   Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Condado. From the moment you enter the restaurant you feel its ambiance: chill atmosphere and soothing music. The host was friendly and attentive. We first ordered cocktails (a mezcalita and m.mule) and they were spot on. After the cocktails, wine was next. Since we always like to bring our own bottle of wine to restaurants we did not order from their list (btw the corkage fee is reasonable; $15 I believe). However, I did examine the wine list which contains a variety of good wines at a reasonable price. The food was delicious, very beautifully presented and creative. For dessert we had the tres leches de coquito- absolutely amazing. During the end of our meal Chef Yamil Cruz greeted us at our table and very professionally made sure everything was in order. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. Highly recommend!

   We took our son here while vacationing in PR for his 16th birthday and the food was delightful. It took a while to come out but it was well worth the wait. The flavors are unique yet not odd and just makes you feel at ease. The food was very fresh and they even read my request to bring out a cake. So many restaurants fail to read the notes so I was very pleased with this level of detail. I’m from Philly where we have many expensive restaurants and this one honestly surpasses all of them including Eddie V’s, Sullivan’s, Ruth Chris, Capital Grille, etc. Compared to other food I’ve had, I would say it’s well underpriced for what you will receive. If you’ve ever been to Paris the food here is very similar.

   El menú es limitado, más si eres vegano. De repente el menu no ofrece un menú internacional creativo sino muy básico. La alternativa vegana que ofrecieron fue un mangu y vegetales. El ambiente y decoración es acogedor y bonito. El mesero no tenía pleno conocimiento del menú en muchas opciones, sin embargo, fue amable. Si buscas un lugar para alguna tapa y conversar sería perfecto. Si estás buscando una experiencia más alta en la elaboración de platos, no es el lugar.

   What a hidden gem. The food was really special and unlike so many restaurants in Puerto Rico they are light on the salt which really allows the flavors to come out. The Lobster Mac & Cheese was fantastic as well as the Stuffed Avocado with short ribs. And the service and ambiance was perfect. DEFINITELY going back!

    The Service was great but the food and the drinks were ok. It was our 2nd time there and menu is very limited. The couple next to us were very load so they made our date miserable. We ordered chicken curry with rice and the mangu with ribs, the ribs were burn and rice was over cook. They need to redesign the menu.

    The food was delicious and the cocktails were creative and excellent! Chef Yamil Ruiz came to our table and chatted with us and we discussed the Caribbean elements of his recipes. Our wait person made sure our meal was spaced appropriately. My wife and I enjoyed every aspect of the experience.

    Party of 10 from New York. Food allergies were almost missed. Food was good if slow even though there were only 2 tables (one large and one small) in the entire restaurant. Creative cocktails. 3 of 6 desserts were not available. Sound absorbers above table were stained with food.

    Attractive room, attentive service, chef came out and did rounds which was nice. But prices are super high and the flavors on what we ordered (halibut and short rib mofongo) didn’t seem to jive at all. Way too expensive for what it is. If prices were more reasonable I’d maybe go back and try again.

    We loved everything about Fabula! The staff was friendly and attentive and each course came just when we were ready for it. Every single thing we ate was amazing, and the combination of local food and traditional fair was wonderful. The restaurant was small and uncrowded so we could hear each other easily. Even the bathrooms were beautiful! Thank you for such a lovely evening.

    Valentines Menu - Everything was very good. Didn’t love the Prix Fixe Menu in its continuity and profile. Some inventive items executed really well. Interesting combinations and flavor profiles. Ambiance, live music and service were great. A bit on the paced side but makes sense. Will be going back.

    Hidden gem of Condado. The only thing better than the lounge atmosphere and impeccable service is the exquisite food. We came with a group of 7, and the staff was able to accommodate us last-minute with no problem. The menu is incredibly diverse (able to accommodate vegetarians and vegans), and the cocktail list was equally impressive. Highly recommend!

    A great experience! As an appetizer, I ordered the deconstructed crab alcapurria. However, they were out of crab and substituted short ribs. Had I understood, I would have probably ordered a different wine than the Gyotsku white blend. Nonetheless, the yucca fritters on a bed of shredded short rib with a spicy aioli was delicious. For the main, I had the jerk butter poached lobster. They were out of couscous, so the server offered me a second side dish instead of the usual just one. I ordered crispy Brussels sprouts and roasted vegetables. The crispy Brussels and the roasted vegetables were delicious. My lobster, however, was just okay. Nothing wasn’t specifically wrong with it, but it didn’t have that tender sweetness I experienced with butter poached lobster tail elsewhere. I was really looking forward to the basil mint chip ice cream but they were out. (One theme of the meal was “we are out.” Supply disruptions due to COVID etc are understandable. What I have trouble understanding is why an online menu (no paper copies due to COVID) seems to be so difficult to update.) However, the tres leches was delicious. Service was excellent: friendly and attentive. The chef came out to explain the substitution of short ribs for crab in the appetizer. There was no shortage of attention. They don’t access American Express but accept Apple Pay. Not perfect, but an excellent meal. I would try Fabula again.
