    Best meal we’ve had in a really long time. Loved the tropical patio, our server was a total sweetheart, all are entrées, and the mac & cheese was off the hook, and the icing on the cake was half off wine because it was raining! Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

    Our server was very attentive. The garden is lovely a tad bit chilly but they have heat lamps. The wine & food were delicious. We ordered a savory salad, Mac n cheese, the pork chop, sea bass, a burger and the panna cotta. I’ve been a handful of times over the years & it’s always a nice meal. I’d recommend it if you’re wanting brunch or dinner in a garden setting.

    Food was mediocre - no water except tap and sparkling. Service was lacking in expedition and we waited an hour for salad. For all the rave and hoopla, I won’t come back or suggest Fable to any visitors to SF. Very disappointed to say the least.
