Soup special was overpoweringly sweet. Shrimp special was overcooked. Croque Madame was passablely tasty. Overall, waste of $100 unless you care that much about good service, high ceilings, and sandwiches you can eat with a knife and fork.

Excellent French bistro menu and service. Professional waiters and good ambience. Ceviche of the day was excellent, as were the crab cakes and tuna tartare. Crawfish etouffe was brilliant. I wanted everything on the menu. Nice wine per glass selection. A little pricey but totally worth it. Highly recommend.

Another win for Le Fat Poodle in Old Greenwich! My family and I went there for a graduation dinner tonight & had a lovely meal. I ordered the asian-style steak tartare & fries, featured below. Other members of our party got the mussels marinara, mahi mahi tacos, and jalapeño bread pudding. We also really enjoyed sharing the sticky toffee pudding as our dessert! Don't pass on this place!

Came here for my brother-in-laws birthday and we had an incredible time. There were 8 of us and the service was absolutely incredible, we never had to wait for a drink they were always coming around to ask what we wanted to have next! We loved the ambiance and the food as well. Totally recommend the crab cake Benedict. They made my brother-in-laws birthday special and we can’t wait to go back!

I had the best experience here today. Very nice food and cocktails but really is on the top of their menu is the amazing service. At one point I was scooping out an ice cube from my water and the next thing I know the busboy brings me a glass of ice with a spoon. The manager stopped and asked how I was enjoying my appetizer ( fresh oysters! ). My server anticipated my needs and gave me space while also being attentive. The couple next to me was delightful and we had a nice chat. This restaurant makes me miss living on the east coast. I'll definitely come back when I'm back in town!

Very good food. Went a few times since middle of last year and were considering this a local, dependable place to get good food and classy setting. The last visit though, there happened to be 2 birthdays. OMG, they crank the sound up to ear busting levels, base bursting throughout the whole building (the seats your sat on, which is not pleasant when you’re trying to enjoy digesting a meal). 50 Cent “its your birthday”, “we gonna party like it’s your birthday”, that one. Don’t get me wrong, I wish everyone a lovely occasion, I had a birthday recently but no way was I gonna subject other people to that. It’s over the top and on steroids. I think is was inappropriate to other guests to be so obnoxiously loud. Even if you wanted to sing along and congratulate the birthday boy/girl, they would never know it. I literally had to shield my ears because the decibels were “up there” and I’ve been to the loudest rock concerts on my day including Led Zep. Sorry but won’t be risking a ruined evening ever again. I think this is poor judgment and juvenile behaviour on the part of management and I even saw a waiter cringing. Just…..be aware. If that’s what you like and want, go for it, food is excellent. However, I don’t think celebratory things should be so loud and overdone, for the sake of other patrons. And I definitely don’t consider this place to be classy anymore

I just walked in with my girlfriend for v day. The professional manager greeted us with a smile, gave us a vip table and away we went. It was a prix fix menu, The Best oystahs. My GF is Thai, these oystahs reminded her of the old country. Tuna tartare was 5 stars. Main course was Lobster in Pasta and dover sole. This was the Best dover sole I have ever eaten in my life. Dessert was apple tart and key lime pie. Server had a moustache, handsome and 5 star excellence. I love Le Fat Poodle.

Modern French Restaurant Bistro. The staff was excellent and very attentive the food came out perfect and plenty of time between courses. It was a Tuesday night and it was busy. The presentation of each plate was spit on and the lemon sole was one of the best I have had. The wine list is great and priced reasonably. A must go for a night out just the 2 of you or a group. Great location of the main street.

The very best! I was so fortunate to get a reservation to the ever fabulous Le Fat Poodle on Friday. Ever since, it’s been all that my family and I could think about. We came to celebrate a birthday, excited by the innovative and thoughtfully crafted menu. Though Le Fat Poodle is always packed, the maitre’d, the waiter, and all the incredible staff of the restaurant work so hard to ensure every patron is well taken care of. For our family, this was so important and we felt so happy being amongst such a passionate team! We were delighted by the incredible assortment of vegetarian options at a restaurant that evokes the many nations France has influenced. It’s TRULY what French food is meant to be- from the South American influence of Suriname, to French, Swiss, Vietnamese, and Indian Touches. The spices of these many regions was well used, creating food that was tasty, unforgettable, and most importantly: a delight to enjoy. We had the nachos (the best we have EVER HAD!), the fondue (a wonderful activity and meal to have as a family), the Thai sticky wings (so yummy, the perfect combo of sweet and spicy) and probably THE BEST buratta I’ve EVER encountered- the perfect balance of the eggplant caponata to the creamy rich cheese was… AMAZING! As we imbibed on the awesome wine selection, we were met with our next set of delights: our entrees! I was fortunate to have the ravioli- it’s a fantastic plate- perfectly cooked ravioli (such a rarity) perfectly paired with a truffle flavored white sauce, seasoned wild mushrooms, and peas, a lovely crunch! It was generously served and I delighted with every bite! My brother had the pasta rojo with the fantastic eggplant meatballs! The passata Le Fat Poodle uses is FIRST CLASS- well seasoned, beautifully prepared, and sooo flavorful- it elevates the perfectly cooked angel hair and pairs so lovely the with the well spiced eggplant meatballs, making a complete dish! My dad decided to pair two unique and fantastic sides (you’ll never see anywhere else!)- the jalapeño bread pudding (a must try! DELIGHTFUL!!!) which showcased the utter care and dedication the chef takes to every recipe! And of course something that takes our ultimate compliment- the curry spinach. As an Indian family that LOVES to cook, trust us when we say we know flavor! And I assure you, Le fat poodle makes some of the BEST spinach we have ever tried. The perfect scent coming from the spinach, and the lovely crunch of the shallots on top… UNFORGETTABLE. Now I’m clearly missing a major part of what made our experience so amazing- the service. Our waiter and the staff made sure we felt so taken care of, checking on us, making us feel so so comfortable that night! Greeted to generous portions and fantastic food, our service experience made this probably THE BEST experience we have had in a LONG time! And okay… if you wanna celebrate a birthday YOU MUST come to Le Fat Poodle- they take pride in making it special. With the fantastic surround sound, we were immersed in the greatest birthday track- stayin alive x in da club- as my brother’s chocolate mousse came illuminated by a sparkler (how fun is that!) the restaurant joined us in celebration, making us have just the most unforgettable moment! We delighted in the richness of the chocolate mouse and the wonderful killer banana split before being met with four flutes of a most delicious champagne, a perfect end to a perfect night! Since Friday, Le Fat Poodle is all we can think about. About the incredible cuisine, AMAZING TEAM (seriously STANDING OVATION TO YALL!!!!!), and just… this INCREDIBLE part of Greenwich! One of the greatest restaurants IN THE WORLD (and I genuinely mean that!!!!)!!!! We will be back and will be recommending Le Fat Poodle to everyone we know… because trust me, no one should miss out on the fabulousness of this AMAZING place. To the team at Le Fat Poodle- thank you for an unforgettable and wonderful night. We are so so grateful to you and can’t wait to come back soon!!!!

The 3 stars all belong to the main dish and to our server. However, the tarte tatin was beyond disappointing: the soggy crust and overcooked apples would be, at the best of cases, an apple purée. But what really threw us off was the arrogant maître’s reaction to our constructive, discreet and respectful feedback, saying that “the problem is that YOU don’t like the pie, because our clients love it”. Well, no need to make it clear that we aren’t clients of this restaurant. We definitely won’t be coming back.

Here on a Tuesday night and the place was packed with good looking people of Greenwich CT. I was not too thrilled to dining here after 4 previous consecutive experiences of badly executed food, but I was invited here on a date (as were the last ones). Started out with delicious escargot with rich garlicky butter sauce, which was thoroughly mopped by our bread. I ordered the special night dish of duck confit cooked for 6 hours, bragged by our server. Well the duck confit came out in an unappetizing pale gray hue. It looked like it was cooked boiled, and when I had a bite, the meat tasted undercooked. I asked to get it cooked more and to make it more crispy, and came out still pale gray color but a bit more cooked in a microwave--yuck. Even if not cooked in a microwave still tasted like it was.

In a space that was once the Old Greenwich post office, than the Old Greenwich Community Center, than a Chinese Restaurant and than Arcadia Coffee, Fat Poodle never disappoints. The best lunch spot (crowded by noon) the staff is amazing. Friendly, attentive and always keeping a watchful eye. The food is always amazing from salads to Fish tacos and everything in between. The key lime pie is a must to finish off your amazing meal.

What a fantastic place! Where to begin... Firstly, the staff here are so incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. I've had great luck with being able to be squeezed in even when they are fairly full-up, and I've never had any experience here that was subpar. Their filet is so, so delicious, and I'd highly recommend their asparagus and/or frites along with the filet (medium rare or at the most medium, if I may suggest). If it's someone's birthday or special occasion, they are REALLY on point with remembering this / making notes, and effectuating a great surprise for the guest of "honor". I'd recommend this spot to anyone celebrating a great night out.

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 at the table, were the worst part of the meal. The bluepoints tasted fishy and left an unpleasant aftertaste that even the lovely mignonette could not kill - we left two of them on the plate. The bread was really lackluster, which seems like an easy but important thing to remedy. The escargots, however, were outstanding: garlicky, buttery perfection. The angel hair with meatballs was excellent, as well. We tried a shrimp appetiser special that looked very promising but that was ultimately undersalted and therefore not as flavorful as it might have been. In our opinion, the tiramisu is good but lacking enough of the mascarpone cream to really make it velevety and luxurious. The brownie sundae was attractive and tasty. The coffee was delicious. We will definitely return to sample more of the menu, and I'll have to have the escargot again. It's a fun, festive, quirky place.

I reallly really really wanted to love this place. The ambiance is fantastic and the location really cool, but the food is disgusting. Y'all they are in there pre-cooking and reheating chicken. Chicken! Chicken is the reason I don't eat leftovers. Unlike any other protein, chicken tastes completely different from fresh versus reheated. I was first suspicious when my "cajun dry rub wings" were inconsistently warm. I worried because undercooked chicken can make a person ill. But then I noticed a taste similar to when people bring chicken to a picnic - they are not cooking their chicken upon order. Never in my life have I ever seen this. The deviled eggs were uninspired. I get deviled eggs anytime they show up on a menu and these were by far the worst. The "lump crab cake" was mostly fillers and the crab tasted nothing like what I am used to having dated a man from Baltimore area for years (Prime in Stamford has a much better crab cake). The crab cake had a previously frozen, now deep fried taste. Again I wanted to love this place but the food is awful. The only thing edible was the bread and olive oil. The service was about a 4. Too many random people asking if I wanted more wine. Calm down, I get that's how yall make your money but it is a Tuesday. If you care about how food tastes, not worth it.

A favorite of mine. Anshu and team always have a fun, eclectic menu marrying classic French bistro cuisine classics with global twists. The wine list is also not to be missed with a nicely curated mix of Old World and New World wines (especially heavy on French wines) at approachable pricepoints. Don't sleep on dessert either. From the seasonal gelato flavors to the Vietnamese coffee, there's always something that will end the meal pleasantly and perfectly.

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!

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.

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.

Le fat poodle This really is a charming place. Super fun atmosphere, earnest service, a well-priced wine list with a solid variety of selections, and an eclectic menu. A previous reviewer seemed mad that they didn’t get the seat they wanted because the table was being reserved for a five top, and that five top didn’t show, a not uncommon, but staggeringly rude, occurrence. How on earth can a restaurant be held to task for the inactions of the customers? Absurd. The vibe was great. Fun birthday celebrations abounded on our visit, the decor is well-done. The food however is mediocre at best. Nothing was bad, but everything lacked flavor, spice, umami, etc. and we had a variety of dishes and desserts. Well, the onion rings *were* very good. But the cheese tray, $24, had the most bog-standard supermarket cheeses, Brie, blue, etc., none of which were any good. Super over-priced. I didn’t finish it and I always finish a cheese plate. It is a diverse menu, offering, for example, steak Frites, blackened Cajun salmon, and chicken tikka masala. That’s certainly a global mish-mash. One wonders if the chef is aiming too broadly. A disappointment food-wise, but if that’s not a deal-breaker and you’re looking for a fun night out, this place is fine.

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.

Casual atmosphere with amazing food, welcoming staff and great atmosphere. Chef Kris Grossman continues to provide amazing staples while creating the most unexpected specials.... Nothing on the unique and diverse menu disappoints. If you see anything less than five stars on this site the problem is the contributor not the talented and professional folks at Le Fat Poodle.

Charming restaurant with friendly staff. Food was fresh and uncomplicated (in a good way), with the only negative being the portion size on the smaller side.

The food is great if overpriced, but hey this is Greenwich. The ambiance is great also. On second thought, it isn't overpriced, it's just that supply prices have gone through the roof.

We went with friends and had a wonderful experience. We ate outside where the tables were separated nicely. The menu had a lot of nice choices. My wife had escargot which she really enjoyed and said were delicious. My friend and I shared the fondue which was easily the best fondue I ever had out. We had filet mignon and steak frites which were cooked perfectly. Desserts were delicious. Our server was professional, polite, friendly and informative. Prices were about average. We shall return.

I had a very nice lunch here with my mother and several siblings a couple weeks ago. I had the 'Croque Monsieur' and they did an excellent job on it. All around was good food, nice portions and thoughtful, attentive service.

This place has become our default for an excellent all around experience during the pandemic. All of the protocols they follow just makes me feel so much more comfortable. The food is consistently fantastic and if you go for lunch try the korean cheesesteak and the wings!!!
