    The men had the lamb shank as part of the early bird special and both loved it. My husband brought a quarter home for his dinner tonight. My friend had the fried shrimp which she loved and I had the horseradish crusted Cod. I also ordered as an extra the appetizer of wedge salad which my husband and I loved. The only part of meal that was disappointing was the Brussels Sprouts. It was ordered by my friend who often cooks them at home with just olive oil and Salt and pepper. She thought that the prep of the Sprouts had a funny flavor. Otherwise I would have given a 5 star rating to the food.

    It was my second time at Fathom. The restaurant has expanded since I was there last. The waitress was wonderful. The food was okay, nothing memorable. I recommend staying away from the chocolate mousse, it definitely is nothing like a classic style. Instead of rich fluffy chocolate it was caramel pudding!
