| - It saddens to me to write this review. I have been raving about this place ever since I went here with friends last fall. It's eclectic and there are usually plenty of vegetarian items on the menu. However, at this last visit, the food and service fell short. I will say that my husband enjoyed his bouillabaisse, and my butter lettuce salad was sweet with just the right amount of tangyiness from the raspberry vinaigrette.
But - our waitress did not know the menu well. I don't expect you to know each and every single menu item. But I hate it when they say "I think it has this..." rather than going back to check. I ordered the summer risotto - what a mistake! It was runny, overcooked, and had more vegetable scraps than expected. So when I informed the waitress that it was not done well, she asked if I wanted to take it home....
Umm, no, I didn't like it all! She got the point and then gave me back my menu. I then ordered the cheese plate, which was very tasty. Another waitress was assisting us at that point and she knew her stuff.
And lastly, why did we only get one slice of bread to enjoy the delicious olive tapenade and the table next to us had a whole basket?
This might sound nit-picky, but I was really looking forward to my dinner at Fat Cats and was just disappointed. I didn't even want to check out the dessert menu.
I will return once this experience fades from my mind, but next time, I need you to bring your A-game Fat Cats!
