one! Everything we had here was awesome. They brought an extra dessert because it was my birthday and I don't even like chocolate cake but I could have devoured this one on my own. I knew I was visiting Chicago in a month. I knew I wanted an incredible place to eat, but where to choose? i'm on a reasonable budget (Alinea, OUT), wanted somewhere exciting and fresh, and of course features amazing food. With a little googling, a little yelping, I realized Girl and the Goat was the perfect fit. Aha! Now to make a reservation. Snap. As we all know, reservations here require about TWO months of notice. So I make a sadface reservation at 10:45 at night via opentable, then call the restaurant to ask what the deal was with walk-ins. Very unpredictable the girl says. Can be up to two hours, the girl says. My heart crumbles. But come in before six and it's a much better chance of a short wait, she says. Ahhaaa. So after a long day of sight-seeing, we get our groggy selves ready from a nap, take a cab from our South Loop hotel (make it in six minutes), and we're in the door by 5:33. And we're shown right to a communal table. There were two other couples already there (sitting next to, not across from eachother). We got seated with our backs to the kitchen; I immediately ask if we can sit across from the kitchen (because you want to see that stuff). Now for the food. Service was amazing. No need to extoll the fantastic service, it was flawless and attentive all night from every angle. It was in service of the FOOD. Drink: Orchard Dram (pretty sweet, pretty tasty, but mostly very pretty). Food: Apple bread (whole pistachios, two types butter, amahzing.) Four wood fired oysters, horseradish aioli, bacon. drool. Chickpea fritters: fritters on their own were crisp on the outside, a bit wet on the inside, forgettable, generally, but with the peppers, the entire plate was just REALLY good. Fighting over the last bite good. Himachi crudo: elegant and delicious. If you like raw fish, you will probably like this. Pigface: sounds so .. adventurous, but the waiter described it as a "breakfast dish." It's not really all that scary. But it is GOOD. It's not sausage, it's not scrapple, it's like this perfectly textured, marinated some strange part of pig with soft egg and poky potato straw things that's just nom nom nom. Walter's Chicken. When he ordered chicken, I was like WUT. But this chicken was by far the best thing we ate that night. It was the best chicken we've ever eaten. Even though I was exploding with food, I had to keep picking at this chicken. The chicken comes with these "extra's" (naan, fried pickles), whatever, knock that bullshit to the ground, save room for the chicken. It was succulent and tender and just everything that is good in the world. Dessert: not that good. food euphoria averted any complaining, but the chocolate bouchon was just really forgettable. even the "foie fluff" just tasted like marshmallow. AND our check was $150. TOTAL. with four drinks and all that food. See what I mean? Go. There. Now. Ish. If I were to
