    Nachos

    Really good service and super fresh and delicious food. We got the nachos, tacos, and chocolate mousse. Loved everything!

    Crab Cake

    First time there, the doors were open with ceiling fan going. They probably haven't turned the AC on. It was very noisy, most restaurants are, anyway. The food is pretty good but they are no steak house because the steak we ordered wasn't good as expected. They serve the bread in a paper bag which is the first, I say. They have outdoor seating which may be a better choice because it was a bit hot inside.

    Love the food. The service. And ambiance of Le Fat Poodle. Expensive but worth it. Give it a go. Have fun

    solid 4 stars. i enjoyed every dish i tried - seems like you cant go wrong with any dish here. very cute ambiance; just didn't love the ice cream sundae dessert. enjoyed my salmon bowl - flavorful, and i ate every bite. also enjoyed the smoked salmon on latkes and steak tacos. cocktails were fine. i'd come back, but don't run back since i don't live in the area. i'm sure i'd be a repeat customer if i lived closer.

    Very elegant and cozy restaurant with excellent service. We went in without a reservation, but from the looks of it, I recommend calling and making reservations because it got full quickly. The food was excellent. Our table had multiple plates and they were all good and if high quality and good taste. They also have an outdoor seating area for those good weather days and nights. Overall I recommend this place for any occasion.

    Celebrated my mother's Bday here and we had a wonderful time. Excellent service- our waiter was informative and attentive. On a Monday night we thought it was going to be a pretty quiet dining experience. Little did we realize that it was like the Real Housewives of OG. It was GNO central. Nonetheless, as the noise level rose, the service and the quality of food rose as well. Really wonderful dining experience with a great selection of appetizers, specials and entrees.

    DJ and I had a great BDay celebration (for DJ) at Le Fat Poodle. I had the "Marry Me" chicken which was done to perfection the Millionaire Bacon it comes with was amazing (Had to look this up... never heard of that before...). The setting is cozy, casual and upscale and the service was great - they did a little birthday sparkler thing and surprisingly, the response was wonderful, and didn't seem forced or fake from both staff and table neighbors. Really a classy place. Coming back... I just gotta give my wallet a rest... Seriously though, it is worth it - the whole experience.

    If Yelp should develop a "Critic's Choice" award when an establishment hits all points and goes above and beyond for service, food and setting in one quickie lunch, Le Fat Poodle earns it from me. We found a parking space in front, there is a back entrance which has a lot. There's a ramp from the front door to the patio, making it very easy for mother to access our table in their attractive, blue and white outdoor area punctuated with hanging ivy foliage wall planters and (real, not plastic) fern containers under a large tent. Attractive, comfortable, clean and beachy. Mother was helped down the ramp by the maître d', and when her napkin was blown off the table our waiter immediately returned with heavier cloth. It's those little moments that keeps my ticker pumping and maintains it's faith in humanity. We ordered the bone marrow with onion jam (which I hadn't seen since Michael Gennaro's, RIP). Two large pieces perfectly cooked with enough toasted bread and jam for both of us, and a salt cellar jogged mother's memory of a recipe she'd brought back from France. "Maybe I'll see if I can find it," she said.* We shared lobster sliders (cute idea, made with lobster chunks and excellent slaw) and a crab cake. The first thing I do with crabcakes is to examine if there is crab (not krab/breadcrumbs, etc.), and this one passed muster to the max. The truffle fries were small and moist on the inside with just the right amount of crunch. You know fries are exceptionally good if ketchup isn't required. Desserts sounded wonderful, and I'll try them once I lose my Covid weight (oh yes, it will happen). The maître d' circled with tea, water or just to see how things were going. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. It's a totally different establishment from my last experience. *If cooking means combining more than 2 ingredients, she doesn't.'

Set in a pre-war stone building with two dining rooms, Chez Vous provides an intimate dining experience for Francophiles and those whose palettes have yet to be turned on to authentic French and French-inspired cuisine. From the chandelier in the front dining room to the spiderweb window-topped accordion glass doors that open into outdoor seating to the unique illustrations upon the tabletops, you'll feel as though you've stepped into a Paris bistro in the heart of Stamford. Mon Dieu! The warm goat cheese salad! I swore I wasn't going to eat it all, but somehow I emptied my plate. I added chicken and the meat was juicy and savory. The sour cherry vinaigrette was a lovely way to dress the toasted almond shavings and greens. The Montrachet melted in my mouth. The service was attentive and cordial. I felt bad they couldn't coax dessert because I've had their crème brûlée on another occasion and it was heavenly. C'est magnifique, Chez Vous!

Twice for our food order. I had the mushroom risotto, which was very bland, but the winners were the escargot, the shepherds, pie, and the lentils. If you order a bottle of wine, it seems you get faster attention. Are used to come here years ago, but I think it's under new ownership. Not sure I will definitely try it again. It is very convenient to the Avon theater. It is quite loud, but for many that would add to the festive environment. Not good for older people who have hearing issues! I must say that I thought the tableware, and the dishware was very attractive. The cargo was cooked to perfection. It is a reason to come there if that's one of your favorites.

Some call it class, others call it manners. Some don't know the difference but there is one. And so I didn't break out my phone as to not embarrass myself and my loved one. And to fit in with a crowd I don't belong to. Ashamed of myself? Never. Orienta is highly rated and beloved by locals. This is somehow takeout for some of the Greenwichites although in other territories nobody would ever dare takeout from such a lovely and lively ambiant. Suit jacket upon suit jacket crowd by the inside of the door, shaking each other's hands and sharing faux cheek pecks. I saw way too many salads hit tables even though they were probably very good. Anything to stay snatched, holla at boy. Excuse me, your man... gentleman. Pilates. Reformers. Hot yoga. Musical chairs at Orienta with everyone that walks by because somehow we know everyone in this town and we're all wearing the same clothes and speak the same and happen to be at Orienta on the same night and somehow decide to join each other all for dinner. Amazing town to study. Just amazing. Anyways - Bao Buns are very good, dumplings solid. Pad Thai is like a savory pad see ew / pad Thai combo - very nice. Their star savory crepe is very fresh tasting and the chicken inside the crepe is very very nice. Pricing is fair. Service was quick, the servers were nice but cautiously and potentially judgingly so if that makes sense. Like if you waved your mitts across their face their eyes would roll behind their sockets and they'd start hitting thriller. And maybe a Soulja boy... YOUUUUUUU. You should give this place a try. It's good. I wouldn't call it 5 star great though. I'd like to try a few more things but nothing really stood out, nothing really disappointed. For the local tribes it's straight vibes. For us outta towners, one go was enough but I won't say no to a second-go.

We had a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived, which was a great start to the evening. For an appetizer, we ordered the Calamars à la Plancha, and it was definitely an excellent choice: tender, flavorful, and delicious. For our main courses, we tried the duck (Magret de Canard), veal served with linguine (Veau), and the Cajun chicken (Poulet Cajun). All three were great choices and very enjoyable. A couple of suggestions: the veal cutlets had quite a bit of black pepper, so I think it would be better to let customers add it themselves according to their preference. We also ordered the truffle fries as a substitute for the pommes frites that normally come with the Cajun chicken, and they were absolutely delicious! And I can't forget to mention the excellent Kir Royale a perfect addition to the meal. Overall, a very enjoyable experience with great food, pleasant service, and a lovely atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd be happy to visit again!

Savory crepes are offered Breton style using buckwheat flour. These galettes bretonnes are light and crispy with an earthly toasted flavor, the ideal counterpoint to the fillings that accompany them such as hearty European cheeses, charcuterie, tangy pickles or spicy arugula leaves. Among them, galettes Choupette (fig, arugula, prosciutto, goat cheese), Ractiflette (potato, watercress, Raclette cheese, charcuterie) and Complète Jambon (Gruyère, organic egg, country ham) are super delish and totally worth a try. Sweet crepes, made with whole wheat flour, are the soft fluffy crepes we are more familiar with around here. Personal favorites include the Traditionnelle (butter, sugar), Hugette (pear, dark chocolate, almonds) and the Amour et jalousie (Nutella, banana, strawberry). Lots of beverage options here!
