Tail Up Goat is a stylish, Michelin-starred bistro in Adams Morgan, offering inventive Mediterranean dishes and Caribbean-inspired drinks in a cozy ambiance.
"For fancy dates or just treating yourself, hit up Tail Up Goat. You've got two choices here: the à la carte menu at the bar or the $130 tasting menu in the sandalwood-lit dining room (get the tasting menu). The Mediterranean-Caribbean spot serves things like cheese and sorrel brioche buns that taste like the best bread and jam life has to offer, and charred gem lettuce that cuts like butter. The restaurant's neo-soul playlist is the cherry on top, coupled with the incredibly friendly wait staff, and you’re in for an unforgettable night." - omnia saed, mekita rivas
"An easygoing haven with a casual vibe, known for its refined take on Americana classics." - MICHELIN Guide
"Tucked away from Adams Morgan’s nightlife strip, this intimate neighborhood restaurant with a Michelin star and stellar wine list combines effortless Caribbean chill with impeccable service, leaving diners to spend dinner focusing on each other. Shareable plates make for a cozy table, though patrons may find themselves in a tiff over the last bite of crispy salt cod to dip in smoked cauliflower aioli. Giving up that last bite counts as a romantic gesture at a candle-lit table or booth. Tail Up Goat brought back its la carte menu in December to go along with a $135-per-person tasting option. Daring dates definitely need to try its new Nashville hot sweetbreads." - Tierney Plumb, Stephanie Carter
"This Adams Morgan neighborhood favorite with a Mediterranean menu (and a soft spot for all things Caribbean) maintained its one-star status. Dinner reservations for indoor and outdoor dining are available online. Customers pay $135 for a six-course menu that includes snacks, two set courses, a choice for a third course, cheese paired with sweets, and dessert. Chef Jon Sybert’s toasts — think red fife sourdough with charred sungold tomatoes, fresh chiles, pistachio, and yellowfin tuna — have their own following. There are also a la carte options at the bar." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
"A cozy, inviting restaurant inspired by Jill Tyler's childhood in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Known for its warm hospitality and excellent casual service, Tail Up Goat offers a unique dining experience with a focus on sustainable practices and local sourcing." - The MICHELIN Guide
