The Fat Radish

Used a TravelZoo voucher for this restaurant last night and was blown away. The food was as good as it gets. The Kale Caesar, Peekey Toe Crab Gratin, Heritage Pork Chop and the lamb (night's special) was as good as it gets. Service was excellent and the ambiance is funky. Only caveat is the bench seating doesn't work if you have a bad back - ask for a wall seat. Definitely will return (with or without a voucher). A bit pricey without a voucher but worth it!

Loved the decor w/beautiful flowers! Everything we tried on the menu was great (celery root pot pie, chickpea hummus, steamed cabbages). Presentation excellent and the fat radishes they bring to the table were fresh and delicious. The server was helpful and answered many questions. Cool place!

Waited for 2 hrs for a table. hostess gave us a weird attitude even when the place was half empty. placed guests who arrived after us at tables and told me to 'step back i am busy' when i asked her how long she wants to keep us waiting for our table. extremly disappointing experience.

Atmosphere and decor is brilliant. The amazingly sweet and attentive hostess (I think her name was DJ) was able to miraculously squeeze 3 of us in sans reservations on a Friday night. We drank at the bar for about 2 hours but definitely would NOT have waited that long if the hostess wasn't so friendly, kind and sincerely attentive. The rest of the staff, on the other hand, seemed a bit bland and apathetic personality-wise, but service was timely and professional nonetheless. The kale caesar salad was subtle and tasty and the bacon cheeseburger (I love how it's listed on the menu AS a BACON CHEESEburger!) was juicy and pretty darn delicious. The fries were a little heavy and boring steak-fry-ish and the monkfish a little salty (and I like salt). We didn't do dessert so I can't speak for the celery root pie everyone is raving about. The prices are reasonable, the food's decent and it's a cute spot. I'd definitely go back to try some other things on the menu - especially the grilled cheese and pickles and the scotch egg. Guilty pleasures much!?

My friend treated me to a lovely birthday dinner last night, and I'm so happy that I chose The Fat Radish. We didn't have a res but the hostess was accomadating but lacked personality and warmth. However, our server was on point and the best highlight of the night was of course the food. I ordered the monkfish vindalooh with wild rice and I died and went to heaven. Every bite was savory and cooked to perfection. I loved the ambiance of the dining room and clearly everyone was having a great time. Stay away from the cocktails (the lemonade was tooo weak to be considered one) and just stick to wine or beer. I can't wait to go back and try brunch. This is definitely my new go to spot downtown.

I have to say I really loved this place. It was crowded and we didn't have a reservation. No attitude, they found us a table. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great glass of wine, great celery root pot pie! Can't wait to go back.

Great ambience, great food, great service. Our server was super attentive and noticed small things right away, like the table being wobbly and the candle burning out, which really weren't even that bothersome enough for us to say anything, but he gets extra points for noticing and fixing without us having to! The food was excellent. We had the duck terrine, razor clams with english peas, the heritage pork, and chocolate cake w/ creme fraiche for dessert. The cake was not too sweet and didn't feel so indulgent, which was nice. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Healthy, clean, tasty food.
