    We went here a few weeks ago and the service and food were great. This time however, we had a waiter who was never around and it was rude. The food was okay this time around too. Not as good as two weeks ago. Disappointed.

    Been wanting to try Fennel for a while and I’m glad we did. We all enjoyed our lunch and brunch dishes and plan on coming back for dinner. The portions were generous and I love the menu-lots to try! We sat outside so I really can’t speak to the noise level, but I have to compliment our server Claudia because she was wonderful. So nice, and went over all the most popular dishes with us which was helpful. All in all, we really enjoyed it and plan on coming back soon.

    Had a lunch with a group of 6 of us, and we had the perfect table that we could hear each other (sometimes it gets loud there) The server was very accommodating as we needed separate checks as we all needed to leave at different times Food was healthy and yummy!

    The lamb chops with barley risotto, salmon bowl, and mojito mocktail were all excellent. The menu is so extensive that I had to ask our server Claudia for recommendations - it was impossible to choose! Claudia gave excellent service. It was our first time at Fennel. We'll return!
