Tail Up Goat was a Mediterranean restaurant in Adams Morgan, Washington, D.C.[1][2][3] The restaurant opened in 2016[4] and received a Michelin star. The restaurant closed on December 20, 2025, which owners Jon Sybert and Jill Tyler attributed to a lack of financial sustainability for the restaurant's business model. They planned to open a new restaurant, Rye Bunny, with lower operating costs in the same location in 2026.[5]

Reception

The restaurant has received a Michelin star.[6] Frommer's rates the business 3 out of 3 stars.[7] In 2016, Ann Limpert of Washingtonian magazine rated Tail Up Goat 3 out of 4 stars.[8]
