Meh. Definitely don’t get the ribeye—it tasted like an unfiltered cigarette. The ceviche is great and the pasta is pretty okay. The ambiance is nice but the glassware and silverware was dirty! The waiter gave me an uncomfortable amount of eye contact and not in the attentive way that nice restaurant waiters do. Not at all worth the price.
Decent food but it felt like it was secondary to branding and atmosphere. Some small details that felt like misses. Thiiick and crunchy crostinis on apps, no starch on the protein mains, bad sear on the swordfish. I'm picking on pretty small things here about the food, but if you're gonna do the whole small menu, cool vibe, wood fired grill thing, I'm gonna be nit-picky about the details. Sever dropped a crostini on the table placing apps, food was auctioned off...
I had a great experience at Fat Hen. The waitstaff was attentive and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. I ordered the shrimp gnocchi, which was perfectly creamy and enough to fill me up without being too much. I have nothing bad to say about the gnocchi--I simply believe that it was a basic, and small, dish for the high price point of $29.
For dessert, I ordered the pistachio cake topped with grapefruit and vanilla ice cream to-go. Even as a takeout dish...
