Finally came here! Very interesting flavors in each dishes! We tried 4 main and side dishes and it did not disappoint! Even on a Monday night, it was jam packed! We didn’t have reservations at 6 so we have to sit outside and thank God it was a beautiful evening! This definitely deserves to be Michelin bid Gourmand… and for those who are on a diet- this place is for you… not much carb to be found anywhere.. the Nan is so thin, it is hard to get fat- maybe from the yummy dipping… love the pork belly: packed with so much flavor.. the pork shank is our favorite! The goat is a must! Delicious curry… I wish they have a good bowl if rice to go with it!!! Came here to celebrate my wife’s birthday and we are glad it live up to the hype… only wish the dishes are larger portions..

Everything was so incredible! Freddy was our server and absolutely crushed it. He was so skilled and competent with not only the key but the dynamic of the table. It’s not everyday that you have an equally memorable service experience that lived up to the what the food experience delivered. Thank you guys for accommodating our large group so last minute and showing us true hospitality.

Had been wanting to try Girl & the Goat LA for a while and finally made it in for a double birthday dinner. The space is beautiful and the atmosphere is lively, so expectations were high. Unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t quite match the hype for me.Service was friendly but a bit disconnected. Our reservation noted two birthdays, yet it was never acknowledged until I mentioned it at the very end, which felt like a missed opportunity. At that point we were told they could add a candle if we ordered dessert, and were also encouraged to buy gift cards—an upsell that came across as more transactional than celebratory.On the drinks side, the cocktail list felt short and a little too “safe.” Nothing really stood out as inventive or customizable, so I ended up skipping cocktails altogether. The food, however, was more of a mix: the naan and the goat liver mousse were excellent—rich, flavorful, and the highlights of the night. The goat meat platter was tasty, but it was supposed to come with unlimited salad and accompaniments, and no one checked back to see if we needed refills. Our bread/naan also arrived after we had already finished most of the meat, which threw off the pacing.The chicken tikka was delicious and well executed. The whole dorade was cooked perfectly, but the heavy salad and sauce piled on top made the dish feel muddled and took away from the clean flavor of the fish. Prices are on the higher side, so those small service and concept issues stand out a bit more.Overall, I can see why many people enjoy Girl & the Goat—the room is gorgeous and there are definitely some standout dishes—but for me it didn’t quite become the special, memorable experience I was hoping for. I’d come back for drinks and a few favorites like the naan and liver mousse, but I’m not in a rush to repeat the full dinner. I also didn’t see anything point of 4% operation support added that was very confusing to me when I can put in on the tip or they can add tot heir sish cost.

I liked the industrial vibe with its high ceilings and softly muted lighting. My daughter and I were seated in a room somewhat separated from the main area, felt more intimate and cozy. Allison’s service was top notch, when I asked her about the dishes she spoke about the menu and discussed the ingredients as if she was either an owner or played a role in designing the flavors. I truly appreciate when staff is knowledgeable. The spa day infused with a hint of pandan from the leaf was light, but the cucumber definitely dominated the drink. My favorite fusion of flavors was the spicy handroll dip. I also enjoyed the chickpea fritters, although they were slightly over-salted. For my entree, I had the salmon, seared skin over a juicy filet. The flavors were somewhat mild but still enjoyable. My daughter had the goat belly which she also enjoyed. For dessert we shared the mango sticky rice, a unique combination of flavors that I deconstructed while eating. The highlight of the dish for me was the sticky rice, while the mango tamarind was a good compliment on the side rather than mixed together. The attentive service and flavorful dishes left a lasting impression.

This restaurant is outstanding. The food was so fresh and delicious and artisanal and seasonal. We were a bit early for our resi and Jacob at the door was professional and organized and got us a table on a very busy night. He even checked in with us to see how we liked the table afterwards, a really nice gesture. Absolutely outstanding service and professionalism from Jacob. Our waitress, Ruthy, was top tier. She is so talented. She was attentive, super kind, and very willing to accommodate allergies and help us navigate the menu. The Brussels were delicious. The braised beef with rice noodles was one of the best I’ve had. The wine menu was unique and diverse. Again, Ruthy’s service was probably the best service I’ve had in the last 12 months. She needs a raise! I will absolutely be back to this fabulous restaurant. Impressed!
Oh, also, I loved the “allergy menus”! I have no clue why every restaurant in LA or Ny Or anywhere doesn’t do that!

Unique and delicious menu you definitely should try!
This place was a great experience and food was refreshing to taste combinations you normal don’t. I went for the dineLA menu with the wine pairing but i definitely will return for the normal menu just to try more food from this kitchen.
Personally I was a big fan of the chickpea, coconut curry, and the dessert.
Definitely worth it!

Stumbled on Girl & the Goat while searching for a new spot to have dinner with my friends. Their online reviews were good and so we decided to try this place. Food was delicious, ambience was great and service was awesome. I had to re-order my grilled oysters cos it was so good

We had such a great dining experience. The ambience was nice, the service was great and the food delicious! There was not one dish that we didn’t enjoy. We started off with grilled oysters and kimchi bread as appetizers but they went over a complementary naan for the long wait. All three were soooo good. For the main entree we got the beef noodles, crunchy chili lime chicken and the pork shank. They were all shareable plates and all sooo delicious. We were so stuffed by the time the pork shank came out but we still tried it and it didn’t disappoint. All the wait staff was beyond helpful and friendly.

Good food and good company! The best way to end the weekend. We got their large plate again. They only have one on Sundays and it was the perfect size for the 4 of us. The grape salad side was amazing! So good! Everything was good! We enjoyed all the additional dishes we got and the dessert too. Service is always excellent and also love the ambiance, love the big open space, greenery and the seating arrangements. Love Girl and the Goat! They are part of the Inkind app too! So a good deal!
