They were attentive and made sure our water glasses were always full. The interior is beautiful with all of the plants. Their goat empanadas are popular for a reason, the aroma was amazing when it was served to our table. I really enjoyed it as an appetizer and the sauce paired well. The sautéed green beans with fish sauce aioli were umami heaven. It was just as delicious as I remembered, when I visited Girl & The Goat in Chicago a few years ago. The sticky pork shank was tender and fell right off the bone. I made lettuce wraps with the pork, pickled veggies, and sauces provided - wow, everything tasted so delicious! We also ordered the skirt steak to share, which was good, but a bit chewy. I definitely recommend getting the pork shank. Overall, Valley Goat has unique and tasty dishes that I don't think I can find elsewhere around South Bay. My family from out of town will be visiting soon, I'm excited to bring them here for brunch or dinner!

According to Antonio, their Chilaquiles with Carnitas is something we must come back and try. So now we have another reason to return! Amazing food, amazing staff--but be warned: it's loud and packed! Still, totally pricey $86 breakfast for two but worth it!

Topped with two poached medium eggs* and our scratch made pico de gallo. Served with duck fat potatoes) - super flavorful carnitas, perfectly poached egg. Not the traditional bene... no hollandaise sauce.. it is topped with pico de gallo instead. All in all ... great breakfast. Would I go back? Yes. Side note: one just opened in downtown SJ. I will need to check that on out too sometime.

Been here multiple times for brunch and dinner and each time everything was great!…read more Interior, nicely decorated/cute with flowers. You can also pick up some bouquets in their floral section. One thing I love to get is their Truffle Honey Egg Sando. I love how the honey compliments the sando and the truffle flavor is perf. Another memorable dish is the GIWA Prime Long Rib. So softtt, flavorful, perfect balance of meat and fattiness, and cut in to perfect bite size pieces. The salad on the side also adds a nice refreshing touch. Also plated nicely too. The table also loved the Truffle Potato Pancake. Again, they do truffle well! The Creamy Uni and Tobiko Rice Pot was also really good! The drinks come with a cute heart straw :) They have a few new, unique dishes that are definitely worth trying. Service was great, super friendly/communicative/informative. Parking lot can sometimes be packeddd/busy. Def reccomend going here just to try great food, have celebrations such as birthdays, or catch up with friends

A typical cute, Instagram-ready restaurant with Korean fusion cuisine. The space seems to be…read moredesigned for celebratory gatherings, with a flower bouquet shop onsite where guests can purchase arrangements. We visited when it was Hartford. The ambience definitely creates a nice mood for dining. Since I was there to eat--not to celebrate anything and not particularly concerned about the cuteness--I paid more attention to other things: the spacing between tables, which felt a little too tight and close together; the service; the seating; and, most importantly, the food quality. The staff were very attentive and gracious throughout our visit. The Korean Pork Cutlet was juicy and delicious. It was a generous portion--easily enough for two people. It came with a delicious corn soup, potato salad, and several condiments. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the American Wagyu Steak with Cheese Dip. I ordered it medium, but the meat was so tough it was like chewing leather. Definitely not what I expected from a Wagyu steak. Would I go back? Probably not for a while, unless I was looking for a place with a fun atmosphere for a celebration. For me, good food comes first, and unfortunately, the steak experience left me questioning the quality of their other beef dishes. And I'm a beef eater!

For dinner, I ordered the Seared Salmon, served with green beans and crispy potatoes -- PERFECTION! The salmon was beautifully seared with that delicious crispy exterior and topped with a lemon butter sauce. Every bite was on point! I'm so happy we happened upon this place. What started as a quick search for somewhere convenient before the concert turned into a fantastic find. I'll definitely be back!

Service was very friendly and attentive without ever feeling overbearing, and our drinks and food came out in good time. I really appreciated that the mocktails were just as tasty and thoughtfully made as regular cocktails, which is not always the case at bars and restaurants. For appetizers, we shared the Fried Pickles and the Mac N' Cheese Balls, both of which were crispy, yummy, and perfect for snacking with drinks. I ordered the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich as my main and it was delicious great crunch on the chicken, good heat, and still juicy inside. The only thing to keep in mind is that this place gets very busy, especially during peak hours, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation if you're planning to come with a group. Overall, it's an awesome spot for casual drinks, cocktail/mocktails, and shareable bites, and I'd happily come back.

Crispy chicken + gochujang honey + brioche + a fried egg? Whoever came up with this understood the assignment. My mom got the Shrimp Po' Boy, and my nephew went for the BLT. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked better than the last thing. The umami fries deserve their own paragraph because we kept ordering them. And ordering them again. And then somehow ordering them AGAIN. At some point I think the fries just became part of the family. We also tried the deviled eggs with tobiko, which were SO good! But let's talk about the drinks because this is where things got dangerous. Our server Sam was AMAZING. He was attentive without hovering, knew the menu, and gave us recommendations that were genuinely spot-on. We trusted him completely by the end of the meal, which is how we ended up trying several cocktails. My favorite was the Low rider because I'm a mezcal girly and the espresso martini was especially good definitely one of the better ones I've had. I loved the different ingredients they use, including Ola Coffee, which gave it something a little different. And then Sam recommended the whiskey butter cake. That cake was the perfect ending. Every recommendation he gave us was a hit, so at this point I would probably let Sam plan my entire brunch menu. We had such a fun family brunch and genuinely left talking about how much we enjoyed everything. Great food, great cocktails, great service, and a staff member who clearly knows how to make people have a good time. The ambiance was also such a vibe. The interior is really cute and we got seated in a booth, which made it feel extra cozy and perfect for hanging out and enjoying brunch. I could totally see this being a great spot for family brunch, drinks with friends, or even a cute date. It has that kind of atmosphere where you can dress it up a little or keep it casual and still feel right at home. 10/10 would brunch here again.

We tried the loco moco and chicken and waffles instead. Both were good and portions are average sized. Usually we can't finish brunch between the 2 of us but this was easily consumed with no leftovers. The chicken and waffles came with matcha butter which was a nice touch. Overall a safe choice for brunch and I'm interested in coming back to try some of their lunch/dinner options!

On to the food: This place has great burgers and chicken sandwiches, but if you've ever wandered by you can smell them grilling chickens. They're delicious overall, but a little inconsistent - sometimes it's a little too salty, other times the skin isn't rendered enough in a spot, or the meat is slightly dry in a spot. I'm making it sound bad, but I order this like half the time I'm there because it's delicious enough the inconsistency is not worth skipping this for. If you are in a hurry to clog your arteries the French fries with blue cheese and bacon will satisfy your most primal cravings while simultaneously wiping a year off your lifespan in a single order. Might be worth it. It's an absolutely huge portion. Whole plate is probably 5000 calories. This place is a local gem and you shouldn't miss it. Just know what it is and have a fun time.

The restaurant was cool, thanks to their A/C. I was happy when we got in line to order and there were only a few guests in front of us. The line moved quickly and we placed our order, grabbed our soft drink cups, grabbed our buzzer and found a table. The buzzer went-off and we grabbed our food. My wife and I enjoyed a Bacon Swiss Burger, our son ordered a Double Cheeseburger and we ordered a basket of Garlic Fries. They delivered an order of Loaded Fries to us by mistake. We told the server we didn't order it, but he said it was their mistake, so it was on the house. Our burgers were good-sized, flavorful and filling. The Garlic Fries were awesome, especially if you like garlic. We only ate about half of the Loaded Fries, since it was just so much food. Help yourself to refills of soda, if you like. The staff is always courteous and friendly. They also bus the tables regularly, which is appreciated. This is one of my fave places to enjoy a burger!
