Chef Stephanie Izard and her team are thrilled to join LA’s vibrant restaurant community and continue our tradition of serving tasty, bold-flavored foods in a fun and lively family-style setting. A few favorites, like goat empanadas and sautéed green beans, will be back on the menu. Stephanie and her team have also crafted new dishes inspired by California produce and local flavors, like carrot-tahini dip with tahini tofu, and curried goat with radishes, pickled vegetables, and masa chips. To enhance the experience we offer a selection of wines from around the world with a focus on small producers, a rotating list of craft beers, and a list of fun cocktails created by our bartenders.

Located in the Arts District at 555 Mateo, Girl & the Goat offers dinner service Monday through Sunday, plus brunch Sunday. Girl & the Goat accepts reservations but always welcomes walk-ins, nomads and adventurers!

    I was truly disappointed by my experience here. I had heard such phenomenal things about the restaurant but unfortunately, it was a completely underwhelming experience. We were seated well after our reservation, we had to ask multiple times for our waitress, the food was slow to come out and we found a hair in one of our dishes. I also didn’t find the food to be particularly good. The bathrooms were also not clean. I do not think I would ever come back based on this experience which is unfortunate.

    The food there is always fantastic. Such a great menu. Brunch and dinner. However, the service is just ok and that takes away from the whole experience. I’d start by replacing those two girls on the front and hire someone enthusiastic with charm and more interest in your restaurant. Don’t just rely in your kitchen - you can be so much better!

    Host was friendly and took us to our table upon check in. Waitress was prompt upon taking drink and food orders but then disappeared through the dinning experience. Had to ask busboys for assistance. Food was not anything to write home about. Dishes were one note and didn’t taste any different from one dish to another, Tried a good amount of 6 dishes and the fried rice and hash was the better of the six dishes. One dish didn’t arrive and when asked, it took a long time to make which perhaps they forgot about the order. All around nice ambiance but we probably won’t be back.

    Very flavorful food but the servings are too small for the price. We ordered the chili-lime crunch chicken thigh for $25 and it literally was one chicken thigh. For $28, the pan roasted red fish was about 3 oz. For dessert, we had miso butterscotch budino and mango sticky rice. Both were very good. I don’t think I’ll be back.

    Second time at the restaurant. The food was good however, asking us to order everything at once and then not giving us guidance on the fact that we ordered way too much. An hour and 45 minutes later and our entrées still not there. We ended up taking three entrées home.

    After a small wait our party was ushered to an interior table in a quieter portion of the restaurant, where we were quickly approached by our waitress who, along with other wait staff attended to our order. The food was delivered a dish at a time, in a timely order. Delicious food!! We followed this with three dessert orders that we noticed, given they were shared, were well suited to each other, and followed each other very well. Wonderful evening. Hats off to all!

    Overall we are happy. I personally feel the flavors are too overpowering in most dishes we ordered. It’s like a circus in my mouth. In my opinion a few composed flavors is enough for a dish. This is just my opinion and opinion of my guests others might feel different.

    Loved the goat fashioned, crispy garlic atop naan with smooth + tasty hummus duos. The corn was an incredible flavor bomb and pleasant surprised that it was on the cob and not esquite-style. The oysters had many levels of umami with the sausage butter; we were shocked that the portion only had two oysters for the price. Same for the grilled skirt steak. Very tasty and made seven slices of meat? Overall, the chefs were amazing to accommodate my allergies to nightshades-even separating dishes. We tipped well for the great service, ambience, etc. I'd go again for drinks and appetizers only.

    We dined here for my birthday dinner after several recommendations from friends and family. We were told that everything on the menu was amazing. As promised, everything that we ordered was incredible! From the drinks to the appetizers and main courses, just perfection. The only downside was having to wait about 10 minutes for our table to be ready, despite having a reservation but it was well worth the wait. We can't wait to come back!

    The food was excellent. Unfortunately service was painfully slow to start. It took forever to get our food and drink orders. And while the menu asks to limit time at the table to two hours, we were there for two and a half hours due to the slow service.

    Food is great because the different flavors they combine, it’s just not enough meat in it. The belly barely had 2 pieces in it. Small portions and the service was soooo slow. We waited about 20 mins for each dish to come out and we had about 7 dishes. Drink took a long time to come out too. The sundae dessert sucked. It was a hard cookie with ice cream. The ambience is really cute. I liked the Chicago location a lot more! Service was excellent out there.

    We had a 5 oclock reservation and ordered quickly. We received one dish at a time starting at about 6:15 and at 6:45 most of the main dishes. We never received 2 of our dishes and had to leave. Food was great when it finally got to us.
