FYI, this is an underwhelming 3 star review... While I didn't love it, I didn't hate it either. And maybe this Fat Cat actually deserves 2 stars but hey, I'm in a generous mood today!
Everything was okay... I guess. Ambiance unmemorable, but not bad. Service was subpar, but not spectacular. Menu is esthetically pleasing. The food itself was okay...
There's definitely a few things that stick out in my mind worth mentioning since they do stick out... Ha!
1) They have oysters! But only 1 kind and I can't remember which exactly, but on that evening, we needed to satisfy our oyster craving (and use the groupon which was expiring soon). And it did get the job done.
2) A pleasant surprise was the touch of truffle oil on the mushrooms in the antipasto platter. Nice one Fat Cat!
3) A needs improvement goes to the mushroom bruschetta. This appy has potential, but was indeed missing something that my table felt the need to have a full-blown conversation about it. Umm why not add truffle oil? Fat Cat, you already have truffle oil on the mushrooms in the antipasto so why not on an appetizer where mushrooms is the starring ingredient? Or perhaps slivers of parmesan cheese instead of a skinny grate?
All-in-all, it was aaaiiight. Doubt I'll be back. The groupon got us in here but it's the restaurant's responsibility to get us to return...
