Fat Calf Brasserie

Never disappoints! This is one of my all time favorite restaurants for so many reasons! Have eaten here several times over past 5 years, the food is always delicious, fresh and presentation top notch! I have yet to order anything I wouldn’t eat again! I crave the brussel sprouts! Service is always professional and staff is genuinely so kind and attentive!

I had the bubba ganoush and it was good. I ordered the scallop dish and it took over 45 minutes for me to get the order. My wife liked it but it was too salty for my taste.

First, I have heard about this gem from a lot of my colleagues in the legal arena here in Shreveport. Me being a Haitian born man and raised in Miami, Florida all of my life where I have had the blessing of having a very diverse palette for good tasting food from different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. This food on 01/21/2026 my wife’s birthday - it was and has been an experience. Kat and Bryce were phenomenal as both servers and bartenders. The food was beyond electric and fulfilling, excuse the grammar and brevity you’re forewarn but man oh man. This is rated on today the best restaurant I have ever had appetizer all through desert and nothing disappointed our evening. The drinks were mixed well. Kat can make a great old fashioned just right! All I was missing was a fine cigar! To all of my fellow attorneys please make this restaurant a routine rotation if you have not already. The food is beyond worth the price. There’s no rating for this - 5 star is not enough!

First visit last night. Amazing cocktails, amazing focaccia appetizer, and amazing entrees. I had the Ember Carrots (an appetizer) and the Roasted Tomato Soup (a special), and they were {{chef's kiss}}. The Pecan Custard Tart was good but would be better served warm. We sat inside at the bar and really appreciated the friendly, responsive professionalism of the bartenders Connor and Cat (hope I spelled those correctly). All the staff were friendly and professional, attentive and responsive. The building and its available dining space are small. This contributes positively to the cozy ambiance, but it is also why one MUST make a reservation. This is not the kind of place that can take walk-ins. There's not enough convenient parking. Street parking is available but not exactly friendly. I recognize that's limitation of the property and the area so it's not really a criticism - more an observation. While this is not an issue for me, it is worth noting that the restaurant is not super accessible-friendly. Limited convenient parking, narrow walking spaces within the building itself, not-exactly-convenient toilet access if you choose to sit on the outside patio - not exactly wheelchair or mobility-aid friendly. That critique notwithstanding, our experience otherwise was super positive. We plan to return, and we look forward to our next visit!

I was in town for work and stumbled upon this hidden gem on Google—what a find! Everything is locally sourced and truly farm-to-table, which was evident in every bite and sip. Kat and the other bartender (whose name unfortunately escapes me) were exceptional—welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the story behind their ingredients. The food was outstanding, the service top-notch, and the atmosphere incredibly cool. Trust me, this is a spot you don’t want to miss—you’ll thank me later 😉

Went with a group of friends. Everything we ordered was very good. Nice wine and beer selection. Our waiter Max was excellent, incredibly knowledgeable with regards to many menu questions and there were a lot, my friends can be challenging to say the least. He handled it with extreme patience and a smile. Give the man a raise! You won't be disappointed eating here.

The staff was so kind and attentive. We were seated in the mosaic room, which was much better for carrying conversation than many of their other tables. The food was all amazing! We will absolutely be return customers. Fat Calf was such a great restaurant at which to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.
