Fable - SF

The outdoor patio in the back has an amazing ambiance. While the restaurant doesn’t offer traditional cocktails and craft beers, they offer an amazing selection of wines, which are fairly priced per bottle.

The menu has a limited selection of food, so I recommend reviewing beforehand. Nonetheless, the restaurant is a great spot for a date or friends get together.

The outdoor patio is beautiful! I went for dinner and the ambiance and service was great. Tables were also distanced far enough from each other so I felt safe (due to covid). Food was also amazing, will be back!

Very busy- but very delicious. Professional staff who were friendly and handled the bustling of the night very well! Next time I want to be more specific about the table I get!

First time at Fable and it was fantastic! Server was attentive, helpful and personable. Food was great and the atmosphere on the patio is wonderful!

Food was great... nice to be on the patio!

Service was excellent and loved the ambiance!

Great food. Friendly staff. COVID-19 safe.

Service was great, staff very friendly. Wonderful atmosphere! I’ll always come back!

We had a lovely time at Fable-- It is the most pleasant garden setting with a very welcoming vibe; loved it!!

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant. The chef is first rate; everything we have ordered here has been delicious.

The staff was super accommodating and the food was delicious! Great ambience on a cozy outdoor patio and the tables were definitely farther than six feet apart so we felt safe and comfortable.

Very nice backyard with all the plants, and very nice food.

They over booked the dining room and at the time of check in for my reservation the host told me I needed to be done by 130. If a one hour reservation was stated when I make the reservation I would of went with another place. After I asked her if we would be seated without a time limit she scoffed and said it was “ok I guess”. During the time of our lunch the waiter came over multiple times asking if we were done clearly trying to hurry us along. Then at exactly 130 came to the table and told us we had to leave because another reservation was there to sit at our table. Do not recommend coming here at all.

The patoi is so inviting with all its plants and garden

This is a lovely place to have an afternoon lunch with friend. However, they are limited to beer and wine only if you need something with a little more punch. Yet, the food was filling, but something was a bit off in the kitchen on the day we went. The cook(s) forgot to add the avocados on both my colleagues dishes. We thought they may have run out but that was not the case. They just forgot. Plus, our server was a bit slow but polite. Overall, it's a nice place to chill, and have a salad if you need a break from being at your computer all day.

100 % lasagna recommended!!!! Soooo good !!! The server Sarah super nice girl ..

Excellent value, wine dessert, you must try the chicken.

Great restaurant, lovely outdoor seating. It was our first visit.

Our first foray out to dine during the pandemic of ‘20-‘21.
Our anniversary of sorts and I really didn’t want to have to cook twice. Fable had an opening midday so we could spend the morning in the Golden Gate Botanical Garden.

The host sat us just after 12:30 in the garden and explained covid procedures to us. Our server was quick to the table and friendly and efficient.

I had the Bloody Mary (just the right spice level) he had the special mimosa (delightful). Brunch was the omelet special and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were amazing. Service was quick and through.

Definitely will be back, we felt safe and distanced but really enjoyed our experience. God I have missed seeing other people.

Went with two friends for brunch. Seated outside on the patio. Table was set far back and somewhat private.
We had ordered the “special mimosa” which was blood orange. The server dropped it at our table and it was regular OJ. He caught the mistake and came back with some red syrup and added it. I’m sorry... if I want blood orange, I want the real thing!

Amazing place!

Went on a dinner date here. Food was amazing. Very tasty! I got their seafood daily specials. The outdoor patio with low lighting via string lights, luscious plants, and water sound is perfect for the occasion. Only thing I am a bit concerned is that the space is small and tables are a bit packed (they are not really 6 feet apart).

I have now been to Fable 2 times in the last 3 weeks. It is not only a wonderful restaurant with great food but is built for COVID-19 safe dining.

It is a restaurant that was seemingly built for outdoor dining way before COVID. As a result, you actually feel like you are having a great night out and not feel like you are sitting in some plywood enclosure on the side of the road but a proper fine dining experience.

The garden is marvelous it gives a relaxation sensation for the dinner, even tough outside I felt comfortable and warm with the heater close to us.
I'd ordered the vegan lasagna that was DELICIOUS!!!

Great setting with quality prepped brunch items. The staff was outstanding and we were given the exact type of table I’ve requested. Speedy service with a smile.

Amazing experience! We sat in the back patio, which was beautiful. They had great COVID precautions, I felt safe. They had heat lamps all around, which was much appreciated. The ambiance was fun and lively, but not loud. Service was so, so great. Will definitely be back!

Incredible ambience, especially now given the current circumstances. The food was amazing, service was on point, I think one of the best patios in San Francisco. Can’t wait to go back!

All around awesome experience. A gem in the neighborhood for sure.

Sat us at a railing-side two-top. My chair slanted so I kept sliding off. The table itself rocked on uneven legs. Sweet potato chips were lovely to look at but chewy rather than crispy. Needed salt. We ordered a dessert off the main menu and was told minutes later it wasn't available for lunch. Just a lot of little annoyances, although we both were very grateful that the place was open, the garden setting was beautiful and the service was friendly. Might go back, we'll see.

Fable is a great, casual spot for dinner with friends. I went on a Wednesday night around 6pm with a friend, and we were seated outside right away. I felt safe the entire time I was at the restaurant (distant from other tables, waitstaff wore masks, etc.). If you are looking for a great dinner spot, Fable is great!

Lovely garden patio, good neighborhood food.

Fabulous outdoor patio, great service and good food.

Beautiful setting and one of the best for outdoor dining! Food is pretty average but the vibes are great

Wonderful prix fixe Valentines Day menu! Had a great time. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend and I went to Fable this past weekend to celebrate Valentine's Day with their prix fixe menu. He got the carpaccio, halibut, and chocolate cake while I got the lobster bisque, steak, and creme brulee. All of it was delicious! The back patio was also adorable with the perfect amount of lighting and decor. It was a rainy day but it is all covered and definitely COVID-friendly with tables spaced out. Highly recommend!

We had a reservation for 5:15 PM but they were able to seat us early which was great. The patio in the back that they have for outdoor dining is beautiful! I am glad that it has a cover because it was a little rainy outside and they set up heaters too (we were seated right next to one - score!) so that helped a lot.

Their Valentine's Prixe Fixe menu was amazing. I went with the beet carpaccia starter and the vegan lasagna entree and finished the evening with the chocolate cake. The starter was probably my favorite - the dessert a very close second. The vegan lasagna was ambitious and while it was a great vegan version of a beloved classic (my family is very traditional Italian so I was raised on these types of dishes) - I was not 100% on board with some of the choices made. For being a vegan lasagna though it was quite good and the crumbles on the top were an excellent and much needed detail. The amount of vegetables was also great. Of course there are some textural elements that you really can't get with vegan cheeses so there were a few misses, but I would definitely try other vegan dishes from Fable in the future.

Overall, phenomenal experience. They offered us complimentary champagne to start as soon as we were seated and all the staff were incredibly helpful and lovely the entire time. I don't drink but they gave me a nice big bottle of Pelligrino which I enjoyed. I look forward to having another meal here some time in the future.

We were not impressed at all with the meal considering the cost for the prefixe menu, I dont think it was worth what we paid.

Good California-style cuisine! Their garden patio was well-setup with a good ambiance, and didn't look thrown together at all. Very cute and well-suited for a lunch date

1. Host had not the greatest attitude while seating us
2. The server forgot to bring our drinks and needed reminding
3. No salt and pepper at the table, had to ask and then it was brought almost...reluctantly?
4. All the staff had attitude as if we were a nuisance

Also, the faucet on the bathroom has SCALDING hot water and will eventually lead to a lawsuit.

But seriously...people are so excited to be back at restaurants, I had missed fable. What’s with the terrible attitudes among the staff?

Beautiful outdoor dining space but the food was below average. Lamb chops were tiny, Mac and cheese was burnt and my husbands burger was nothing more than ok. Staff was awesome.
