    9 of us attended Breakfast with Santa at Mrs. Knott’s. It was our first time experiencing this festive tradition here and it did not disappoint. The buffet was plentiful and varied with options for the young and not-so-young. Our group was particularly fond of the fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, yogurt and fruit, and the danish. The chicken tamales also received high praise. Santa was on site, took time to chat with the kids, and gave each one of them an adorable stuffie. Professional pics were taken with an option to purchase. The entire wait staff team assigned to our table was professional and prompt; refilling drinks, clearing plates, and replenishing napkins, etc. our entire party agreed that it was a morning well spent-together and making wonderful memories

    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.
