   We always like to celebrate our family birthdays here and this visit was exceptional. We had a large group, and the service and food were excellent. Everyone's meals were prepared as requested. From the personalized menus signed by all the staff to the candles on the desserts, they made us feel welcome and special.

   We’ve always loved our dining experience here and we go out of our way to come. . But this time was a huge disappointment. The favorite fois grois was just shrunken portion of its former self, a few tiny overcooked pieces. The rest of the meal mediocre although the glass of cab was exceptional. Hard to recommend at this point.

   The Halibut special offered on the evening we visited was one of our favorite meals in years. The combination of ingredients made for a perfect complement to the halibut. Of course, the service was outstanding as usual. The wines offered by the glass also complemented the entrees. Another memorable evening at the Fat Canary.

   It was one of the many many visits to this great restaurant over the years. But this experience was really OUTSTANDING in all aspects of dining. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD TASTY and PLANTIFUL. And the service provided by Kevin was just UNBELIEVABLY PLEASANT, PROFESSIONAL and EFFICIENT. THANK YOU Kevin for making this evening bright and exiting. Though we order mostly the same favorite dishes every time, somehow this dinner felt very special for us gratefully to the whole team and especially Kevin. Big thank you to everyone. We are looking forward to out next visit hopefully soon.

    Our dinner was perfect! My filet was a great steak. Cooked perfectly with a burgundy sauce that worked well. My wife had the pork chop which she enjoyed! Our server Kevin is as good as it gets. Always a fantastic experience!

    The food was excellent and a reasonable price for a high end restaurant. A bottle of wine, one appetizer, 2 entrees, one dessert for $200. My only complaint is that the the tables were rather close together (no room for a wine bucket next to the table) and quite small (had to remove the small bread basket when the appetizer arrived). The noise level was loud, but did not hinder conversation.

    Overall food was good. We questioned whether the special was frozen fish as it was dry and tough, however the surrounding accompaniments were very good. Server seemed rushed and stressed but very polite.

    We dine at the FC annually at Christmastime, it's part of a tradition to visit historic W'burg to see the Christmas decorations. Last night we had two appetizers, the mozzarella and ham roll-up and the tuna tempura - both had very good flavors and presentation was stunning. For the main I had seared scallops with lemon-basil risotto and curry sauce. Sounds like a strange combination, but the flavors marry well together. My husband had the beef short ribs. In the past, these have been falling of the bone tender, this year, he had to use a knife. Kind of disappointing for a $40 dish. That said, it was still a great experience, and our server Mason was very attentive.

    Food is always excellent; noise level can vary based on how close you are seated to the bar. Tables for two can be close together also increasing the noise level.

    As always the food was outstanding and the service was perfect. Noise level was a little intense, but that happens sometimes when there is a person nearby that thinks everyone in the room wants to hear what they have to say. Made conversation a little tricky.

    I do not go to the Fat Canary for the ambience, but for the outstanding food. I ALLWAYS get the Fricassée of Rabbit and usually the Pan Seared Duck Breast. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every meal I have had there and think their chef and his staff are world class. You cannot go wrong.
