| - My main reason behind giving this place 2 stars is because the prices were sky rocket high for a tiny tapa size portions of food. My husband and I went to this restaurant recently to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, and mind you, we love wine and italian food. We have traveled all of Italy multiple times, and we were so excited to try Fat OX.
The service was absolutely bar none. We were seated in a bright area of the restaurant, and when we went, it was not busy at all. There was maybe 3 other dinner parties in the place, so we cannot speak to the place being loud. It was actually a nice atmosphere. The waitress placed my purse on a napkin on the floor, and was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.
We decided to order an appetizer a pasta and a fish. While the food was excellently prepared and tasted well, we left so hungry. The wine was over priced for what it was (greater than $15 a glass). We left with a bill over $200 for the two of us.
They need to give you better portion sizes. Even in all of Europe, where portion sizes are smaller than USA, you get more stuff for your money... We likely will not return. For $200 price, we suggest you drive up to Sassi for a sunset view, gorgeous place, amazing food, and great sizes. If we were to compare a restaurant on a busy street in a strip mall to Sassi in North Scottsdale, we would tell you to go to Sassi.
This place has great potential. But they are a little overboard w pricing and not enough food to equal out the pricing. Wonderful staff, delicious food, mediocre wine.
