                                The mushrooms with pork belly was delicious. The duck was good, but nothing special--just so-so. The cod was pretty bland and the sauce tasted as if was store-bought.

                                While we enjoyed the evening overall we were a bit underwhelmed with the food, the pickled beet salad had no dressing and was rather dry & uninspired, the duck was a very small breast for the price, the gnocchi was tasty though. Nice ambience & good service but was expecting more & won't be rushing back.

                                The server really made the evening, with knowledgable advice and enthusiastic engagement. The gnocchi with pork was outstanding, and we really enjoyed the beet salad. We were quite surprised by the Blue Mountain chardonnay, with its lightly-oaked balance of mineral and fruit.

                                Great experience at Fable! The duck breast was very tasty, however, for the price, it would have been better if it came with sides and not just the breast and some sauce. My fiance has the chicken cutlet and it tasted very good.

                                For a Michelin place, our bars were raised and yet this was no better than the worse fast food chain restaurant I've been to. From the Tropicana juice to the mountain of mayo on top of the cold eggs to the cold fries, and cold English muffin it was all simply disappointing.
