    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!!

    I cannot count the number of visits we've had to The Girl and the Goat, but it continues to be a favorite for both personal and professional dining. I brought three colleagues, who have never been, to the restaurant for dinner. One diner is vegetarian, but there are menu offerings and options available to provide them with enough to eat. All three were quite impressed with the food. My only complaint would be our table was right next to the kitchen, which can be loud. However, we made due, and had an enjoyable meal. Service is always very good, and the cocktails are fun. If you're interested in dining, make sure you book way ahead, as there is almost no chance to get a table day of.
