    RUN to eat here. The best meal I’ve had in SF after 7 years. Better than Quince, Rich Table, Osito, Earnest, Saison. I’m not even kidding and yes, I know those are different cusisines. The food is divine. Authentic French food and service (if they liked Americans).

    Still really enjoy this place. The food is always good and consistent and hearty. The patio is warm and comfortable and not loud even when full. A great neighborhood spot but worth the drive across town.

    Outstanding. Warm and friendly staff. On the ball. From the front of the house to the bussers. But it’s always been that way. My meal was perfection. Steak and eggs, cooked exactly to my specifications. Honestly, the menu is so good it’s hard to decide what to get. Atmosphere is like no where in the city. Rain or shine, dining in a garden, with heaters, is just delightful. Please don’t change Fable. You have my heart (and my tastebuds). 🫶🏻

    Everything was fine except for one thing. The food and service were good, but for some reason, even though there was only one other table of customers in the restaurant at the time, they sat us right next to them, and then sat the next group, a large party of eight on the other side of us, when we had clearly asked for a quiet table so we could conduct business.

    Having to order food & beverage via a QR code and then being expected to tip on service for basically food runners seemed a bit unfair. The beers were excellent. The currywurst needed MUCH more curry.
