    Went with another couple, was seated in the side area next to the window kind of semi-private. Helped the experience be pretty quiet. We each had separate selections. One the salmon plate, one the ham sandwich, one the beef-kabob plate and one the kale bowl. We also had good wines. Everyone enjoyed their particular selection. The comment was made about how pleasant the background sound was. We were able to converse at a pleasant sound level without having to raise our voices. The service was friendly and quick and checked back occasionally and unobtrusively. Very nice. Good time had by all and the comment was made that we will likely return soon.

    We went here a few weeks ago and the service and food were great. This time however, we had a waiter who was never around and it was rude. The food was okay this time around too. Not as good as two weeks ago. Disappointed.

    Been wanting to try Fennel for a while and I’m glad we did. We all enjoyed our lunch and brunch dishes and plan on coming back for dinner. The portions were generous and I love the menu-lots to try! We sat outside so I really can’t speak to the noise level, but I have to compliment our server Claudia because she was wonderful. So nice, and went over all the most popular dishes with us which was helpful. All in all, we really enjoyed it and plan on coming back soon.
