Girl & the Goat Los Angeles

AMAZING, MIND BLOWING! Totally recommend this place for brunch! Although passing through downtown LA was not fun to get here, but the food was totally worth it. We visited here for a Sunday brunch and we were impressed by how unique and tasty each dish was. The portions were relatively small and easy to finish. I tried the following: - Potato Crepe: 5/5, light, fresh, flavorful - Confit goat belly: 5/5, mind blowing, full of different flavors blending beautifully together, very well balanced - PB&J pancakes: 4/5, too sweet and heavy for my taste, but interesting flavors - Sunrise spritz: 5/5, refreshening, unique, and flavorful

Oh my god. I LOVE this restaurant! I came for brunch and honestly wanted to stay all day. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was fantastic, and they were incredibly accommodating with my food allergies. I ordered the confit goat belly and WOW. It literally melted in my mouth. No notes. One of those dishes where you immediately start planning when you’re coming back for it again. My friend got the short rib chilaquiles and was equally obsessed. Between the food, atmosphere, and service, this is absolutely a place I’ll keep coming back to!

The food and the service was spectacular. Had a 8:30pm reservation and got there about 7:35. While waiting at the bar for Lee to get are table ready, Johnny the bartender mixed us two of his best Spa Day a vodka cocktail. While picking Johnny knowledge of the menu for recommendation along with his warm personality we never left the bar. Every dish was layered with flavors that took you on a culinary journey around the world. After eating at the Cut Beverly Hills steakhouse(Michelin Star)the night before Iron Chef Stephanie and her Girl & the Goat team despite a different atmosphere made us feel like we ate at Michelin Restaurants two nights in a row!!

For years this was on my to do list. We had a chance to finally make it happen. Real easy to set up reservations which are highly recommended. Place feels very trendy but not in any negative way. There is a style and class to this restaurant makes you feel that a celeb can walk in at any moment to talk over the project. The French onion omelette is a high recommend especially if avoiding carbs. The veggie omelette was a master craft piece. Food was so good we started adding items and they were all well worth the calorie guilt. Servers were top notch. Can’t recommend G&TG enough.

A friend gave us a gift card for this place so we finally gave it a go and wow, so glad we did! Had no idea where it was and found it’s in a super cool, hip and clean area downtown, with plenty street parking and parking lots nearby. The restaurant is super cool looking, hip, open industrial cafe vibes with a courtyard too. We had a reservation for 6.15, got there at 6.10 and after waiting for like 10 minutes at the desk with a bunch of other folks, a girl finally wandered up and checked us in. Then we had to wait probably another 10 minutes for a table. Really the check in was the worst part, and they really could use a professional Host or 2. Once seated the service was great, people constantly refilling water, cleaning table, and the girl serving us was sweet and helpful. So food wise, the craziest part if the goat restaurant was goatless, and had none of their famed goat dishes for some reason. Realistically if that’s your thing, maybe just keep some frozen goat curry in the freezer just in case this happens, cos you know, the girl and the “goat” :). Anyways, we order the naan, oysters, tuna poke quinoa salad, chick Pea fritters and the pork shank. Other than the oysters, everything was an amazing blend of textures and flavors and highly recommend them. Oysters were fine but just a little plain compared to the rest and may not with either some more flavor with something crispy on top, candied bacon?, or just serve them raw with something else for contrast. And then for desert we had the sticky rice with mango which is super tasty but maybe a little over busy. Cocktails are great! Highly recommend for a nice fresh Mediterranean twist. Check it out!
