We had a really great experience at The Fat Lamb on 1/3/25. Austin was our incredible server. He checked in with us often, gave us great suggestions, and helped us coordinate more of a family style meal where we all got to share many different dishes. We had a party of 7 total and he did a really great job of taking care of us. The food was extremely flavorful - everything came out at the same time and everything was hot. Our party’s favorites were the short rib, the duck breast, the cauliflower, and the arancini. Honestly, I don’t think there’s a thing on the menu that wouldn’t be enjoyable. Our party did not have any cocktails, but they all looked delicious - a little on the pricey end, however. Overall, we will definitely be back for a visit. I highly recommend coming to The Fat Lamb.

Our first time out to Seviche was a home run! From the cocktails and the spot-on assortment of wines-by-the-glass, the calamari and tuna tartare, to the fish main courses and creative desserts - everything was perfectly prepared and presented. We are a picky bunch when it comes to dining out, as we cook at home at a high level. Seviche delivered on all accounts. It was pricy for the 4 of us but worth it.
