    Great food - best roasted chicken, clean, simple food. Limited but great wine list. Good experience. Sommelier made recommendation for some good wine which heightened our experience. The space is tight. Overall a great experience.

    Nice place. Solid Italian food. But not exceptionally tasty or memorable. If anything, the dishes were a little boring. My favorite was actually the desert

    Came for a friend's birthday dinner. We sat on the back patio and it was absolutely lovely--beautiful lights, very peaceful, and although it was a cold night, the heaters kept it relatively comfortable. The service was impeccable, and the food was all delicious. Our party mostly ordered pasta, and there were no complaints.

    Intimate neighborhood gem. Went there to celebrate my daughter's graduation and the food was authentic and flavorful. Could use a little more variety in the wine selections, but overall wonderful, and can't wait to go back and enjoy the outdoor garden.

    Randomly chose this restaurant because the pictures looked good and it had the time slot we needed. We were running a little late and called to see if it was okay and they were very polite about it. Ended up getting there on time and they showed us to our table immediately and they provided their suggestions, which we took into consideration, and the pasta was delicious and just how we wanted it. They also accommodated our mock-tails request as we were driving and, again, their recommendation hit the spot. Nice and quiet inside and the servers were so kind and attentive. 5/5 would dine again

    We sat on Vanderbilt to take in the open street atmosphere—lots of fun on a Saturday evening. The food was excellent and the service was very attentive. Would definitely go again.

    NOT A FINE DINING RESTAURANT! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!We planned a family celebration at Fawn, however, after we sat down and ordered the bottle of wine the waiter has informed us that the restaurant has a modified menu. The menu was very small, the smallest menu I have ever seen in my life. Most of the items on the menu were sold out and we had no choice but order what was left. The food came very late, my party members were served at different times, no one seemed to care to check on us. The portions were ridiculously small and food was very average. I had to apologize to my family on behalf of this very disorganized restaurant!We left hungry and shocked 😳 I had to make dinner for 6 adults after the visit to this place!

    What a gem! We came here for dinner early on a Wednesday night for a 5pm reservation. You know you are at a good restaurant when the staff is having a team meeting before the guests arrive. It shows that the chef really cares about the experience of the guests. We had Aperol spritz which they made perfectly. Perfect proportions. We had the buratta salad which was dressed perfectly. And we had the gazpacho which had hints of strawberry in it making it quite unique. Foe our main course we had the lamb Ragu and the artic char (salmon) plus the asparagus side dish. Would order all of them again! For dessert we ordered the chocolate panna cotta. It came with yummy homemade vanilla wafer cookies. Definitely order that! Will be coming back again.

    Everything we ate was absolutely delicious, albeit small portions - an shrimp appetizer was $18 and came with only 1 shrimp! The hostess was a bit condescending when we came in without a reservation, fortunately though we scored one on opentable shortly thereafter. Other than that the service was delightful. The backyard is very cozy and warm even outdoors during the winter, the front outdoor seating area on the street is a bit exposed. All in all the food is so amazing I’d recommend anyone join them for dinner.

    I love this place but for some reason this time especially the portions were so small for the price. I left $80 poorer and a little hungry after an app and entree.

    I was really excited to try Faun, so I booked via OpenTable for Valentine's Day. Nowhere was it made clear that there would be a pre-fixed menu, so I was surprised to learn this upon arrival. After some back and forth, the staff accommodated my request to order à la carte, but portion sizes were very small and overall the meal was unsatisfying. For a $28 bowl of crab spaghetti, you'd expect a decent amount of food, yet... I would not go back.
