Eating in Chicago.

November 7, 2011 by shelley

We had the opportunity to eat at the hip and very trendy restaurant The Girl and a Goat. It was opened by Stephanie Izard, who won Bravo’s (fourth season) Top Chef. She mixes flavors from around the world helter skelter and comes up with a tasty dish that is served to the table as it is done. Consequently, everyone at the table tastes some of every dish. Surprisingly, every dish tastes good with every dish, even though there is such a mish/mash of flavors. The menu is presented with three columns, vegetables, fish and meat. We tried a couple of vegetables (the sauteed green beans were delicious and we loved the roasted beet/green bean/anchovy/avocado creme fraiche) a fish (sauteed prawns/peanut-pork ragout/spaghetti squash) and a couple of meats (smoked goat rilette empanadas and wood fired walters’chicken/yuzu harissa/fried pickles/kholrabi/grilled naan) We also had the ham frittes. Everyone loved the chicken. The goat empanadas were surprisingly good. We aren’t big fry eaters so the ham frittes were probably our least favorite. We had to get our reservations three months in advance if you can believe it. But we were glad we had the opportunity to eat at the Girl and the Goat.

We also got into the Ralph Lauren Restaurant for lunch just off of Michigan Ave. I had to check out the Rueben Sandwich.

The atmosphere is like a very formal library.
