Reviews for Le Fat Poodle in Old Greenwich, CT

I wish I could give four and a half stars, which would be more accurate. We enjoyed our meal here and thought it was very fair... for the price. The space is airy and feels like dining on some French Polynesian island. The service was friendly and attentive.The drink and wine menus have lots of interesting options. We started with oysters, which, combined with the bread served atthe table, were the worst part of the meal. The bluepoints tasted fishy and left an unpleasant aftertaste that even the lovelymignonette could not kill - we left two of them on the plate. The bread was really lackluster, which seems like an easy butimportant thing to remedy. The escargots, however, were outstanding: garlicky, buttery perfection. The angel hair with meatballswas excellent, as well. We tried a shrimp appetiser special that looked very promising but that was ultimately undersalted andtherefore not as flavorful as it might have been. In our opinion, the tiramisu is good but lacking enough of the mascarponecream to really make it velevety and luxurious. The brownie sundae was attractive and tasty. The coffee was delicious. We willdefinitely return to sample more of the menu, and I'll have to have the escargot again. It's a fun, festive, quirky place. Read more

Great place! We went to dinner following the Polo March at Greenwich Polo Club. We arrived around 530PM and only a few people... were there. Within 30-45 minutes the place was packed. Great at atmosphere and amazing food! Highly recommend! Read more

Probably the most vegetarian friendly place we went to in Greenwich. Well made cocktails & apps were very good (Nachos & the... eggplant). The lackluster service left plenty to be desired. Ordered the Portobello Tacos and it was just a pile of mush on atortilla. Dish needs some serious work, couldn’t eat more than a couple bites. Server never came back to ask us how our foodwas. My wife enjoyed her mushroom ravioli. Read more

Like the last time here, the kitchen team just shines with incredibly delicious food that's inventive! Plus, the kitchen's... Spanish influence adds authentic dishes to the expected menu of French bistro fare. What's not to love about lunch, dinner orbrunch with outdoor dining options too?! Highly recommend you make a reservation soon. Read more

We had an amazing lunch at this lovely establishment. I was traveling through CT, looking for a place off I-95 for lunch. Based... on the reviews, I selected this restaurant. It does not disappoint! The food was outstanding. Read more

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 decorallow a sophisticated ambiance to come through. Friendly and caring staff, the service all over was great. We did feelappreciated, my friends and I have something to remember! I'd give it six stars if I could. We'll definitely come back for moregood quality time. Merci beaucoup et Bravo! Read more

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 intown. I thought the food was pretty good too. We had a bunch of shared apps and I got steak frites which were delicious. Read more

I will give 2 1/2 stars. A bit disappointed, I like their other restaurant, Le Penguin Bistro more. I was excited to escargots... but they were really bad, worse than store bought frozen ones. Nothing excited about the main course either. The staffs werebusy, the service was not attentive. The time we were there, there were at least 5-6 birthday tables, the staffs sang loudly andmade a lot of noise. At the beginning, it was fun, but after so many tables, became a bit annoying. Read more
