I have been fortunate to be a frequent visitor at Running Goose for over 4 years, it is a true gem amidst the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. This has to be hands down one of the of the BEST restaurants in Hollywood - farm to table fresh ingredients, incredible flavors, and the BEST customer service. Most restaurants in the area charge 3 times the price for one ounce of the flavor and even less charm. The owner makes you feel like family, dishing out the best recommendations and addressing any questions you may have. Fantastic beer and wine selection. I have brought friends and family to this establishment since my first visit, and I hope I get the opportunity for many more years to come. And whatever you do - I beg you to try the House Fried Carrots, it’s one of the best dishes I’ve had, you will not be disappointed!

The food here is exceptional. I love coming here for lunch. Get the carrot tostada. It’s so good!

My $45 ribeye steak with fries and eggs was exceptional. I recommend ordering medium as opposed to medium-rare. The outdoor patio has a nice vibe to it with pleasant old school French music playing in the background.

Such a delightful place! Pleasant shaded patio, creative and perfect food! The salted cod churros were the most novel. Also tasty and filling.

Hidden gem with chill patio vibes. The special al pastor sandwich was flavorful. Ideal spot for a laid-back outdoor bite.

This place is amazing! It sits in the middle of a restaurant row near the Hollywood Pantages. It is easy to drive or walk past it because of its unassuming facade. But please don't! This is a wonderful little gem! From the service to the ambiance, the affordability, and the delectable food they serve, I am surprised it isn't more popular than it is. There were quite a few menu offerings that were intriguing, and had we been hungrier, we would have ordered more. What we did order and enjoyed did not disappoint. Come with people you dont mind sharing food with. The food will definitely get everyone in your party talking and bonding over the flavors and presentation. The service staff frequently check on their guests and offer recommendations to help give you a one of a kind experience. I recommend dining al fresco in their quaint and cozy patio. We will definitely return with friends and family. An experience like the Running Goose is worth sharing!

🚨 Alert, there is a cook in the kitchen! A real gem. The place is not attractive outside, may seem even close. But the patio is lovely, the staff super friendly (and very professional), and the food is just exceptional for the price. We tried 7 different items, all were excellent. Original recipes and great execution. Large choice of draft beers too. Terrific surprise, and we're usually demanding.

I had a great experience at this restaurant in Los Angeles. The food was delicious, fresh, and well prepared, and the service was truly outstanding. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and professional, which made the whole visit very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to visiting again.

First of all, the service was nice. The waiter was always kind but not insistent. The Summer Tomato salad was delicious, with perfectly balanced tastes. And the Chicken sandwich was yummy and really huge. Definitely a place to be considered.

I was going to a show a few blocks down and picked this place solely on the menu having horchata creme brulee. As a "foodie", I had to do date night there to try it. He ordered the lamb- couscous was a bit dry but the lamb had enough sauce that it helped a bit. We ordered the cod churros, they were very crispy on the outside and soft/flaky on the inside. Nice texture and flavor. Not too fishy and not too dry or hard. We also got the calamari, which came with a pepper sauce. It had a fresh flavor with a burst of pepper but not spicy at all, which we loved. Calamari itself was just okay. Light and airy batter. I ordered the salmon, which they said would be medium, which is great. It was a bit more on the well done side with a sliver of pink on the inside. Crispy outside skin which I enjoyed. The risotto it came was was pretty good and the mushrooms were the best thing. Almost like they were pickled, but delicious. We got the horchata creme brulee which came out warm, a bit runny but so good. My only dislike was the blueberries - it would've been perfect without them. Just my opinion. We also got the bread pudding. Came out hot and everything was perfectly sweet and not overdone. Needles to say, we left nothing in the plate. Patio is cute but some tables were too close together. We got lucky that we asked to just scoot down a bit so we wouldn't feel like we were imposing on the other diners there. They said they have valet parking for $20 but the parking spaces are tiny and there are other lots and street parking in the area, you might just have to drive around to find something but being Hollywood, that's a given.

Running Goose offers a pleasant dining experience with both indoor and outdoor patio seating. However, finding parking can be a bit of a challenge due to metered street parking. I visited for lunch and tried a variety of dishes. The corn tostada was a standout, with its crunchy texture and well-balanced sweet and tangy flavors. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, but the accompanying Moroccan relish was a bit too salty for my taste. The chilaqueles were decent, although the short rib could have been a bit more tender. While the food was generally good, the service was a bit slow because there was only one person doing both - taking orders and serving the food. Overall, Running Goose is a decent option for a casual meal in Los Angeles, but there are likely better choices for those seeking exceptional service.

This used to be one of the few places in Hollywood that a local non-tourist actually wanted to go to. I havent been in literally years. We went this week and it was so bizarre. Zero heaters outside in very cold weather, I trying to warm mynhands by the little flame they had out there, the waitress seemed rushed and bothered, the old guy that came out to tell us about supposed specials tossed the water on the table and it splashed all over. At least the food was still like I remember, good. But the service and lack of heaters really was poor form for us.
