How can you mess up a chicken Caesar Salad? By serving salad dressing that was not liquid. It was a loose solid form of something that tasted like paper. Bad, bad

Enjoyed our meal, although very slow service--seemed like they may have been missing some wait staff. Very loud--maybe some panels on the walls or ceiling to help with sound attenuation? All in all, a lovely evening.

This was our first visit to Fat Duck and we will definitely be back. Everyone's meal was so tasty and any special requests were perfectly executed. Being a weeknight, it was not too crowded, so we could enjoy nice conversation without excessive background noise.

As a new restaurant the owners have worked hard to create a very nice atmosphere coupled with very tasty food and attentive service staff. Their liquor license is forthcoming which will only add to this new restaurant’s overall offering, which already has headed in a positive direction.

Very slow and uncaring service. Order was wrong and we were charged for what we didn't get. Hamburger was expensive. The cheese was barely there and whatever toppings they offered were so scant they weren't tasted. The fries were crisp but very salty. And there was no ambiance. I won't be back

We went when they had only been open three weeks and they were doing quite well already. Food was delicious and they seemed very organized, but service was slow probably due to the volume. All tables full on a Friday night and only 2 servers. Still don’t have a liquor license, but there’s a liquor store next-door. Cozy bar that looked very appealing. We had tuna app, mussels, and burgers - all delicious. Only negative was the noise level. A moderate level of volume just seem to be bouncing off the floor, ceiling, walls. That is something that could be mitigated. Looking forward to going back.
