    We had a really great experience at The Fat Lamb on 1/3/25. Austin was our incredible server. He checked in with us often, gave us great suggestions, and helped us coordinate more of a family style meal where we all got to share many different dishes. We had a party of 7 total and he did a really great job of taking care of us. The food was extremely flavorful - everything came out at the same time and everything was hot. Our party’s favorites were the short rib, the duck breast, the cauliflower, and the arancini. Honestly, I don’t think there’s a thing on the menu that wouldn’t be enjoyable. Our party did not have any cocktails, but they all looked delicious - a little on the pricey end, however. Overall, we will definitely be back for a visit. I highly recommend coming to The Fat Lamb.

    First visit, and we’ll definitely be back. Everything was absolutely delicious. I had the French onion soup and it was among the best I’ve had. The duck gnocchi was very good, but my husband’s steak stole the show. Even the broccolini that was served with it was deliciously seasoned. Next time we go back I’ll probably get the steak, and switch the fries for risotto. Crème brûlée was a fantastic end. We walked away full and happy! Service was top notch.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at Le Moo. Jennifer was our server and she was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. We had the lettuce wedge, ribeye (prime)-cooked to perfection, with the fried potato cakes. The food was exceptional and the turnaround time was very quick. We frequently dined at this establishment when it was the old K.T.'s, so it brought back many memories. They made awesome updates, but kept the wonderful nostalgic ambiance. I highly recommend dining at Le Moo.

    Our first time out to Seviche was a home run! From the cocktails and the spot-on assortment of wines-by-the-glass, the calamari and tuna tartare, to the fish main courses and creative desserts - everything was perfectly prepared and presented. We are a picky bunch when it comes to dining out, as we cook at home at a high level. Seviche delivered on all accounts. It was pricy for the 4 of us but worth it.
