate like kings here, we really did, and the service was exemplary. It's a somewhat modern gestalt at play with semi-industrial touches, and though the room and the bar are somewhat divided, the place tends to play very open concept. This comes in handy when you want to feel like your meal's perhaps more than a meal, or say, an 'occasion' where the time you spend with those at your table is to be remembered. They may not be inventing fire here, but what they do they do quite well. You've likely sorted by this point that dishes tend to come family style and are meant for sharing, and among our samplings I recall a soft spot for the grilled beef short ribs (served with edamame and a scallion vinaigrette) and the ham frittes (which came accented by smoked tomato aioli). Other menu items came and went, and
wine, as is it's wont, flowed like meandering conversation. Those are nights when the clocks on the wall wind slow. And come to think of it, why shouldn't they? I am not someone who likes going where all the "cool kids" congregate, I actually try to avoid places that are trendy, elite, and are all the buzz. But it was a Saturday date night and my boyfriend surprised me with this place, and I'm not the type of girl that turns that down. We did not have a reservation, and I would suggest NOT following in our footsteps. We were told it would be a 2.5 hour wait (which we were prepared for) and chose to take a stroll around the West Loop area to work up our appetite. I will say that the biggest strike against this place is how pushy everyone was to get us to eat at the bar. We were asked when we put our name in twice, then again when we checked back in, then when we decided to get a drink we were asked by two cocktail servers and the bartender. I get it...you want me to eat at the
bar, but I don't want to and I will gladly wait for a table. Luckily our wait was only 1.5 hours (yes I realize that is still crazy long). Due to hearing that this was the "it place" to go and the pushiness of the staff I was not thrilled with my experience thus far, but that all did a 180 as soon as we were seated. Enter our fabulous server Brennan. He was like our own personal entertainment, making us laugh and feel warm & fuzzy inside. Also, when we sat down we were able to take in the very cool setting with exposed brick, intimate lighting, and lots
