    The patio near the fountain is a great place to dine. On Friday’s there is a wonderful Spanish guitarist that turns a very nice experience into a wonderful one. Roberto our waiter is professional and has been there since it originally opened. He suggested a great bottle of wine to go with the melt in your mouth honey basted braised short rib that is served on lentils. Mushroom appetizer, artichoke appetizer and croquettes were all very good. Most unique restaurant in Montrose.

    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.
