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!!

Food as usual was outstanding for us - pasta dish (my husband had), shared varicote verde, arancini balls appetizer for me, tiramisu, and ice cream with lots of berries. We were seated quickly, even though we arrived early for our reservation, gave our order, received dinner, dessert, and check out all within 1 1/4 hours. However, the restaurant was extremely crowded (too much so really), and cost us $110 including tip, not alcoholic drinks. It was more pleasant last summer when we could sit outside for dinner. That is something for us to remember.
