Girl & the Goat

Girl & the Goat is Stephanie Izard’s restaurant at 809 W. Randolph St. in the West Loop, on the Randolph Street stretch that the restaurant helped turn into a dining destination after opening in 2010. The menu is shared plates cooked over a wood fire, with bold global flavors, seasonal menus and local ingredients, including the goat dishes the room is named for. Dinner runs nightly and brunch on Sundays, and the bar is the walk-in fallback when tables are gone.
