Review:
The Fainting Goat's name is a sly reference to co-owner Greg Algie's childhood nickname, a reference to his lack of confidence in his young dating life. Today, Algie and co-owner Henry Bruce have transformed the hip U Street restaurant into one of the city's top first date spots, offering upscale American and gastropub fare crafted from fresh ingredients sourced from local farms such as Path Valley Farms and Wagon Wheel Ranch. Clever, approachable dishes include duck wings, crispy chicken sandwiches, chilled sesame noodles, and goat and avocado tostadas. A wide variety of draft and bottled beers are available for pairing, along with craft and bottomless brunch cocktails.
