Our waitress was attentive. She did a good job! The food was fantastic. They serve cornbread before the meal and it was like having dessert. They serve it warm with butter. I had the shrimp and halibut cheeks with polenta. Michael had the steak with crab. His meal came with a macaroni cake which was delicious. Michael’s steak was cooked perfectly and my meal was wonderful. Reasonable priced for an upscale restaurant! After our dinner we sat at the bar and had an after dinner drink!

As usual, our family meal at The Fat Lamb was delicious. The special butternut squash and sausage with béchamel was rich and tasty, and two members of our party loved the burger and truffle fries. Such a winning combination, the house cocktail is one of my favorite drinks in town. We passed on dessert, having started with the satisfying feta dip.
