Girl & the Goat Los Angeles

Great food and friendly service

Girl & the Goat is not only a cute spot but also serves incredibly delicious and creative dishes. The naan with dips is a fantastic starter, and if you’re an oyster fan, don’t miss the grilled oysters — the smoky flavor is truly unique. The only dish that fell a bit short for me was the grilled corn, which is served on the cob and can be a bit tricky to eat; I would have preferred it sliced before being brought to the table. Overall, though, it’s a wonderful dining experience with great service!

Has become a go to for me when in LA as it never dissapoints. I have never had a bad meal here, service and atmosphere are fantastic

Culinary journey!!!

Pink and green sweater was a Diva! POP OFF!

Brunch food was cold and the missed a few orders that needed to be added midway. Brussels sprouts were too oily for my liking and PB&J pancake too decadent. Not super healthy food.

Service was fine-nothing above and beyond as expected from other Stephanie Izard locations.

What can I say? I had really high hopes for Girl and the Goat being Stephanie‘s restaurant the first female top chef winner... I have to say I was extremely disappointed and let down. The service was so lackluster. I'll probably be bold enough to say the worst service I've had yet. I'm in the restaurant industry and I know what I'm looking for and if I were working at this establishment, I would want to know what happened so I could fix this problem. After being sat the manager gave a little introduction about the menu and invited us in. She said someone would be with us shortly, and no one arrived for another 15 or so minutes. At which point one of the food runners saw me looking around trying to flag someone down. He then told the manager to come and help us. She came over and said “oh did you have a chance to get some food in yet??” I said no actually no one‘s been over to see us, she said oh let me go grab my notebook and pen.... Really... I then said can we please order drinks and proceeded to order. She was very nice really knowledgeable and had great recommendations. But the next time we saw somebody wasn't until another 15 minutes when the same manager lady brought our drinks back now it's been 30 minutes and our table has never been touched by our actual server. I'm appalled and disappointed as a server myself. The server never introduced herself with her name, and the manager didn't make things right when we said we didn't like a dish. One of the drinks was just too tart. We didn't really like an either veggie dishes and nobody said anything, or apologized. They just acted like nothing was wrong. Needless to say, I doubt I will ever go back to this establishment. But I do have to say to go curry was amazingly delicious and we enjoyed the halibut dish.

Decided to eat at the bar. Bartender had great suggestions and she was super friendly! I will definitely be back!

The food was incredible! The servers were great and very attentive. Very nice inside as well. Clean! Will visit again.

Was super. Lamb shank was amazing! Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a foodie experience.

Every dish was incredible. We tried 12 different items and they were all 10/10. Service was great and very informative about allergies.

Incredible flavors, creative dishes, and a fun, vibrant atmosphere. Every bite was memorable. A must-visit in LA!

Disappointed by the Hype — Underwhelming Experience We were excited to try Girl & the Goat after hearing great things, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The service was inconsistent and chaotic — plates were taken away by one person, but then no one followed up. We literally had to flag someone down to get attention again. The food itself was decent, though not exceptional. However, the dessert was a letdown — the miso pineapple cake was so sweet it actually gave us a headache. Balance matters, especially at this level. One of the biggest disappointments was the tea situation. My wife and I ordered two teas and were brought a single pot to share. When we asked for separate ones, we were told they “didn't have enough tea pots.” Seriously? You're charging $12 for two teas — it's not unreasonable to expect individual service, especially when we each prefer our own steep strength. The excuse felt careless. To top it off, there's an added surcharge on the bill. I understand operating costs are high, but just raise your prices if needed. Don't pass the buck to guests in such an obvious and awkward way — it comes across as nickel-and-diming. The space is nicely designed and feels fresh, but the experience lacked soul. No one seemed to be managing the floor or truly caring about guest satisfaction. It wasn't a disaster, but it definitely wasn't worth the hype or price. Sadly, we won't be returning.

Everything conspired to make a lovely evening for my friend and me. It was a vastly different experience from the lackluster service and experience the last time i was here (food late, slow, inattentive service.) I had requested a special table and Jacob made sure to honor it. It was nice and quiet and we even got a perfect parking place. It was my friend's first time at Girl and the Goat and she was so impressed . (and is not somebody easily impressed) . Our server, Richard, was attentive (as were the rest of the waitstaff), and the food is always delicious and inventive. Thank you to all for making a lovely, relaxing evening.
