Tail Up Goat

Located in the historic Adam’s Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC, Tail Up Goat burst onto the dining scene in 2016, picking up a Michelin star and Eater’s Best New Restaurant in DC. It has continued its ascension, adding awards for the wine program run by Bill Jensen, a James Beard Mid-Atlantic Finalist nom for Chef Jon Sybert, and accolades for casual yet refined service steered by Jill Tyler. The restaurant is a consistent favorite in the nation’s capital featuring Mediterranean flavors, an innovative bread program, and impeccably sourced proteins and vegetables.

Jon Sybert, Jill Tyler, and Bill Jensen

After a decade of working side-by-side at some of the city's finest restaurants, owners Jon Sybert, Jill Tyler, and Bill Jensen opened their doors in February 2016. As longtime Adams Morgan residents, they hoped to establish the kind of enduring local institution they would want to frequent themselves. The restaurant's name is a nod to a local saying (“tail up goat, tail down sheep”) on the U.S. Virgin Islands, Jill's childhood home. She and Jon tied the knot on her favorite beach, and Bill occasionally joins them on vacation along with his wife.
