    Fable never disappoints. The food is creative, high quality and tasty! The service was at the same high level as the food. We usually go for dinner but had a nice treat trying brunch. So good!!

    The food was very yummy! I had grilled salmon with fries and grilled broccolini. It was scrumptious! For desert, I had pear crumble with vanilla ice cream which was also delicious! We sat in the patio garden which was very beautiful and cozy! This is a very nice venue!!!!

    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.
