8.1
Tucked just off Hollywood Boulevard, Running Goose is a patio-centric spot serving globally influenced, vegetable-forward plates with Central American accents. String lights, an herb garden, and shared plates give it a low-key, design-conscious feel that regulars love. It flies a bit under the tourist radar, which only adds to its appeal.
Must-Try Dishes:
Arugula tostada, Goose salad with burrata, Pork cheek or seasonal braised special
What Makes it Special: A garden patio hideaway serving creative share plates just off the main strip.
