    Fabrik is an intimate venue w/ a pleasing ambiance and delightful staff that provides a unique prix fixe dining experience in gourmet vegan cuisine that is certainly unique to Austin and based on our experience, most other cities throughout the US. The food and dinner service is outstanding and we were amazed by what the chefs and kitchen were able to produce and serve using solely vegan ingredients. Having said that, if you're a carnivore w/ limited exposure to vegetarian or vegan cooking, you may still leave wanting for your usual portion of animal protein or fat, but you certainly won't be disappointed in the breadth, quality and production of this completely amazing kitchen and staff!

    I like this place and staff was great too, but my steak and frites came out both cold, barely warm. It was still tasty though but not what I expected for the cost. I really didn’t have time to send it back just pushed through cold meat and frites lol

    As usual the meal was phenomenal from start to finish. The drinks were on point, and the food was top notch. As someone who has traveled to Japan on 4-5 different occasions, this meal is as good as it gets.
