Fat Hen

Date night at Fat Hen was wonderful! The atmosphere is intimate and stylish. Food and drinks were delicious from start to finish. The waitstaff was attentive, speedy, and friendly. Would definitely recommend/come back.

I loved every. single. bite. The care was in every detail- the texture of the pasta, the complexity/ plating of each dish, and the quiet elegance of the interior design. The portion sizes were perfect. The wine I paired with my meal was delightful. Even the dessert impressed. I had the a glass of pino noir to drink, the squash raviolis for my main, and split the chocolate mousse for dessert. This is the kind of place I am always looking for- unassuming, thoughtful, and absolutely delicious. Keep up the great work! I'll be back soon!

I would love to say that this was a good experience, but the overall situation that transpired from going to this restaurant has left such a bad taste in my mouth I cannot recommend this place to absolutely anyone! I went to dinner with a friend last Friday and I covered the meal, but I did not leave the tip on my credit card. And thank goodness immediately after I left the restaurant I made a payment for the exact amount of the dinner. I decided to check my card statement this evening and see an additional 20% was charged to my card. THIS IS LITERALLY THEFT! It concerns me to think how many other people potentially go to this restaurant swipe their cards and if the staff doesn’t like how much they’re getting tipped, they just decide to take it upon themselves to charge people additionally and think people won’t notice or check their bank statements. This restaurant literally steals people’s money and should be investigated at the very least if not shut down altogether! This experience raises so many concerns and shows levels of dishonesty. I wrote the total for the dinner without tip on the line of the receipt where it says total which means somebody had to cross out what I wrote and add an additional amount on the tip line in order for this to happen. If this happened to me I can only imagine how many other people this has happened to and they didn’t notice. I REPEAT DON’T EAT HERE UNLESS YOU’RE TRYING TO GET ROBBED OF YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!

Had a perfect night out with a friend here. We loved the chic decor and there were so many things on the menu we were excited to try. The Milanese pork was outstanding !! It’s a must. Great cocktails too. Will be coming back!

Delicious appetizers Mains were hit or miss - the rigatoni was way too salt - the tortellini with duck was ok - the pasta with shrimp was delicious Unfortunately despite their airco being on it was uncomfortably hot Staf was kind and doing a great job especially since it was sooo hot

Ate at Fat Hen yesterday with a friend. We utilized a City Gilt certificate for a 4 course and a wine pairing. We had the best meal! Everything was delicious and the wines were well paired with the food. Service was also impeccable! Thank you for a memorable meal!

Really nice place to eat. The octopus starter was good but the burrata crostini was a bit smoky. The gnocchi was very good and we liked the actual pasta a lot, the sauce on the pasta course was good but not great. Our favorite part of the meal was the entrees. The bass was excellent and was served over an awesome pea salad dish. The steak was also fabulous and came with these amazing fried potato gratin cube things, they were really awesome. We got two desserts, blackberry panna Cotta was not good. The actual panna cotta was bland and completely overwhelmed by a champagne topping. The white chocolate semifredo with strawberry gelato was incredible!!!! One of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time. Really great service and all around really nice experience.

We went to Fat Hen pre-covid and they offered a wonderful four course meal. I decided to revisit for a special occasion. The doors were locked at 5:06 despite our reservation at 5 pm. Odd. We signed up for the chef’s experience, which over the phone was mentioned as a way for the chef to offer dishes they were experimenting with as extras. There was nothing offered during our experience that was extra and nothing made mention of the fact that it was the chef’s experience. No chef came to speak to us. The beet salad was a pile of beets and dressed, Mediterranean style greens. It lacked brightness due to lack of acid and the plating could be improved. There was no additional herbs or garnish. Just pistachios, beets, greens and goat cheese. The flavors were very muddied. We received a bucatini carbonara that I had been looking forward too. It was extremely salty. My husband remarked that it was like a can of concentrated campbell’s soup. The pasta was not cooked enough, even by al dente standards. When we mentioned it to the server she said that since we already ate so much of it she wasn’t gonna do anything abt it. But there wasn’t even an apology or discount. The steak was alright. But there was a large pat of anchovy butter on top that was rock solid- a pat of butter 3 inches wide and half inch tall which was very large - usually maitre’d butter is softened but this looked like it was straight from the freezer. It was very tough to spread and also made the steak taste worse. They also forgot to put the uni on top until I flagged that it was missing. There was also a small bristle I found… like something off of a brush. Overall one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a while. Not sure what happened to this restaurant. Would not recommend.
