    Best meal of a week-long trip. Creative, precise cooking. Professional, but not intrusive service. Music in the background, but you can talk. Surprise hit: A squash over homemade tagliatelle ragout that somehow was savory with just hints of the kaboucha squash's sweetness. Duck breast on point. Nice selection of wines by the glass. A true neighborhood gem, but it's beyond that.

    Thanks so much for this great review Jon. I hope you had a great trip.

    Excellent service — first and foremost. All of the dishes we had were very flavourful, and good portion sizes. The pear salad and squash ragu were my favourite dishes. Cocktails were spot on and wine list was concise and well priced. Can’t wait to return!

    The food was okay - not fantastic. The proteins were over cooked and not particularly warm. The side dishes were lukewarm. It was packed and quite noisy. I don’t think we will be back.

    Brunch was good, fairly standard. 20 ish bucks for benny. No comparison didn’t stand out either Hash browns could have been levelled up a bit. Given the restaurants reputation. Maybe better for dinner. My companion had the omelette it was better than the benny.

    We went for brunch and the food and service was excellent. The featured omelette was quite possibly one of the best omelettes I have had. My wife had the French toast which she enjoyed. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. If you are looking for a solid brunch spot on the weekend, this place delivers.

    I was disappointed with the overall quality of food at Fable Kitchen. We tried two dishes: the Traditional Eggs Benny and the Smash Burger. While the hollandaise sauce on the Benny was nice, the potatoes served with it were dry, over-salted, and not enjoyable. The Smash Burger, unfortunately, was a letdown as well. It was served pink, and the ground beef lacked any seasoning, making it extremely bland and tasteless. The timing of our visit also contributed to a less-than-pleasant experience. Our reservation was at 1:45pm, but we arrived just 5 minutes late, and I received a call from the restaurant asking where we were. To make matters worse, the kitchen closed at 2pm, which made the entire experience feel rushed and less enjoyable. On top of that, we were seated next to a frame that fell off the wall and almost hit me, which honestly felt like a sign that we maybe shouldn’t have eaten there in the first place. Overall, I expected more in terms of both food quality and service. Based on this visit, we won’t be returning for lunch or brunch anytime soon.

    I am sorry that the quality of the food seemed to be not to standard. The chef will be made aware of your complaints. Was the call rude? It is standard to call a late reservation to make sure they will be attending. I am sorry the experience felt rushed. How did the frame fall off the wall? Things on the wall don't just fall! I'll find out where you were sitting. I'm sorry for this bizarre experience.

    The lunch was something… Food was still good but for the price, the ingredient selection is questionable. Looking forward to trying the dinner.
    Fable KitchenResponded on February 18, 2025
    Sorry to hear that this experience was not enjoyed. The prices are in comparison, very reasonable.
