" Went to Fat Ox for my birthday and the experience was nothing short of amazing! The service was impeccable from the moment we walked in. Our server offered great wine pairings with our meal. I had the duck sausage pasta which was incredibly rich and flavorful. The tiramisu for dessert was the cherry on top. Atmosphere is lively yet intimate, perfect for special occasions. Highly recommend trying their seasonal specials as they are exquisite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fat Ox really impressed me during my visit. The decor was beautiful and created a great vibe for our dinner. The service was attentive, and our server had great recommendations. I ordered the short ribs and they were meltingly tender. My only complaint would be that the portions were slightly small for the price, especially the appetizers. Still, I would gladly return for another try, as the flavors were exquisite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fat Ox has a beautiful setting and the menu is robust. My family visited for a special occasion and we tried a bit of everything. The appetizer platter was excellent, and the pastas were equally good. However, some of the portions felt small compared to the price. Overall, it was a nice evening and we would return, but I'd manage my expectations regarding portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fat Ox is a beautiful restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. My partner and I visited for a date night and we were blown away by the service. The staff were friendly and highly knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the daily special and was very pleased—it was fresh and flavorful! I can't say enough about how great this place is. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about my meal at Fat Ox. The ambiance was upscale and inviting, but I found the food to be a hit or miss. The burrata appetizer was delightful, but my pasta dish was way too salty for my taste. However, the dessert, a chocolate mousse, was phenomenal! Service was friendly, but they seemed rushed during the peak hours. I’d give it another shot, but I'd be cautious about my meal choices next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was underwhelmed by my previous visit to Fat Ox. The food was not as spectacular as I had anticipated. While the ambiance was nice and the service good, my main dish was bland and uninspired. The pasta seemed really basic, lacking those rich flavors I expected from an Italian restaurant. Maybe it was just my choice, but I wouldn't recommend going if you're looking for something truly special. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my visit to Fat Ox, but it fell short of expectations. While the ambiance was lovely and our server was friendly, the food did not match the hype. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe, which I usually love, but it was overly salty and not enjoyable. The cocktails were good, but I left feeling disappointed in my meal overall. Perhaps I caught them on an off night. " (*Curated Review*)
