    Hadn’t been to Fable in a while, and never before for dinner, My companion had a delicious mac & cheese, and I had ahi tuna, which was prepared perfectly with sides (coleslaw & asian pear) that complemented it well. Service was friendly and responsive, and food came promptly but we never felt rushed. I look forward to dining at Fable again.

    This is the second time visiting Fable and both times have been good. The small tables directly next to the “Forest” are a little close together. When I was seated, already pretty close to my table, another diner got frustrated with the space available for their chair at the table behind me. When I tried to get up to leave; it was pretty tight with not much space. Food was delicious and cocktails are good during brunch. Have not been for dinner.

    We haven't eaten here in quite a while. The food was surprisingly very good, and a good value. The outside patio never looked so good..

    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!
