Girl & the Goat

New American, shared plates · $$$ 

Stephanie Izard's Chicago hit, in a high-ceilinged Arts District warehouse with an open kitchen and a long bar. Order more than you think and pass it all around: the wood-oven bread with its rotating butter, the goat dishes the room is named for, and the green beans in fish-sauce vinaigrette, a signature since Chicago. Weekend brunch is its own scene.

Reservations recommendedBooks on OpenTable, and prime-time tables go days ahead. The bar takes walk-ins. Brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 10am.
