   This is my new favorite restaurant. The feta dip is amazing. I love the short ribs and the brussel sprouts were a favorite.

   Fantastic food and excellent service make this one of the best dining experiences in town. However, the acoustics could use some improvement—holding a conversation, even with someone right across the table, can be a challenge. A little sound dampening would elevate this spot to truly top-tier.

   The lamb chops were absolutely divine, the short ribs melted in the mouth, and the accompaniments for each dish were super flavorful and unique. Our server was knowledgeable, personable and took great care of us. Definitely recommend!

   The only reason service received a 4 was because our waiter acted like he had an attitude at the end of the night and then messed up our checks and had to reprocess. He needed more personality, maybe he had an off night. I do want to say Mary, the door greeter and table seater was phenomenal! For her only being there two weeks she owned that place. She is full of personality and definitely engaging. I appreciate her making my birthday special! She definitely should be a waiter or have a different role! I hope her manager sees how valuable she is. If this gets to her, tell her she ROCKS!

   We made reservations ten days in advance, but we were still seated at small table next to the kitchen and the bathrooms. Turmeric roasted cauliflower and the pickled beet arugula salad were delicious. However, our entrees (braised short ribs & ricotta gnocchi topped with lamb bolognese) were served lukewarm and lacked flavor. Desert was bourbon pecan pie. The portion was small and served at room temperature. The whipped cream that came with it was top notch. Service was attentive and we were allowed plenty of time to enjoy our meal. The ambience was nice, but the acoustics were a little on the harsh side. We liked the picture of the building that used to sit at this location. It was a nice wink to those that are familiar with the history of the neighbourhood. Lastly, the parking lot is on the small side. I would not try to park a larger SUV or truck in it.

   we had an absolutely incredible dining experience at The Fat Lamb for Valentines Day. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort. The service was outstanding, our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations. Now, let’s talk about the steak. Cooked to absolute perfection, every bite was tender, juicy, and full of rich, smoky flavor. The quality of the meat was top-notch, and you could tell it was prepared with care. Overall, The Fat Lamb exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re looking for an exceptional experience, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back.
