    At an absolutely stellar experience at Fable. As a vegetarian, the squash steak was one of the best veg entrees I've had in a very long time. Deliciously flavoured and interesting (unlike the pasta marinara or risotto that many places seem to resort to as their obligatory veg option). You could tell thought had gone into it. And props to the bartender who took care of us when we were unsure about the options. Our server Olga was fabulous. We had such a good time with her; she put the "cherry on the top" of our wonderful evening. I was dining with my mother and she agreed that it was the best food she had in a long time and was already making plans to return. Thank you, Fable!

    The food was excellent and the service superb. Steak and salmon were cooked perfectly, and the pasta - both the seafood linguini and lamb pappardelle were superb. So much seafood and shellfish in the linguini that a take away box was needed! It truly is "my new favourite place"!
