   An outstanding place for an amazing meal! We had a last reservation and they called to let us know they could seat us sooner! It was my birthday and they gave me a copy of the menu that the entire staff signed! Such a nice gesture! Service was outstanding! I told my husband my meal was likely one of the top 3, if not my number 1 meals I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant- the beef tenderloin is out of this world! Highly, highly recommend!!

   The short ribs are the best we have ever tasted so far in life. The rock fish special was also amazing. Every dish was worth the price!

   This is a great place to go for a special occasion or when you just want really good food! It is expensive, but the food, which is creatively prepared and of high quality is worth it. Our waitress's helpful a friendly manner made the dining experience very enjoyable. We will return the next time we are in Williamsburg.

   While it was pricey, you get service and food equal to cost. It was truly a magical experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

   One of our guests was upset to find that 3.5% was added to each guest’s bill to pay to the kitchen staff.

   From the moment we entered we were treated like royalty! Service was incredible as was the food. I am a NYC girl and have eaten at most of the so called “best”. Well I can tell you, Fat Canary is truly one of the best! Thank you for a wonderful evening!!

   Hands-down the best place in Williamsburg to eat. Wonderful food and excellent service. The food is always delicious. Creative drink menu and nice wine list. The short ribs and salmon were perfectly cooked and so flavorful. The soup of the day - potato - elevated potato soup to an art form.

    Very nice evening. Small seating area and very crowded. Ran out of specials but plenty of other menu choices Bartender made the perfect Old Fashion It was our first experience with a 3.5% add on for kitchen staff. I intended to adjust it from the tip but our server was so good I didn’t do so Restaurant is hard to find at night. We walked past it and had to use Maps to find it

    I know I've said a lot of good words about this place after my past visits, but can't help myself not to mention about another outstanding night here. This time we were served by a very nice gentleman named Keith (sorry if misspelt). And as always it was a top notch experience in all aspects of dining. Thank you Keith and the whole team for doing such an outstanding job. Before I thought that this restaurant is one of the best on Hampton roads. Now I think that IT IS THE BEST of them all. If you are a foodie like us and didn't try it yet then hurry up to get your pleasure soon.

    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.
