    NY strip, sweet potato

    Service was so friendly and attentive. We felt super welcomed. Most importantly, the food was incredible. Fresh food, you can tell it's all made with care with delicate, thoughtful touches to each dish. This is definitely a good spot for date night, nice dinner out. Do recommend and will be back!

    A beautiful dining experience with delicious dishes for any travelers. Recommend any of their specials. I had the shrimp marsala, and... Finished. Every. Bite.

    3.5 rounded up because Our server Dustin was awesome! Christine is absolutely fabulous and ao kind and seems to know many of the diners! I love that the inside is like a cozy log cabin. Super comforting and relaxing. They bring bread and butter and it was not very good. That's ok. The salads were amazing. Homemade blue cheese was delicious. Caesar salad was wonderful. The issues came with the main entrees. The veggie side of the day was cabbage and peppers. It just wasn't good. My son ordered his 8oz filet medium, we should have ordered medium well. It was basically mooing. He couldn't finish it. My husband was excited for walleye and he got it pan seared and probably should have gotten a different flavor but it was mild and not fishy and very good. The sea scallops were like butter. Melted in your mouth good. The Alfredo served with it was good but a tad crispy on top like dried out but under it was very good. The desserts were delicious and you must save room for some! Pecan cobbler was like brown sugary buttery nutty goodness. The Crème Brûlée was light and delicious. Overall very expensive. Wonderful service. And good food but not excellent which you would expect for the price. May try and go back now that they have burgers Wednesday and Thursday nights and the Reuben looked good as well.

    Filet with grilled shrimp

    I really wanted to love this place. It seemed they were short on staff as there was one waitress and one busboy. It appears as thought they owner/chef's wife was waiting tables as well and she waited on us. We had a reservation after calling and she said "mmm, I can't get you at 7:30". Maybe the fact it sounded as though we were being squeezed in, should have been a sign. We were placed at a high top directly across from the bathrooms. I don't know if other patrons were just in there drinking but many used the restrooms over and over. I got up three times to close the doors because they would be left wide open. If I was the owner, I'd remove this table all together. So that wasn't pleasant. We ordered an appetizer of crab Rangoon dip and a steak to share with hash browns and salad. The app came out first, as it should. Hot dip and fresh fried wontons to dip with. It had a very sweet taste and I'm not sure why. I think of crab Rangoon at an Asian restaurant and it always taste of cream cheese, no sweetness so give it a C. The salad was next and it was a good salad so A on that. The steak was cooked medium as requested so A on the sear but I didn't think it had much flavor or seasoning so I'd have to drop to a C. The hash browns (our choice, you can get baked or mashed) were soaked in the red blood juice from the steak and just, well nope. F on those. We were there 90 minutes. It took a long time to get our order taken and a long time between app, salad and main dish. I usually don't mind a leisurely date night dinner but not at a high top, not by the bathroom, and the noise level was loud and we weren't even in the main dining area. It just wasn't worth spending over a Benjamin, especially when we split a meal. It's a small place really so perhaps with an additional server, it might be better. They have a large outdoor patio also. Others have given great reviews and perhaps they had a better experience and better food. May have been an off night but I likely won't return

    Bone in ribeye with blackened shrimp

    We were celebrating a huge milestone and wanted to try The Fat Chef. What a great place near the lake in Northwest Arkansas. We started with wine and stuffed mushrooms and both set the stage for a great experience. My husband ordered the bone in ribeye special and WOW. The steak was hand cut and huge, cooked perfectly, and also included shrimp and twice baked potato. I enjoyed a plate of delicious seafood fettuccine. Creamy and full of parmigiana goodness. The staff was very attentive and made the night super relaxing. We will be back.

    Scallops- yummy

    Thai Taste - Chicken Tom Yum

    Absolutely delicious! It was so good that I wanted to lick the plate!…read more We came for a Monday lunch and each had the combo lunch special that came with fried rice, stir-fried vegetables and a spring roll. I chose broccoli beef and basil chicken (minus the bell pepper) at a spice level of two. Everything was cooked perfectly, meat was abundant and the flavors were outstanding. Even the spicy/vinagary egg roll sauce was tasty. The restaurant was clean and pleasant too. I can't wait to try more of their dishes, although I would imagine it would be hard to top what I had! I guess I will just have to take my chances! Check it out!

    I have been wanting to try this place for awhile now. It is in a kind of odd location on Hudson…read morewhere there is mainly Mexican spots. The restaurant is kind of small and very clean decorated minimally in Thai decor. We were greeted quickly and found a seat. After reviewing the menu we placed our orders. I was surprised how quickly food came. I ordered chicken Tom Yum soup not realizing it would feed 4 people. It was delicious and full of chicken. I then had the Special Grill Chicken. This dish had so many flavors, it too was delicious. There were so many items on the menu I have never seen at a Thai restaurant before. I ordered Panang Curry to take home for the next day. I was not surprised, it to was delicious. I took home so much food because the servings were so large. I look forward to coming back. Service was great and price was very fair.
