Girl & the Goat
Girl & the Goat Review
Bravo's "Top Chef" season 4 champion, Stephanie Izard's highly anticipated restaurant lives up to the hype, serving sharable plates of seasonal Mediterranean fare. The antithesis of fussy, Girl and the Goat's rustic decor features communal butcher tables, dark antique fixtures, and an open kitchen. Dishes are grouped into straightforward categories—vegetable, fish, and meat—and range from marinated English peapods with buttermilk-balsamic vinaigrette to roasted pig's face with tamarind and cilantro sauces. Not surprisingly, goat-centric plates take prominence, including a goat-liver mousse with pickled rhubarb and blackberry mustarda. Desserts are also inventive, like the indulgent goat cheese cake with hazelnut crunch, candied beets, and cajeta.
