one sitting near us seemed to recognize him by face, but hello, this is Mr. (I died a little. Seriously.) The check was way less than I had anticipated, which was another nice bonus. My husband joked that G&tG did restaurant-ing the way Tyra Banks does modeling: H-to-T. Everything about the place was wonderful - the decor, the staff, the food. Even the bathrooms were perfect. Oh, and did I mention the music? When the Eels "Fresh Feeling" came on, I knew I was home (it was the song I walked down the aisle to at our wedding). I vow to return to this restaurant every single time I'm in Chicago. Seriously, I loved it that much. A close friend of one of my classmates was in town, and we wanted to take him somewhere special in Chicago for the night. We didn't have any reservations in advance, and called a few places. (Somehow) Girl and the Goat had space left for a same-night reservation that Monday! I've heard that people have had to get reservations months in advance so I guess we just g
ot super lucky. I immediately liked the rustic/country feel of the restaurant, and I was impressed with the good service. Our waitress told us that for four people, we should order between 8 and 10 dishes. However, being poor med students and not too terribly hungry, we decided on 6 - two appetizers and one dish selected by each of us. This turned out to be the right amount. We followed the style of sharing the dishes family style, but some of them were seemed hard to share just given their structure. We tried: We tried to decide on a favorite dish but couldn't really agree because they were all so delicious. If I

(I'm guessing this is a Chicago thing, because we've seen it more than once this trip). But our waitress was warm and friendly, my water glass was never empty, and nobody gave me grief when I only had one glass of wine. The plates are offered in categories, so we just decided to pick one from each. We started off with the pretzel bread and smoked salmon cream, which was OMG good. There's nothing like fresh-baked bread, is there? And there was nothing fishy about the salmon cream - it was just rich and lovely. Next up were the wood-grilled oysters, which were cooked perfectly. I've only just discovered that I loved oysters (after a trip to NOLA) - they were buttery soft and just super tasty. The chickpea fritters were different from expected, but not in a bad way - they just melted in your mouth. Our goat empanadas had a light, crisp exterior and were everything good in the world. We got adventurous with our proteins, opting for the braised beef tongue (my husband's a fan of tongue; I
'd never tried it before but am SO GLAD I did) and the fried frog's legs (he was terrified, but we're both converts). It was all so so so tasty. Of course, we couldn't leave without dessert. We went with the rhubarb shortcake and plantain cake. There was something a little disconcerting about the latter, but again - not in a bad way. There was just a bit of bitterness to offset the sweet, and I decided after eating most of it that I liked it (took me a while - it was just a really complex dessert!). The rhubarb was awesome, too, all kinds of sweet and tart and crisp. As a little bonus: right before dessert, I watched Rob Reiner walk into the restaurant. Totally thought I was hallucinating or making things up, but no, the waitress came by after seeing my shocked face and said, "You saw him, right?" Apparently he comes there regularly. No
