   It took almost 15 minutes for our server to greet us once we were sat. Then another 20+ minutes before I had to ask the busser for our server so we could place our order. From the time we sat to when we got our food was over an hour an 10 minute. Food was great but servers needs some work. Also we were sat inside and when we stood up to leave there were only 5 tables that had people at them. So I’m still wondering why it took so long for our server.

   Fabians is the go to spot in Fair Oaks for enjoyable service and food. All the service personel are excellently trained for your needs and meals. Kudos for your establishment.

   Food came out cold. Avocado toast was not toasted. The side salad was better than the main item. Side of fruit was mushy, like it had been frozen and thawed. Service was extremely slow. We had to ask for basic items like salt, pepper and coffee refills. We used to love this restaurant- we will not be going back after this experience.

   Becky was our waitress and she was fabulous! Food was delicious and the butterscotch pudding was chef’s kiss! My favorite Italian spot in Sacramento!

   Fabian's is a neighborhood restaurant. We went when it first opened and the food, ambiance and service was on point. As the years have gone by, so has the quality of the food. It was unpleasant to look at. Tasted bland and was very cold, considering the place had only 8-10 guests. I was sorely disappointed since I wanted to come back to an Italian restaurant. But I will not return. I was very disappointed.

   WOW, what a surprise. Food was delicious and the service was attentive, friendly without being intrusive. We did Easter Brunch can’t wait to go back and try them for dinner. What a find!

   Easter brunch outside was lovely. Relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. Chocolate Nemesis was a rich dessert to top off the afternoon.
