    Food was meh and service was crazy slow. Felt like our waiter kept forgetting we existed even though we were at the front of the restaurant. Really great vibe but probably will not be back.

    Food was on par with very nice covered courtyard dining area. Tasty dishes made with quality, fresh ingredients. Menu was varied enough to cover our group’s dietary restrictions and open air dining made it possible for the immuno-compromised to dine out unmasked. Not an easy combination to find!

    I’ve been going to Fable for years. The location works well and fits the neighborhood. Today I called to book the patio and the person who answered the phone to take my booking couldn’t have been more rude & unprofessional. Truly, the lack of hospitality caught me off guard. I asked whether the patio is heated and how warm or cold it tends to feel around 7:30pm. He replied with sarcasm, saying he had no way to predict the future and therefore no idea what conditions would be like. Since he did not answer the heating question, I asked again. He repeated the same response about not predicting the future instead of giving a straight answer. I called back and canceled the reservation. Feedback for Fable management. Staff handling phone reservations need patience and basic hospitality training. Guests asking straightforward questions deserve clear, respectful responses.

    Fable’s biggest draw is definitely the backyard garden dining area — it’s spacious, charming, and a great setting for catching up with friends. That part lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite match the atmosphere. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and specifically asked the waiter whether it was chicken thigh or breast. He told me it was dark meat, but it was very clearly chicken breast, and on the dry side. I’ve had solid chicken breast sandwiches before, but this one missed the mark texture-wise. It was seasoned fairly well, but I strongly prefer fried chicken sandwiches made with thigh, so this was disappointing — especially after asking directly. I didn’t make a point to call it out at the table, but it’s a pet peeve when staff confidently give incorrect info. Beyond preference, accuracy matters, especially for dietary or allergy reasons. The breakfast potatoes on the side were just okay — slightly undercooked and not crispy enough for my liking. My friends both ordered the double cheeseburger and described it as “fine” but nothing memorable. The patties were on the smaller side and noticeably smaller than the bun, which is always a miss in my book. Overall, Fable is a decent option if you’re looking for a pleasant, inviting space to hang out and talk, but I wouldn’t come back specifically for the food. Good vibe, average execution.
