   Went for brunch. It was okay. Had the ham Benny but had way too much mayonnaise on it, along with a very rich thick hollandaise that was good but again just too much. Would have been nice to have some fruit or greens on the plate other than just some very average hash browns. For the price would say was just nothing special. Our server was very young and pleasant but seemed very inexperienced and did make a mistake on the initial order so we ended having our plates arrive at different times. Also it was super dark in there which is maybe nice for an evening but was for brunch was kind of strange.

   Had a wonderful time on our first visit. Service was excellent. Staff was friendly and exceptionally helpful to our teenage daughters. Food was excellent! We had ling cod, gnocchi, and duck breast. Tried them all. So good!

   My buddy wanted to try out Fable Kitchen and I obliged. Fabulous experience. We decided on the Chef's Menu and every dish from the appetizers to the main courses were tasty. Our awesome server, Blair recommended some great wine to pair with the meal. She was an expert on wine. You could see that she loved wine. Highly recommended!

   Great service….. food was good but not great….a tad under seasoned for my taste and the very cold ricotta with the warm gnocchi a strange combo. Their Jameson sour…. A whimsical play on a whiskey sour made to look like an impish pint of Guinness ( it was St Patrick’s day) was fun but the activated charcoal used to create the aforementioned effect left a rather unwelcoming grittiness to ones pallet

   Fable is a wonderful restaurant to experience. It’s busy and fairly noisy but the food and the service make up for it. We sampled the range of options from the appetizers to the dessert. The beet tartine was excellent as were the chickpea fritters. We also enjoyed our main courses very much, both the ling cod and the octopus. To top it off the desserts were excellent. We also tried several different cocktails which were absolutely delicious, especially the Granny Smith apple and bourbon one. Overall, I’d highly recommend this restaurant for a special meal.

    Excellent food-wine list and menu succinct but hit all the right notes. Server was excellent; kitchen a tad slow getting our meals out. Recommend asking for a seat against the wall, helps absorb the sound as otherwise the room can be noisy.

    It took forever to get our order. I asked for ONE soft boiled egg and emphasized on soft. This came 10minutes after other food as ‘two cold hard poached eggs’. I returned it and asked for soft. Took another 20 minutes (75 minutes since we sat down) to get the eggs. Waiter was not familiar with the menu .

    First time at Fable in many years. We went when they first opened and it was fantastic. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. The food and service were very average. Nothing on the menu really stuck out so I landed on the salmon and my wife had the maitake dish. My salmon was pretty good but nothing spectacular. The beets were undercooked and the breading on top of the salmon was soggy. The maitake was basically tempura mushrooms in what tasted like Mr noodle broth. Both dishes severely lacked in depth of flavor and overpriced for what was served. The restaurant was also very loud and the tables were placed too close to each other, likely to try to cram more patrons in. My wife has finished her glass of wine just before the mains came but the server didn’t bother to swing by to check if she wanted another. I get that inflation etc is affecting restaurants the most(staffing, food costs, etc) but that doesn’t mean you can’t be creative with the menu. I’m sorry to say I won’t be back.

    Corn bread is sooo good. The duck breast is the best in town. My hubby had the duck meat ball and then the butchers cut steak and said it was cooked to perfection and thhe pepper jam was delicious. A lovely wine selection and great cocktails. Service is friendly yet professional. This our neighborhood gem!

    The food was great but the service was the worst we ever had. Not only did she mess up our order but my friend then ordered the French toast to go and, after waiting a long time, when we asked our server about it again, she said that my friend hadn’t ordered anything to go. When we both reiterated that she had, our server kept repeating that we hadn’t (same as insisting that she hadn’t messed up our order). I love Fable but their service standards have really gone down.

    Fable KitchenResponded on March 1, 2023Thanks for coming in Teresa. Sorry for this one person's service level. It's very unfortunate. Please note that this one experience does not represent the whole staff.

    The dine-out menu ($39) was a good deal but the food wasn't that impressive. I went with my friend who loves Fable Kitchen. According to her, the food wasn't on par with their normal menu. I would still go check them out again but not during dine-out.

    Even though I expect lower quality during dine-out, the fact this restaurant has a bib gourmand is astonishing. We normally avoid dine-out, but we’re in the area and thought we’d check it out. I hadn’t been in 8 years, but after last night I have zero desire to ever go back. We were rushed through drinks and a three course meal, we were out in under an hour. I started with a recommended cocktail which was a bourbon, apple juice cinnamon something, that tasted like a shot I would have made in someone’s basement when I was 20. The terrine was pretty hard and lacked any remarkable flavour. The crostini was so rough it scratched my throat on the way down. The best part of the starter was the lettuce. The wine pairing was their homemade wine, and tasted like a nice glass of Ubrew. My beef stiletto was over cooked, but my husband’s was fine. It had great flavour, just overdone. The braised cabbage was great, probably the best part of the entire meal. The paired merlot was good for the price point. My apple dessert was served in a mason jar like it was 2007, but probably served this way so it could be batch made and stored in a fridge for all of dine out, because it tasted like it was 2 weeks old and ice cold. The dessert cocktail was just weird, and the last thing I drank, combined with the disgusting starting cocktail I was working on until we left. The service was very rushed, but otherwise friendly. Overall really disappointing.

    Fable KitchenResponded on February 4, 2023Thanks for making it in, and sorry for the disappointments. We've gotten great reviews on some of the drinks and food mentioned. We definitely don't make our own wine! Mason jars are used, but note food is made fresh daily. Thank you for the compliment to service.

    Brunch service was subpar. Orders were forgotten and had wrong sides. Servers were able to notice the errors on their own, but recovery took a long time too. Feels like they were understaffed. Food flavours were good, but dishes didn’t have any unique factors presentation wise. Would love to see some fruit or greens to help balance the heaviness of the mains.

    I very much enjoyed the wine pairing. Delicious! Just thinking 🤔 that often the server will look to the man at the table to take order from, when these days they should be aware that some females want equal involvement in the dinner, and yes, sometimes the female is taking the man out to dinner.

    We went for the Dine Out Vancouver and needless to say, we will be back for their regular menu. I was particularly impressed by the Beef Stiletto's interesting preparation that results in a beefy flavorful bite with a slightly chewy texture. The Fable Terrine is also something I look forward to tasting again. Overall, it's a worthy trip to Kitsilano!

    Did Dine out on a Friday night. We had a reservation and got in right away. Service was great. Appetizer(Beet tartare) was very good, main (Beef Stiletto) was sinewy & orange sauce needed some flavour; potato vegetable combo was tasty . Apple parfait dessert was very good until the bottom which was way too sweet.

    Had high hopes being farm to table. Participated in the Dine Out Vancouver menu - which on paper seemed exquisite however that was not to be the case...Asked specifically to have the meals spaced out as I am only able to eat in small portions at a time. Food was rushed out and cold. Tables are very close to each other - it almost feels like you are sitting at someone else's table. If they have large bookings they should take less reservations to not take away from the restaurant itself. Very disappointing experience.
