Tail Up Goat

Tail Up Goat comes to us from owners Jon Sybert, Jill Tyler, and Bill Jensen.  The restaurant's name is a nod to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Jill's childhood home and is how one can tell the difference on an island overrun with both: "Tail up goat. Tail down sheep."   The food is soulful and sophisticated with a special emphasis on pasta and bread along with idiosyncratic, food-friendly tipples and soft drinks. Closest Metro is Adams Morgan.
