Our party of 3 decided to try the Fat Canary as an alternative to dining in colonial Williamsburg. The restaurant is associated with the Cheese Shop next door. The food was good, but we thought the service was a bit uppity for the casual style of the restaurant. By casual, I do not mean blue jeans, shorts, or t-shirt type... more

We have been to the Fat Canary multiple times and have always had a good experience. The food and service are excellent. Reservations are sometimes difficult to get, so at the last minute, don't be afraid to ask for a seat at the bar and eat there - full menu is offered and the bartenders will give you excellent service. more

The Fat Canary is nice but a little expensive as well as overated. The food was good with ample portions as was the service. The seating is a little tight and the atmosphere is a little noisey. Overall a nice dining experience but not great. more

My friends and I purchased food from the Cheese Shop (which is connected and owned by the same people). It was raining, so many customers were struggling to find places to eat indoors.

I was told that "My Business was not desired at the Fat Canary" by Mary Ellen. We were at the bar and her dad has us moved because the $400.00's our combined party had spent was not enough. She did not like the fact that we informed her we did not understand why we were moved. she then asked us... more

My husband & I dined at the Fat Canary during the summer. We sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks which were perfect, kudos to the bartenders. We were greeted by a very pleasant waiter, I think his name was Jason, who was extremely knowledgeable both with the menu and preparation. Great service, great food and great... more

We went on a Saturday night and had to wait quite a while for our booked table. The restaurant is crowded and noisy but has a great atmosphere. The service was quite slow but our server was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. The wine list is very comprehensive and the wine we chose was excellent. Best of all was the... more
