In answer a question about the Wild Goose in Sherman Oaks, it turns out to have been quite a popular place. I found more than two hundred mentions in the L.A. Times between 1953 and 1967, as a favorite restaurant for wedding and engagement dinners, anniversaries and group occasions. The only address I've been able to pin down was 15720 Ventura Boulevard, at Haskell Avenue, which these days is considered Encino. So I don't know yet if the restaurant moved, the lines changed or somebody back then just got the community names confused (which happened often.)
