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!

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!

Very tasty food and delicious cocktails. Atmosphere was very nice and this is a pleasant place for a brunch. The service was exceptional and had a cadence down to a science. Steak Frites was a little overwhelming but overall fantastic. Wings also very tasty (photo attached)

Beautiful food, cocktails and service at this hidden gem. Wish the bar had seats. We just prefer to sit there. One suggestion to the restaurant the banquet seats are like a rollercoaster ride they need to be secured or something as I could feel every motion of the gentleman sitting nxt to us we had to move mid meal and appreciate the accommodation.

Loved this place! Great food and service. We had the deviled eggs, chicken paillard, steak frites, Turkish coffee, and tiramisu. Everything was good. On the negative, this is a pretty pricey restaurant ($50+ per person)

Inspiring food! It was deliciously filled with flavor. Tasty drinks, rich wine selection, and great cuisine. Nice and romantic music that compliments the classic look of the dining room. The high ceilings, impressive indoor palm trees, and unique decor allow a sophisticated ambiance to come through. Friendly and caring staff, the service all over was great. We did feel appreciated, my friends and I have something to remember! I'd give it six stars if I could. We'll definitely come back for more good quality time. Merci beaucoup et Bravo!

I’m countering my boyfriends 2 star review of this spot with a 4 star review 😆. I had a great time at Le Fat Poodle! I think the vibe is really fun and upbeat with all the pumped up birthday songs. It has a better energy than most restaurants in town. I thought the food was pretty good too. We had a bunch of shared apps and I got steak frites which were delicious.

Modern French RestaurantBistro. 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.

I really like this place but my kids didn't. They think they portions were too small. I liked my steak frites, but Trin thought his scallops were just OK. Tara's pasta was just angel hair w tomato sauce. But this place had ambience. I will go back w my wife to try other stuffs. Oh, Thursday is 1/2 price wine by the bottle!

I will give 2 1/2 stars. A bit disappointed, I like their other restaurant, Le Penguin Bistro more. I was excited to escargots but they were really bad, worse than store bought frozen ones. Nothing excited about the main course either. The staffs were busy, the service was not attentive.The time we were there, there were at least 5-6 birthday tables, the staffs sang loudly and made a lot of noise. At the beginning, it was fun, but after so many tables, became a bit annoying.

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.

Nice choice in Old Greenwich. We were both happy with our food choices - ceviche, marrow, caesar salad and fish tacos.The outdoor seating is great given the current COVID environment.

Great place to get dinner with family or friends. Though the restaurant is very dark, not a bad thing just has really low light which can make it hard to read menus.The food is delicious and well balanced.

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!!!!Vegetarian options: Unlike so many French restaurants, a vegetarian is in heaven at Le Fat Poodle! Tons of options from the shared plates to appetizers, to the entrees and even the sides! You certainly will be quite full after visiting this incredible restaurant (trust me… I needed to go for a mile walk from how much I enjoyed!)

Food is pretty good, but service was horrible. They never brought one of our dishes despite asking 3 times and left in on the check. My mom has celiac, and they brought her a dish with gluten on it, and then when we sent it back, there were still crumbs on there. She would've gotten very sick.Dietary restrictions: Very bad at handling gluten-free request

The place is a must if you live in Greenwich, the food is fantastic.The wait staff is one of its crowing achievements. I don’t know what they put in the water there, but it works.Never left this place disappointed.Also, try the Chicken Palliard

Although the food was good, the service left a lot to be desired. The waiter dissappeared after we paid our bill. Waters were empty and not a soul around to ask for a drink. Overall the place has lost something. Tired and lack of fun energy like it had in the past.

Probably the most vegetarian friendly place we went to in Greenwich. Well made cocktails & apps were very good (Nachos & the eggplant). The lackluster service left plenty to be desired. Ordered the Portobello Tacos and it was just a pile of mush on a tortilla. Dish needs some serious work, couldn’t eat more than a couple bites. Server never came back to ask us how our food was. My wife enjoyed her mushroom ravioli.

Good food, great service. I would suggest a little more attention needs to be focused on the complete dish as some parts were fantastic and others were poorly executed. Menu had typical upscale bistro fare with some good fish options. Prices were high but acceptable. Looking forward to going back when the chef is in the kitchen.

Like the last time here, the kitchen team just shines with incredibly delicious food that's inventive! Plus, the kitchen's Spanish influence adds authentic dishes to the expected menu of French bistro fare. What's not to love about lunch, dinner or brunch with outdoor dining options too?! Highly recommend you make a reservation 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.

Three stars would have been five except for an obnoxious and self-absorbed maitre d who unnecessarily rushed us out of our table while other (admittedly less well-placed) tables sat empty. Food, cocktails and service were excellent, but we will not be back due to this treatment.

Great place! We went to dinner following the Polo March at Greenwich Polo Club. We arrived around 530PM and only a few people were there. Within 30-45 minutes the place was packed. Great at atmosphere and amazing food! Highly recommend!
