    Our server, Fidel was awesome and attentive. He helped up decide our drinks and meal. The calamari was delectable. The quesabirria was savory but not salty and the sauce had just the right amount of heat like a fancy French dip but with much more flavor. The carne asada with vegetables was delicious with lots of flavors as well. The Don Fulano imperial extra añejo was my favorite. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday!

    The food was good and price was good. I guess the reason I put 4 instead of 5 is because they did not acknowledge my sister's birthday even though when I made reservation I had stated it was for an occasion and it was for a birthday. When I let the waiter know my disappointment in no acknowledgement, she just smiled and didn't really care so now it was twice that it was not acknowledged. Sad but whatever moving o to other restaurants that make guests feel good.

    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.
