    Dinner was superb. Our waitress, Tonya, was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Her smile brightened our day, making us feel welcome. Appetizers of soup. steak tartare and salad were top notch. Entrees of chicken cordon blu and scallops can't be beat. No room for dessert and we were in a rush to get to the theatre next door. Definitely, don't miss a visit to La Fable when visiting Rehoboth, it's a small place downstairs and easy to miss. Well worth a special trip.

    Nice selection of French dishes. The food was excellent, all freshly prepared. My husband had cordon bleu, delicious but so rich he could only eat about half. I had the seasonal halibut, also delicious, much lighter.

    Very disappointing. Space was cramped and loud, and seating on a hard spindled bench was extremely uncomfortable. Our server was great - very professional and trying to please. The food however was not great. Steak tartar was bland, and overpowered by the salty chips it came with. Cesar salad looked brown and wilty. Scallops were tender, but lost in mushrooms and sauce. Dessert was so so. All in all, I expected alot more. Will not go back.

    Cheese plate serving size a bit skimpy. Scallop dish was delicious, but sauce was so thick & heavy that I could barely taste the scallops. Chicken dish was vey good. Need to add a milk chocolate dessert. Or crepes.

    We always enjoy Fable. The food is terrific and the wait staff are great. The ambiance is very much like what we are used to in good restaurants in France. The only issue is the really cool tin ceiling that reflects so much noise it is sometimes difficult to hear. They were very welcoming to our young children and worked with us to ensure the one person with allergies was well served and pleased with the meal. We will be back.

    This was my 25 year visiting Rehoboth in September. The last couple of years dining at La Fable. I can say Le Fable is the top restaurant in Reboboth. Very comparable to the top tier restaurants in any city anywhere.Everything about the operation is superbly professional.Great wine list and a sophisticated menu.A real treat! I did miss the outdoor seating this year.I always have the escargot paired with a sparkling brut white wine and the Bouillabaisse.The Chambord cake desert is amazing.The clientele appeared to be upscale.Prices are in line with the quality and service.

    Service was fantastic. Salad de Fable was exceptional. Ceasar salad was excellent. Poultry Cordon Blue was very good. Steak Tips were very good. The french bread was amazing with the salted butter. We ordered a second basket of bread! Crème Brûlée and French Press coffee was a perfect ending to a great evening. We had reservations for 7:30 pm, but were exhausted from a long day on the beach, so we called and they were super flexible with us coming earlier.

    We ate here three years ago and have been dreaming about it ever since. We moved mountains to get back to this place last night. You MUST try the Beouf Bourginon and the Duck! These dishes proudly deserve spots in our top 3 dishes of all time! The restaurant is small, and if crowded, it gets a bit loud, but the food and service can’t be beat. Chat with your neighbors—they’ll be sitting close to you—relax and enjoy. It’ll be worth it! Highly recommend!

    Our dinner was fabulous, with excellent service. Our waiter was highly professional, with excellent taste in wine pairings. We refused to let six, older, loud, rude American diners spoil our evening and the ambiance settled back to charming once they left. Highly recommend La Fable and we will be back.

    Recently ventured to Paris, France so we wanted a little Parisian reminder and boy oh boy we weren’t disappointed. Started with the buttery escargot and special savory chilled petite pea soup with lump crab plus lobster then ventured onto entree’s. My husband had the halibut and I had the duck with cherry reduction. Both were utterly incredible - although we agree we liked the duck’s bold flavors a bit more. Finished our date night with a huge crème brûlée and dessert cocktail. Service was wonderful, sweet and attentive with our decision making. We can’t wait to return with friends!

    Had birthday dinner for my father here and the food was very good . The escargot was ok as well as the steak tartare but the chips with the steak tartare were exceptional . The scallops and steak frites also were very delicious . The ambiance was nice and the patrons were all interacting with each other and very friendly as well. The sever was a bit cold and aloof which was strange especially given the environment .
