Phat Cats Bistro

BJ Hickson

We went for the first time this summer. Food was excellent, drinks were outstanding. My husband has allergies to gluten and dairy and they were VERY accommodating! Which is a big plus!!! We were offered bread and I accepted but my husband can not eat it. They said no problem we have veggies and hummus if you would like that. Perfect! We both liked out dinners. My husband had a small reaction to the tortilla chips but decided to try it again. We went the next night and he had a different meal and he did not have any reaction. We enjoyed the cocktails very much along with our meals and I even had dessert the second night and we both had espresso. We will certainly go back there again. Reservations recommended. Small place but really nice staff and very helpful.

5 Star Food and 5 Star Service is what this awesome local restaurant is about! Yes, it is off the beaten path, however what an impressive showcase of mouthwatering plates and big time Cocktails that make this place a go to! Whether you are a nearby local or just driving through Interstate 495 you must checkout this place! Not kidding when they say please make reservations as this place is always packed! For our first experience we took a leap of faith and ventured in with no reservations! WE GOT LUCKY and so glad we did as we waited a short time, sipped on some craft cocktails in a small bar area in the back of the restaurant which faces the kitchen. We were super pleased with the array of apps available and the options of the specials of the night! We went GAGA with the Blue Cheese scrumptious app and the Lobster Ragoons! The dessert is made in house so make sure you leave space for the DELICIOUS carrot cake with a side of house made ice-cream! We cannot wait to get back!!

This place is a local legend and for damn good reason. They cook with local ingredients to perfection. They bring in cheese and crackers from all over New England and have the story behind each selection. Their deserts are to dye for. We go to Phat Cats a lot and we have always come away better then we came in. The atmosphere is a wonderful way to spend a Friday/Saturday night. If i could give then ten stars I would.

While it's located a bit outside of the main downtown district, this spot is well worth a visit. It's a small eatery with great ambience. You will find dishes to satisfy both vegetarians and omnivores. In fact, you can add tofu to a few of the dishes. If you have the opportunity, try the savory corn creme brulee- outstanding! The desserts are all homemade and look excellent. For an appetizer, give the baked blues a try. It's a warm, baked spread of blue cheese, bacon and scallions served with toasted bread and crackers. And the homemade bread you get at the start of the meal is out of this world!
