Fom TimeOut NY: Walk down Graham Avenue between Frost and Withers Streets and you'll see a predominately residential Italian neighborhood. Located far from the Bedford Avenue crowds, this East Williamsburg spot—in one of the borough's quiet, not-so-hip areas—is home to this terrific new pint-sized French bistro. The space is filled with antique-looking exposed-filament bulbs (replicas of the first model created by Con Edison); wood, slate and concrete walls; and cherry-maple wood tables. The owners, both French expats, have stocked the menu with bistro classics: An appetizer of steamed mussels is served in a terra-cotta crock with an addictive buttery and garlicky white-wine-and-shallot sauce (best sopped up with pieces of chewy baguette). Among the entrées, the roasted chicken with mushrooms fricassee and spinach (pictured) was most notable for its delightfully tender and juicy meat and for the way the chef—a French-trained Japanese man named Hiro Kiriyama—cooked the skin to a perfect crisp (the secret: the bird is marinated in lime juice before cooking). The terra-cotta crock pops up again in the monkfish Provençal, which is served, like the mussels, in a hearty, savory and warming stew—this time filled with large pieces of flaky fish, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, garlic and parsley, and topped with buttered crostini. Kiriyama prepares the desserts, too, and his gooey, raisin-and-pine-nut-studded apple strudel with fig ice cream arrived warm and tasted freshly baked. The place does not have its liquor license yet, but there is a liquor store just up the street. If they don't stock good French wines, they'd be wise to do so soon.—TONY

You guys rocked our new Year Eve. No reservation but you managed to get us a table after a short wait at the bar, perfect menu and cute service. Thanks and happy 2008 to Fanny!

Love to push my salad with the fried artichokes, love to deep the fries in the garlic mayo,the fig ice cream, love you Fanny

Not kids friendly.
Actually its just not the right place to take kids but where it is. Went there for brunch, the place is kind of small and I noticed others strollers that were definitely in the staff way, they tried to make jokes and worked around but were clearly not happy. We just moved in the neighborhood so I thought it was another Williamsburg attitude place but overall I had a good time and they were nice. The food was good and will for sure be back for a nice evening with my husband when we finally found a babysitter.

Whoever made a bad comment about this place must have been out of their minds. Fanny offers superb food and ambiance at very reasonable prices. We had the pork chop and the braised lamb (special of the day). The meat just melted in our mouths. The carte du vin is compact but has safe options. The Lavender manger with vanilla ice-cream is a white piece of heaven. It's definetely a better deal and less annoying hip crowd than places like The Diner (and we do love the food there) and Dumont. The music is not intrusive and very well picked. Don't miss it.

Worst birthday experience ever!
We were only 6 in our party and when I called to find out whether they served wine, they succinctly said NO and prompted me to bring my own with a $10 corking fee.
Not only did they charge us 10 for each bottle we consumed, but they also brought out a dessert we never ordered (for the birthday girl) AND charged us for that!! The nerve.
The highlight was when I found a spit-out olive pit in our bredk basket for which the rude waitress barely apologized! Food was entirely average, service atrocious but boy do they make you pay....for everything!!!! Why even bother going this far when we have the classic cant-fail-us places.

One of the more relaxed enjoyable eateries in w-burg. Everything I have tried here was very good and now they have some fantastic wines too. Much better value than diner or du-mont and alot less of the annoying crowd that frequents those places. You know who!

I didn't even think I liked pate until i ate here. Yum!!

worst service ever. went twice for brunch. food was fine, but waiting literally an hour for your check is not. the place was practically empty!

Been hanging there for a while, pork chop is my favorite and no more BYOB, congrats, nice Dekoninck on tap. Good job guys.

Went to Fanny last night with some friends and loved it. Don’t expect traditional French food, no regular Manhattan onion soup here or “want to be cool” over pricy like Bedford avenue but good, simple and well-made food. I loved the grilled calamari and can’t wait to go back and check out their brunch.

Fanny is my new spot. I’ve been in this neighborhood for years and just love this new restaurant. They did a great job with the renovation, it’s simple but elegant, not pretentious, casual and comfortable. No delivery but they do take out: juicy burger right off the subway, it’s great. The menu is small but not boring, mostly French with a Spanish touch and they have great specials without killing your wallet. Friendly staff. BYOB for now, sad for them, good for us. Go check it out, it’s a real plus on the block.

Overall pretty good. I wouldn't travel far to go here, it's nothing spectacular, but for the neighborhood it's nice and you can get a good steak frites for a lot less than Dumont (plus, BYOB is always nice). The dressing on their mixed green salad needs a little attention - it tastes something like salty oil with mustard. The dessert menu is pretty disappointing. They only have swiss cheese for their burgers - cmon guys, no cheddar or blue? - a shame, they look tasty.
