Extra Comment
A pleasant surprise. In past personal experience, the bigger the hype of a restaurant, the bigger the disappointment; we were so glad to be proved wrong at Fable. We scored bar seats and were seated right in front of the open kitchen so we saw the executive chef plating every dish. We saw first hand the detail and care put on each plate; at least 1 minute per plate. Overall, an excellent dinner.
