Chef Stephanie Izard is well known for her Chicago restaurant Girl and the Goat and her Top Chef win. Over the years she has expanded her footprint with cookbooks and additional restaurants in Chicago and LA. Very recently she has now also moved into the Bay Area food scene with her first restaurant Valley Goat https://www.valleygoatsv.com/?utm_source=google-gbp&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gbp Located in the upscale boutique hotel Tree House in Sunnyvale, it doesn’t really resemble “classical” hotel restaurants too much but has a vibrant, yet laid back ambiance. She is well known for her approach on bolder flavors and twists incorporated into more classical dishes which is also showcased at Valley Goat. We really enjoyed our first dinner here with well prepared dishes, interesting cocktail program and good service.
