    Food was very good. Had some cheese and meats to start and the board was very well presented. Our server, Staci and her support staff were spot on throughout dinner. I would also recommend leaving room for dessert. Looks of great choices to share.

    Last evening was my first visit to Girl & the Goat. I could not have asked for a better first impression/tasting of any restaurant in Los Angeles. From the wait-staff to the chef of the evening, we were treated as VIPs. The drinks were described to a T, and were served immediately. Note: the Goat Fashioned was probably the best, smoothest, New Fashioned I’ve ever had. We ordered seven items from the menu, which were brought to us in the order of our servers discretion - each one was outstanding. My guests and I took a vote of our top two favorites, and it was a complete mix – everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.

    We’re locals who have been looking forward to experiencing Jolie based on recommendations from longtime local friends. We were expecting near perfection based on what we’ve been told, and that is what we got- PERFECTION. Food selection and preparation was stellar. As was the service. Our server was Alex. Ask for him. He knows the menu and will make recommendations. Manager Amber was attentive and professional.
