We have only been to Fanny’s one other time this year which is unusual for us as in previous years we were here more often. Tonight we were reminded of what we’ve been missing! Came early so that we could attend a screening at 7:30, and thus provided ourselves enough time to enjoy the always delicious cocktails and to share the always fresh and delicious simple salad, accompanied by their amazing focaccia with their garlic Boursin whipped butter. I had the delicious beef strips medium rare with great, crispy, seasoned fries and pasta with lobster. I topped off my steak with a glass of Nebbiolo! Everything great, and served by the charming, courteous and professional Ryan! We will be back sooner than later!!!

Great cocktails, food and service. The 8 hour lamb shank was amazing, the ratatouille and Brussels sprouts were amazing. Wine prices are too high. Côtes du Rhône at $60 is ridiculous
