as the rest of dinner. I had always heard great things about this place... and I knew it was difficult to get a reservation here too. So, when my friend had a reservation she could no longer use, I took it off her hands. I had a date night here with my boyfriend last Friday, and it was wonderful. I was a little intimidated at first because I'm kind of picky with food and everything looked eccentric. It was all amazing! It is all small plates, so between the two of us, we picked 4. That was more than enough. We had the pork shank dish which was delicious! It was served with fruit and Naan bread, all the flavors complimented each other very well. We had a broccoli and blue cheese dish, the Ham Frites (soooo good) and the Goat Empanadas. I was honestly hesitant to try Goat, but I needed to step out of the box a little. I'm glad I did because they were AWESOME. They make a pretty strong cocktail too. My friend forgot to tell us that she made her reservation for an anniversary, so we
were surprised with a free Zucchini cake dessert, which was DELICIOUS, to say the least. Our server was really helpful and knowledgeable and the place is beautiful. I figured it would be really pricey and packed but it wasn't. The atmosphere is pretty casual too. Definitely going back here, we've been raving about it for the last week. What can I say about 'The Girl and the Goat' that hasn't already been said? The meal was phenomenal! Since the concept is small plates my honey and I ordered 9 plates including dessert. Mentioning dessert makes me want to review it first; we had the potato doughnuts. Seeing as though I love sweets so much that I can literally skip dinner all together and just get right down to the best part, I must say that I may be a bit partial in my dessert review. The potato doughnuts were fluffy, light, golden brown, and DELICIOUS!!!!
I didn't know what to expect from 'potato doughnuts' but after having those I have decided to promote the philosophy 'LET THEM EAT POTATO!' Now that my heart rate has sped up and my eyes are all glassy, I guess I had better tell you all about food as well. We had: whim, entered a time for Friday night at this popular new restaurant - thinking there wouldn't be a chance in hell there would be any openings. But much to my surprise, there was one opening at 8:45pm. Voila! The place was packed, as it should be for its second weekend since opening. I walked to the host who took my name and seated my friend and I right when she walked in. There was no wait - and even if there was, I think we would've been fine. I noticed two large communal tables and another section with couches and lower tables for people to order drinks and a few bites before their dinner. We were seated at the end of a long communal booth right next to the chef's tables and the exposed kitchen where we got to watch th
e master and her cheerful minions at work. Our waiter was excellent! I have never had better service. He start out by saying that he used to work for a wine distributor and knew every bottle on the menu inside
