Customer Reviews
It's a 1-star Michelin restaurant, so expect it to be pricey and not large servings. However, the 6-course meal was very good and did fill us up. The scallops and potato courses were a bit too salty for our liking, but this is more for feedback and not a negative review, so I still give the restaurant a 5-star. The restaurant is cozy and the staff was very professional.
Such a superb dining experience. I was solo so sat at bar and my waiter went above and beyond with exceptional wine and food knowledge and service. The food was subtle, creative and beautifully balanced. Everything just worked. I find US restaurants rarely have ambiance but Tail Up had great lighting even if dining room was fine but unremarkable. It was a brilliant experience of a brilliant kitchen, sommelier and serving team. Thanks for a DC highlight
A dinner absolutely worthy of a Michelin Star. Food was unique, creatively prepared and delicious. The wait staff (primarily Evan) were attentive and friendly. Co-owner Jill visited tables. A lively vibe with a mixed crowd. Extensive wine list in addition to curated pairings. The Lion’s Mane Mushroom was amazing, presented in a thick cut, steak-like format and tasted much the same. I could be a vegetarian after eating it! For those who previously offered criticism of: Price: Check out similarly starred restaurants and you’ll appreciate their price point. Noise: Yes it’s lively but we had absolutely no issues carrying on a conversation and discussing the creative preparations Included Gratuity: Really folks?? Where have you been for the past few years? Who doesn’t give a 20% gratuity for good service and more for great service? Great job Team Tail Up Goat!! We will highly recommend to others for a fun and delicious foodie experience in DC.
I first visited Tail Up Goat in 2019. It was astounding. Tried to visit last year but without a reservation, and ended up at their excellent sister restaurant. This year, we made reservations. Great meal. The format has changed in the years since my first visit. Now, if you dine in the dining room, you must order the complete pre fixe menu… and some of the food is raw. I didn’t love that. But overall a delicious meal, nicely paced.
