I usually am not super into pricey prix fixe menu
I usually am not super into pricey prix fixe menu restaurants since I often feel like it isn't worth the hype or money - BUT I really love Tail Up Goat. It's always an interesting and unique experience. The flavors are super off the beaten path and creative. They're willing to take risks with weird flavors - it pays off. I love the surprise each time I go since the menu changes regularly. I'm also GF DF, and they are very good at not just accommodating me but making sure I have an equal experience. It means a lot since lots of prix fixe places refuse to make any modifications.

Be the first to ReplyThe food and service was amazing as usual.
The staff are all super kind. The only other comment that I want to add is about the other patrons. A foursome was seated next to us that reeked of cologne and perfume. What a dining experience killer. We come to a fine restaurant like this to smell the food and the wine not the neighbors. If you want to wear perfume save it for the bedroom.
Be the first to ReplyMichelin starred restaurants have a higher expectation.
There was nothing offensive about tail up goat, but I also see nothing that makes it distinctive. In short, it was average for a Michelin starred restaurant. Highlights from the meal: the squab was perfectly cooked and I never thought I'd like prunes, but it was so good! The monkfish was also perfectly prepared, but the mushroom sauce below it was disappointing...seemed sort of congealed. The cheese course was divine. It tasted like butter. Dessert was frangipane tart which was average. Attire/dress code: I wore button down, dark jeans, and nice sneakers and I did not feel out of place. People wore sweaters, button downs, tshirts, and suits so wear whatever you want! But somewhere on the smart casual spectrum would be just fine. Service was fine, nothing to complain about, but also nothing to merit an automatic 22%. Places like this are what's causing the whole tipflation angst. Thirty years ago, 15% was standard. Somehow that became 20% and now we're trying to make 22% expected?? And if there is no choice in either selecting the menu or the tip, why not just make it all part of one charge and say service is included?

This is a super cute place to dine and the staff are very friendly! My wife and I came in very hungry as we did not eat lunch. The snacks and veggie (asparagus) starter were both delicious. We loved every bite and just wished there was more of it! The main dish was squab which was a new dish for us both. We really didn't know what to expect but it was tasty. Dessert was amazing and we both left feeling happy and satisfied!
Be the first to ReplyCould only get a reservation for the bar (which offered
Could only get a reservation for the bar (which offered both the six course dinner menu or the a la carte menu) After reviewing the two menus decided to trust the chef's six course dinner. The outcome was a delicious meal. Started with three snacks: stuffed date, squab leg confit and herbed yoghurt; scallop crudo, vinegar, shiso, radish and chive; and a ricotta pancake, caviar, chive. Each item was a delicate morsel of flavors and offered a preview of the main dishes. White asparagus taramasalata trout roe and quinoa; squab breast cipollini and red wine prune; roasted monkfish sweet potato black trumpet mushroom; brioche craquelin hummingbird cheese fermented green tomato candied walnuts The frangipane tart with orange marmalade was a superb and delicious dessert. This was certainly an excellent meal developed by a savvy chef and prepared by a friendly and professional staff. The bar and dinning area were lively and comfortable and the attentive staff was the "frosting on the cake"
Be the first to ReplySadly, this restaurant was not worth our time nor money.
This is my first review on Yelp to advise people to be cautious of this place. We paid over $400 for course meal for two and glass of wine each. The built-in 22% gratuity was also sadly not worth what we were serviced on. The quality of the ingredients (we were served various root vegetables, purees, and about 2 ounces of pigeon (!!) meat for example) and amount of food was just not up to par with what was expected of a place with Michelin star. We will not be returning again.
Be the first to ReplyWorst dining experience ever!!! NOT worthy of a Michelin
Worst dining experience ever!!! NOT worthy of a Michelin star by any stretch of the imagination. Food was cheap ingredients delivered late and cold. Table was dirty (no tablecloths) and wait staff rude. When a wrong order was delivered, staff argued that it was correct. Seriously, who does that? I'm allergic to shellfish so when food is delivered in a shell shaped dish, shouldn't the waitstaff have a clue the order is wrong? No, they degraded the customer by telling them they are wrong to question them. And, I'm paying to be treated this way? Do not waste your money here. And, it's loud.
Be the first to ReplyWorst MS restaurant visited.
Not worth the hype at all. Quite frankly, begs to question whether you should trust Michelin star ratings. Although, other MS restaurants have been phenomenal, this one on the other hand is not worth it! Spent $500 for our five year anniversary! We went and that's that. Never again!!!!!
Be the first to ReplyTried out a few of their courses and would said everything
Tried out a few of their courses and would said everything was pretty good! Some of the dishes had a nice burst of flavour, while some were still good but I suppose I expected more. Overall, I liked this place and wasn't packed when I went. Parking was a little iffy but managed to find a lot to park in. Staff were nice. It was a little dark in the place but still a nice restaurant to vibe in.

Interestingly different menu. Every course was delicious. Portions were just right. Great service. Very satisfied.
Be the first to ReplyI recently visited Tail Up Goat with a friend for my
I recently visited Tail Up Goat with a friend for my birthday celebration and I can honestly say that I had an amazing time. This venue is definitely on the casual side, so no need to dress up unless that's your thing. As soon as you step in you're greeted by dim lighting and a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like you're at a friend's house for an excellent time. As far as food options they offer menus for vegetarian and vegan lifestyles outside of their regular menu. Although I wanted to try their vegetarian menu, which sounded amazing I opted for their regular menu. The smoked black cod was surprisingly decant and melted like butter on my tongue. The pork croquette was rich but equally balanced with the accompanying red cabbage and apple honey. The coffee rubbed beef tenderloin was just that "tender" and succulent. Dare I say the most tender item I've had all year...YES! The only that that didn't live up to my expectations was the pecorino cake. I loved flavors of the strong cheese forward flavor and the orange turmeric jam, but the cake itself was very very dense and bordering the line of dry. Overall, I would welcome coming back during the next menu change to see what the chefs come up with.
Be the first to ReplyIn short, a mixed bag: 1.
The food was fine, though not memorable 2. Staff were pleasant, but one interaction left a bad taste 3. The overall experience was not worth the price We took two visiting family members to Tail Up Goat last week. This was their first Michelin experience and our first time at this restaurant. Tail Up Goat has a fixed dinner menu. We ordered two bottles of wine and the Ossetra caviar. We did not order any cocktails. The price was about $900, including tax and the 22%(!) service fee. I don't have much to say about the food. We enjoyed it. But nothing stood out. Staff were friendly. But one interaction left me wanting. When we decided to get the caviar, I asked if it could be brought out after, not with, the appetizer course. I figured this was standard operating procedure but wanted to confirm. I'm glad I did. The waitress said she would check with her manager. When she returned, she told me that the restaurant could accommodate my request, but that I would still have to vacate my table after our allotted dining time ran out (two-and-a-half hours, per the restaurant website). This felt cheap: This ain't bottomless brunch, and Ossetra ain't chips and dip. Our dinner companions had never had Ossetra before, and we wanted them to enjoy the luxury of it. That took an extra five minutes; there was never any risk of our table overstaying its welcome. This is a good place to talk a bit about expectations. Perhaps I put too much stock in the Michelin people, and perhaps I'm too traditional. But for nearly $1,000, you shouldn't have to think about time at all, let alone the stopwatch running on you in the back of house. You shouldn't have to pick up your coat from the floor throughout the night because it slipped off the back of your booth and nobody offered you a place to hang it. You shouldn't have to suffer the final indignity of a 2%-too-much service charge. These are small details, yes. But they matter at this level of the game. Tips for the restaurant: 1. We remember the way a restaurant makes us feel. This is the hospitality industry, after all. Michelin-level staff should have discretion to grant simple patron requests without first having to ask a manager. When granting those requests--especially after their being approved by a manager--staff should be magnanimous ("of course we can do that") instead of nagging ("watch the clock, bucko"). 2. Offer a place for our coats. If you see one on the ground, pick it up. 3. Cut the service fee to the standard 20%. The extra few bucks aren't worth the loss in patron goodwill. Tail Up Goat might be fine for date night, but, for the price, go somewhere else to truly celebrate. At the very least, $900 should buy you some white tablecloths; a memorable meal; and the chance, if only for a few hours, to forget about time.

The service was excellent, the vibe was great, pretty intimate. However for a Michelin star, the food fell very short for my expectations. I know this restaurant is on the "cheaper" end of a Michelin star, but both me and my girlfriend were not impressed with the food like we expected. There were a few dishes that stood out (the salty cod balls, which you have to pay extra for, and the scallops, as well as the dessert were memorable), but most of them, including the entrees were very forgettable. The cocktails and wine seemed to be pretty good though! We still had a great time and recommend people at least try it, but don't think it'd be worth the money to come back a second time.

Truly incredible food, I ventured out of my comfort zone with a few of the plates and found myself thoroughly enjoying each one. Highly recommend! We also had a super personable waitress, Emilia, who made our experience really great
Be the first to ReplyPoor, rushed service, where no one asked us how our food
Poor, rushed service, where no one asked us how our food was. Demands were made on how we order, and in what sequence we would get our food, bread. Extra charge for 16 dollar overly greasy bread, with lard, and scallop butter. Small portions, of lukewarm food, that we ate because we were hungry. Duck was overcooked. Rice with the fish was undercooked and the skin of the fish should have been crispy, best dishes were dessert, and the portions were super small. We walked out feeling dismissed and very disappointed. ,
Be the first to ReplyI wanted to love this place so much, and most things were
I wanted to love this place so much, and most things were good, but as a whole it sort of missed. I would offer this review as constructive criticism, I want this place to thrive! We did the $98 tasting menu. We were seated at the bar yet they didn't make it clear that you could do ala carte at the bar, so we thought the tasting menu was the only option. One of the courses was duck, and it was so tough and hard to eat. Another course was a ground lamb lettuce wrap dish, it was pretty bland and flavorless. Also, I told them that I do not eat pork, and I'm pretty sure they served me an appetizer that contained pork. It was a little toast with scallop butter, and came to find out later that there was lard in the scallop butter. I want to love this place, but I just didn't!
Be the first to ReplyAmazing food experience.
If you are a foodie person and don't care about prices then go to this place. It's amazing.
Be the first to ReplyWow! The Michelin star restaurant tucked away in Adams
Wow! The Michelin star restaurant tucked away in Adams Morgan absolutely lives up to the hype!My friends and I came here for our monthly fancy dinner, and we were NOT disappointed. Our server Amina was extremely friendly and had great recommendations. The entire staff was great and had wonderful camaraderie too, which is always nice to see. You'd expect Michelin star food to be outrageous, and many of these dishes certainly were. The chicken liver tart blew me away. Growing up in a big Jewish family, I was never far from a bowl of gloopy chopped liver. Tail Up Goat elevates it to an outrageous extreme. I would have paid $99 for that alone--INSTANTLY added to my favorite dishes in DC list. Everything that followed rocked at different levels. The scallops, porgy, and roast pork dishes probably stood out the most. A couple dishes like the fried mushroom and the carrot raviolo didn't quite reach those heights, but they were tasty nonetheless.We ended with some stellar desserts. The butterscotch budino was perfection. I would have eaten it with a shovel. The ambiance is quite nice here and more down to earth than many comparable restaurants, which is nice! The owners do an incredible job of setting up a restaurant where everyone feels at home. Wow. FIVE STARS!
Be the first to ReplyDelicious, but you'll leave still hungry.
Overheard other tables saying the same. At $180 a person (with drinks) this is kind of unacceptable. A bit too cafeteria-y feeling for the price - it's noisy, and you're sitting on hard chairs.Service is fine, but nothing more than you'd expect for the type of restaurant.I eat out a lot around DC, but definitely won't be back unless they make changes.
Be the first to ReplyFirst Michelin star restaurant for me and IT.
DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT. Their 7th bday anniversary menu was chefs kiss. Immediately when I walked in, I felt comforted by the warm ambiance. I also appreciate a dimly lit restaurant with candles on the table because it automatically feels more intimate. I've walked by this place many times but it always flew under the radar - there's no super discerning sign outside and it seemed almost like a secret space.Everyone was bustling around but you never felt overwhelmed. Our server was wonderful and gave great wine and cocktail recommendations. My favorite dishes was the rabbit sausage (served with the snacks): smoky, fatty, perfect bite, and the lamb ribs. I could've eaten like twelve of this ribs. My takeaway: definitely worth the money (it's more on the cheaper side for a lot of Michelin restaurants though!).
Be the first to ReplyTail Up Goat has been on my must try restaurant for a while
Tail Up Goat has been on my must try restaurant for a while But I must say the overall food experience was underwhelming given that we had to fork out 300 dollars for 2 ( 98 per person, 2 drinks and 22 percent gratuity)I went there with my wife for our anniversary. Service overall was fantastic. Thanks to the staff, they provided a handwritten card with a beautiful note. The servers were attentive and super nice as well.The food on the other hand, not that great! The snacks were really disappointing. The beets salad was average. The seared scallops were good. The duck was rubbery and did not really taste that great. The black bass and the pork loin was good, hence the 2 star rating, otherwise I would have given a star. Desserts were pretty good! All in all, I personally do not get the hype! The food was bang on average. Overall was very disappointing! Great ambiance and service though!HONESTLY NOT WORTH THE HYPE aside from the good service
Be the first to ReplyI've been to many Michelin Star restaurants.
I honestly don't see what puts this place on the list. Yes most of the food was good, but I really don't think it's star-worthy. Best thing on the menu when I went was the Raviolo with truffle. Very good. But everything else was kind of....meh. I think a restaurant like the Capital Grille has better food and doesn't even have a star. Also, 22% gratuity automatically added to the outrageous bill is kind of insane. The bill for 3 people ended up being $532 (plus 3 glasses of wine). I would not go there again as there are much better places in DC for food at half the price and twice the class.

Great cuisine! Each course is very creative and tasty! The service was fantastic! Wish I lived closer, but will return on next visit.

Had the pleasure of going here after classes since me and a buddy said "Michelin star? Michelin star.". This place is great! We got the duck, tuna, pรขtรฉ, and a honey something dessert I can't recall the name of. The drink is a rosemary something that tasted AMAZING. I seriously could've drank it all night.The food was great, our waitress was amazing in explaining everything. Each dish comes on their own with two clean plates and clean silverware. Then you ball out, rinse, and repeat. Highly recommend going here. There's parking on the main AdMo strip that's lowkey hidden but a short walk away.
