We are LONG time fans of the Little Goat Diner when it was on Randolph. I love the new space but disappointed with the food. Some of the staples are gone (Los Drowned pot roast au jus ) and other things aren’t as high quality. We had the Kale salad (and thankfully it was mostly unchanged) but the chicken added was minimal. We then ordered the sloppy chicken Sammie and it was super salty - and had the same Cole slaw as the salad. We want the old food back. Waitress was lovely!!
