    I like Fable. I’ve been there a handful of times but this time I didn’t enjoy it quite as much. There weren’t the adequate amount of servers, leaving ours way too busy to give good service. The food came out cold. We ate it as the flavors were good and we were hungry but food being at least warm is a basic element desired. Also, the almost $90 for two brunch dishes and two coffees was a bit too much.

    Food was horrible, and the table was pushed too close to the fence line, making it an unenjoyable experience. Service was poor as the waitress forgot about our food to the point that the kitchen staff ended up bringing it out.

    Cozy, welcoming atmosphere with friendly and prompt service. Limited dinner menu and only beer/wine, but food was well-prepared and served hot. Server misunderstood my beer order but cheerily and quickly replaced it. Host (don’t remember her name, but she’s from Romania) was absolutely delightful, as was our server, Curt. Can’t wait to return!

    Fable gets another A+ from me and 3 of my friends. I had the steak and the other folks had the chicken and my partner and anther friend had the lasagne with white sauce and truffles which. was excellent. The tartare was great as an appetizer. Alejandra was a great server.. smart, funny and good. I love the outdoorness of the environment ....Stable table and pads in the seats A gem of a Restarant.

    I always enjoy eating at Fabel. The back patio is a nice sheltered outdoor space. The wait staff is friendly and it’s a great place to get together with friends.
