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.

The food was not as good as what I expected. Among the five dishes I have ordered, I would say four of them are over-seasoned. Also, I can see they are trying to put different elements to the dish to make it tastes more complex or look pretties. However, the ingredients just don't go well overall.

The food was really amazing, hybrid of Asian and New American cuisine which I really enjoyed. The service was good except that you might have to wait for a while between dishes. The neighborhood is chill and safe. Street parking is a bit challenge to find even in a workday night, but they provide valet as another parking option.

This was my favorite restaurant meal in the past year. Everything was fabulous: food, service, ambience. We sat outside on the patio that runs the length of the restaurant, and on a nice summer night, under the little white lights, there isn't a better place to be. (Although the restaurant interior is also beautiful.) Each dish was bursting with unusual and creative flavor combinations that all worked so well together. The cocktails are also worth a special mention; as unusual in their flavor pairings as the food dishes. Can't say enough good about this place, and can't wait to return.

Came here to celebrate a birthday and enjoyed every single moment. The staff was wonderful and always visible. The food was AMAZING. We had 4 courses and by the end we were stuffed. It was worth every penny we spent and will definitely be back.

Girl and the Goat is incredible. Fantastic service and ambiance. We went in late, since that was the only time they could accommodate us in the outdoor seating area because of our 2 pups. Nevertheless, the place was packed and lively. We focused entirely on vegetarian dishes, and had the following: Naan n Dips - my husband was skeptical of this one, since “how can you make good naan without a tandoor” but ate his words — and the dish — with great relish. Sourdough - the harissa butter was brain-meltingly good. The bread was excellent, and the giardiniera was yumm too. Order this dish for the butter - you won’t regret the calories! Grilled corn - we had a collective religious experience eating this. The unexpected flavor combinations were inspired, certainly, but what kind of crazy mind could come up with it? This dish worked it, with the coconut and caramel playing happy tricks on your mind. Chickpea fritters - for a desi gal who’s used to really good chaat in the Bay Area, the roasted chickpeas themselves were not out of this world, but the tofu-type preparation of the chickpeas was the bomb. Dessert: Sweet chili crunch sundae - if you come here and for some inexplicable reason have to pick only one dish to eat, try this. For one, it’s a dessert; bonus, it’s GREAT. I’m running out of adjectives to describe the food here, but this dessert was superlative. Again, Girl and the Goat has played with unique flavor combinations and come out on top. Mango sticky rice - this dessert is well-deserving of its rave reviews. Drinks were: Surprise spritz - this non alcoholic drink was a revelation. Definitely try this one if you’re not drinking alcohol for whatever reason. The combination of lychee and hibiscus, with the zing of galangal was *chef’s kiss*. Goat fashioned- apparently the weakest link at this restaurant. Take it or leave it. Make Girl and the Goat a priority to dine at when visiting LA.

We were there for brunch for the first time and loved it. I prefer the dinner menu but brunch was still solid. The Shrimp fried rice omelette was amazing. So was the crumpets ana smoked salmon spread. The presentation was 5/5

This was the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The staff made recommendations, which we decided to trust and I’m so glad I did. I don’t even like tomatoes and their tomato and stone fruit salad was AMAZING. Everything we tried was spectacular and the staff were great.

Food did not blow my mind. The best dish we had was the Stone tomato and fruit salad. Beautifully mixed that packed a ton of flavor with extra crunch from the crispy chili oil. Pork shank lacked flavor, chicken thigh was OVERLY salted. For the prices, I would not recommend.

The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. We had the beet salad, shrimp salad, Bronzino, roasted corns and beans. Every single one of them tasted oh so yummy!!!! The only problem we had was we got full and had no room to order everything else on the menu! Easy and convenient Valet Parking. Perfect for a date night or GNO ❤️ 100% will go back.

Nice open, airy patio spaces, excellent food and service. We especially loved the goat curry which had tostadas on the bottom and had a texture almost like chilaquilas but with curry and tender goat meat. Really unique and good!

The food is very delicious as are the cocktails. The service is excellent. The only thing I would like for them to do is use less salt in their dishes. I found several of the dishes a bit too salty.
