Inspiring food! It was deliciously filled with flavor. Tasty drinks, rich wine selection, and great cuisine. Nice and romantic music that compliments the classic look of the dining room. The high ceilings, impressive indoor palm trees, and unique decor allow a sophisticated ambiance to come through. Friendly and caring staff, the service all over was great. We did feel appreciated, my friends and I have something to remember! I'd give it six stars if I could. We'll definitely come back for more good quality time. Merci beaucoup et Bravo!
This is the best place to eat, enjoy and celebrate when you're in Old Greenwich. The surprise birthday song was a BIG DEAL, suddenly we became a part of a big happy family that cheered us with much love and attention. Thank You.
Tucked off to the side of the classic Americana and just too quaint, clean, and posh downtown shopping district, Le Fat Poodle is a bistro that definitely reaches for the stars. The poodle adorns a large wall in the back overlooking your meal with a plump yet satisfied demeanor, it's expression at once whimsical and yet asking: is that all? Wouldn't you like just one more bite? And indeed, if there is any problem with Le Fat Poodle it's just that, you always want one more bite. The menu is eclectic including French, Tex Mex, and Indian selections, every one at once authentic yet original. I had a steak, perfectly seared, with onion rings you want to just shove all at once into your mouth... but for that would be rude and uncouth! The service was impeccable. The old fashioned I washed it all down with was just right. When we rolled away on our bellys, and out the door, I was so satisfied that I could barely eat my cake later, what a world!
Valentine’s Day…Place looked great, food was fantastic, hosts and mgmt were nice ? , and the tall, thin Brazilian busser was especially friendly and attentive ??. But unfortunately, we and the lovely couples seated beside us agreed that our mutual server, Damien, was irritable, distracted and treated us like inconveniences. He put a damper on the evening as we had to interact frequently w him. He took our signed check off our table before we left. We tipped over 20% and it even seemed he was displeased with his undeserved tip.Sorry LFP! Wish we could give you 5 stars
My wife and I have eaten here several times for dinner and really loved our food. The menu is creative, the ambiance unique - a sort of Casa Blanca French Moroccan vibe. But today I tried lunch for the first time. Our waiter highly recommended I try to Chicken Paillard. When it arrived, it looked thinner than other Chicken Paillards I have I had. When I bit into it, my mouth was greater with a mixture of burned pancake, dry chicken-nugget, and cardboard. I have eaten many a Chicken Paillard in my day and I this resembled none of them. I ate the salad on top but left 80% of the chicken and waited to see what the restaurant would do. They did ask how I liked it, which should have been obvious by the fact the "meat" was barely touched, and apologized when I said I didn't. I waited to see if they would cross it off the check, which is what I would have done during the years I spent as a waiter at college, but they didn't. Now the service otherwise was great. And this is the first time I have had a bad experience here. I highly recommend the restaurant ... but avoid that dish.
I’m countering my boyfriends 2 star review of this spot with a 4 star review ?. I had a great time at Le Fat Poodle! I think the vibe is really fun and upbeat with all the pumped up birthday songs. It has a better energy than most restaurants in town. I thought the food was pretty good too. We had a bunch of shared apps and I got steak frites which were delicious.
Best restaurant in town. The none marrow is to die for, but most importantly, no matter the mood you're in there's always something for you here. Great atmosphere and hospitality, and food to match. You can't go wrong.
Food was pretty good. Didn’t have a table ready for our reservation so we had to wait outside for 15 minutes. They had like four birthday celebrations where they crank the music incredibly loud that it hurts your ears if you’re near a speaker and you aren’t able to converse while they sing a birthday song. It’s weird to have that quality of food and that price and then have the atmosphere ruined multiple times by birthday celebrations that you would see at Chili’s.
My day and I met one of her friends here. Very French atmosphere. The fondue was delicious. We shared also the quiche. Would go again.
First time visit for my husband’s birthday and we loved it. The ambience, the service, the food and the cocktails, we had a great time.
