Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Hawthorne / Gardena

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.

What a wonderful find. Ambiance captured the vibe of a French bistro. The food and service were what we expect in Europe and they delivered on that as well.a menu a Parisian would love.

Terrific holiday meal with a great server. Love dining at the Moonlark.

Great service, great food, great ambiance. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion.

I have wanted to eat at Poppy & Rose for years! Many times when I pass by on the weekends it's packed so I keep moving. I decided to make it a date and go try the food that I've heard so much about. I have also seen the Chef Michael on some of the food competitions, that I am obsessed with! To my delight, I did not order what I expected to, the waffles & fried chicken. Instead I ordered a la carte chicken sausage patty, half of an avocado, and the joyful surprise.. the biscuit! Listen, I am a biscuit Aficionado and I tell you a biscuit is good it is good. But this biscuit was better than good, it was heavenly. It was an orb of a whisper tender homemade angel biscuit with crispy, flaky, delicious layers that were so good I had to take almost an hour to enjoy every morsel. And the homemade Berry Jam was no joke either... incredibly delicious. Believe me when I tell you that if it had not cost me $30 for a half dozen biscuits I would have taken a half dozen home. My body thanks me for not doing so but boy I have been thinking about those biscuits ever since. I have had many biscuits around the city and in markets but I promise you Poppy's is the very best I have had . I promise you it is only with great restraint that I don't go over there right now and order at least three to bring home for breakfast tomorrow. Oh, and by the way, my lunch partner said his smoked beef sandwich was divine. I will definitely be back.
