   Had to wait a long time for meals to arrive. They were clearly not equipped ti handle today's guests and then tried to hurry us off by trying to collect our plates before we were done.

   We had a great dinner, everything was amazing. BTW outdoor is by the front door, not the converted dining in back where the bar is. Luckily they could move us inside on a busy Friday:)

   The food was excellent. However, the service was poor. Shortly after being seated, we asked for two waters with no ice. We were later presented with two ice waters. We ordered the cauliflower and date appetizer as well as wine. We were served our appetizer, which was warm, without any plates and before our wine was served. After waiting for around seven minutes, we asked that our appetizer be removed, rewarmed and reserved only when we had our wine and plates. After about 15 minutes, we received our wine and shortly after the appetizer was served again - WITHOUT PLATES. We had to once again ask for plates. Because the food was so good, I would definitely go back to Fennel. However, I now know that we need to train the servers on every detail about serving customers. It seems incredible that I need to instruct the server IN ADVANCE to please wait until we have our beverages before serving the appetizer and oh yeah - please bring plates with the appetizer.

   Risotto and the lamb came out cold. Would prefer food be extra hot and told to eat with caution. Vibes are great. Food is fresh and good quality. I think this time it must’ve sat for too long before it was sent to my table. Loved the salmon bowl and had the eggplant hummus which was interesting!

    Lunch today was outstanding. I had the salmon bowl. The salmon was perfectly cooked. The grains and vegetables were delicious. The restaurant is clean and beautifully maintained. The service by Carlos was outstanding! Carlos was friendly, attentive, warm and professional. Fennel Kitchen has become a regular in my restaurant rotation.
