Went there for my birthday and I'm giving it three stars because it was a little overpriced. And my lobster sandwich was not that great. Definitely not worth the price of $30! It was all bread and just a little bit of lobster. However I would recommend the French onion soup, the lobster bisque and the crème brûlée. read more

I love this place! Service is always great and food is stellar! I love sitting on the patio with a glass of wine.

This Texan French creole restaurant was such a great find. This small time of grapevine has some pretty amazing restaurants. There was live music which was perfect for this atmosphere. The music wasn't too loud which was perfect. We wanted a little bit of seafood and found such and amazing spot for it. Well we were pretty hungry so we started with the artichoke dip which was very creamy and warm. Then we moved onto the entrees which were amazing. Definitely going back for more. The lobster grilled cheese and lobster bisque was so delicious. It was buttery and a little crunchy because of the bread which made for the perfect sandwich. You had to dip the grilled cheese in the lobster bisque. Couldn't have been a better pair. Boy they do not cut you back on any seafood was pretty surprise the amount of meat in the entrees. Make sure you stop on by for some great food and an amazing restaurant. read more

St. Patricks Day lunch with a friend I've missed for a while. Delicious soup and salad. The lentil soup is full of lentils, veggies, with a clear broth! Love it. We experienced professional and very attentive service. Loved the relaxed and yet old world feel and decor. Great place! Will definitely go again. read more

Been a while since we had the pleasure of dining for brunch at Chez Fabian, so I was very happy when our son and daughter-in-law suggested it. This is a small restaurant with a real bustling vibe for breakfast. Everything we had was absolutely excellent. My daughter-in-law had the smoked Atlantic salmon bagel and it was huge in terms of the generous salmon offering. Could not ask for any better if in a New York deli. My son went more lunch and the Peach & Burrata Salad. Outstanding, fresh and flavorful. My wife selected the Migas, which is what I had had on a couple other visits over the years. This is an excellent selection, and a huge serving. I decided on the Carnitas Huevos Rancheros and was very happy with the choice. Carnitas was tender and flavorful and the eggs cooked to over medium perfection. The sides that came with both of the meals were also plentiful and flavorful. Our nearly 2-year-old grandson had the kid's eggs and bacon, which the server graciously brought early. He enjoyed it, but preferred the offerings of potatoes and other items from my wife and my plates even more. If there was a Migas Jr. serving, they might just become a best seller for kids. For breakfast, this restaurant is a strong 5 stars. I rate it only 4 overall though, because of a few less than perfect lunches and dinners where food came out a bit cold and muscles underdone. read more

Went for lunch for our first time there on a Thursday and it was busy. We were seated right away and had a server greet us promptly. We split a bowl of French onion soup and a turkey panini, food was excellent! Great ambiance with a very welcoming feel. Service was great. We will definitely be back read more

Holy crap the food was pretty damn good here. The Brie and Texas toast were insane and the Scallops with mushroom Risotto were also phenomenal. Cute tables and attentive staff. Just wish there was a little more of a special touch for the birthday occasion. A candle or something would have made this extra special but I would 1000% come back here. read more

This is a very popular lunch/brunch place we wanted to try out before hitting the wineries on a Saturday. The wait was about 45 minutes long but we got a couple of spaces at the bar. These two bartenders were fabulous!! Greeted immediately and these guys were busy! They had a full bar and we were all ordering cocktails. The vibe is trendy and industrial. Great vibes!!! We ordered prosecco and it was perfectly chilled and crisp. I originally wanted the Croque Monsier but they had run out. I order the grilled cheese instead and was very happy with it! It's a grown up grilled cheese and so yummy! The tomato soup was perfect. My friend ordered the Migas and she said it was just okay. It lacked flavor. They need to add some pizzazz to it. The bartenders were attentive and this was a great meal overall. We'll be back! read more

You're better off at IHOP! Hostesses nicely greeted my gf and me and we thought this was going to be a great lunch/cocktail date on a recommendation from a friend. Positives: great atmosphere, the bar and seating areas are nice and the vibe is chill. Negatives: the bartender was initially stand off ish and seemed bothered, but did get nicer about halfway through. They seem to treat regular patrons like gold and are high school girl rude to others. Annoying. Anyway, I got sangria and requested lighter on the schnapps, don't like it too sweet, and it was still SO sweet. Like Welch's grape juice. Could hardly taste any wine. And 1 wedge of orange was the only fruit and that's what they call a sangria? Yikes... The food: it was barely okay. The flavor of the spinach and artichoke dip was good, but the spinach wasn't chopped and barely cooked leaving big honks of half wilted spinach stuck in your throat. It was a task to eat. The croque madame was disappointing, too. The bread was nothing special (felt like regular supermarket bagged bread) and the ham appeared to be thicker cut deli meat without the distinct flavor you'd expect from this French classic. Same with the caprese sandwich... the pesto tasted packaged and the mozzarella was basically flavorless slapped on a baguette with some really dull-tasting tomatoes. We also got a side of potatoes with the croque and they were definitely from a frozen bag. So lame. It's a letdown because the menu reads well, but you get it all and end up disappointed. Nothing about the food was unique. Felt like a lot of short cuts and no in-house signature flavors or effort. Not worth their menu prices. And certainly not the least bit French. read more

Stopped by for a light lunch after walking around downtown grapevine. Salads and espressos were great. I had the wedge and it was exactly what I needed. I also got a cappuccino, which came in a large mug. It was more like a latte, but yummy nonetheless. read more

So I too have been a patron of Chez Fabien for the last year or so. In general, I love the environment and I have had only positive experiences with the bartender, Leah. The issue here is that certain "regulars" at the bar seem to feel that almost any behavior is acceptable. While I normally laugh this off (or try), the other night this sense of permissibility resulted in my friend being admonished and maligned with very threatening language (and behavior) for his perceived sexual orientation. I have never witnessed anything like this in my life and I've lived in DFW for all of it. This was absolutely nuts. The management did not protect him or us. Instead, they gave apparent cover to the person screaming the gay slurs by demanding that we leave even though neither of us had done anything wrong. My friend's crime was apparently standing up to this bully with words alone, in an attempt to dissuade him from doing something worse. How do we know if he is armed or what's about to happen? The owner, who I reached out to on behalf of myself and my friend has NEVER responded to me. To be clear, I am a different person. I am a human being. I'm a woman. I'm a customer of his. He may not like my friend's estimation of his management's lack of responsibility or much worse, his own, but I too never received an apology. They did charge me for the drinks which we did not finish as we were exited for the crime of um...not enjoying a Gay slurfest? Now I see Mr. Goury is leveling private threats to further publicly insult the true victim here, who is my friend. A man who was silently taking a selfie in the corner of the bar while waiting for me to return from the restroom. Lastly, neither of us have gone into the details of what was said to us when we arrived. The homophobic craziness started immediately and it is unbelievable. Wish we would have just left. The incident at the bar later on was just the culmination. Ironically, there is nothing about either one of us that screams our sexual orientation. We were just out celebrating my friend getting his citizenship. Perhaps the American flag was the trigger. Who knows? I also want to say that Mr. Goury needs to brush up on the 1st Amendment. In this country, we have the right to speak the truth freely. He may not feel that his staff nor he owes us an apology but I can say that he has no business privately or publicly admonishing either of us for being outraged about what happened in his restaurant, nor putting that outrage into writing. Even more concerning than Mr. Goury's lack of respect and concern for his customers' safety is his lack of concern for his staff. If his customers are allowed to be verbally maligned, his staff are at risk for this permissible behavior as well. Mr. Goury is not directly responsible for his other customer's verbal attack; however, he is responsible for his staff's response and his lack of concern for his customers. I attempted to politely contact Mr. Goury and was ignored. Edit: I added a screenshot of one of the attempts to contact him. read more

**5/5 Stars** One of my favorite breakfast spots The Croque Madame is my go-to dish, and for good reason It's a masterclass in flavor and texture, with perfectly toasted bread, rich béchamel sauce, tender ham, and a runny egg on top The service is always friendly and attentive, making it a must-visit for a delicious breakfast or brunch read more

I have visited this restaurant at least three times for lunch, and each experience has consistently met my expectations--I'd rate them around 9 out of 10. However, my recent visit last Saturday around 8 PM for a drink and a snack was disappointing. The service was subpar. Despite informing the server that the food did not meet expectations, no one followed up to apologize or offer an explanation. The item remained on the bill regardless. We ordered the fried shrimp and calamari dish, which was extremely poor in quality--there were no visible shrimp, and only two very small calamari rings. The rest of the plate consisted mainly of fried bread crumbs and a few peppers. Unfortunately, this was the worst calamari dish I've ever had. I strongly advise against ordering it. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the quality and service concerns. read more

Very good dining experience! Good food and service! I've been here before and will be back!

The food is amazing! I had the salmon, the artichoke appetizer, the crème brûlée. All very delicious! Highly recommend!

I was looking for a fabulous dessert restaurant around Mid-Cities and stumbled upon this amazing gem on Foogle on NainStreet, Grapevine. My parents were hosting my Aunt and Uncle from out if town and are self-professed foodies and after reading reviews and knowing how quaint and magical that part if Grapevine is, we decided ro have dessert and my kids and I had dinner. First of all, I must give the hostess, Ashley, big kudos for squeezing our family of 7 in without a reservation, and it was a full restaurant. I was very thankful that she heard me out while I pled my case and found our big party a table within 10 minutes. Also, the food was out of this world, so were the cocktails were. My son had a giant, delicious hamburger, and I had the fantastic scallops with mushroom risotto. Everything was so well cooked and delicious!! Everyone also shared the wonderful desserts, which was why we were all there. We all shared the creme brulee, bread pudding, chocolate molten cake, and strawberry banana crepes. True to Google, the desserts were all really fantastic. Also, the French Old Fashioned cocktail was delicious. All 7 of us highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. I now understand why it was so crowded on a Wednesday night! Also, the ambiance was cozy and quaint. Highly recommend from all of us!! 5 stars read more

Grabbed a quick post-breakfast snack here (if you have young kids, you know what I mean). It was super convenient to just grab something to-go from the bakery that is located next to the sit down restaurant. The heated up our croissants as well. Both were amazing - I loved the almond one - lots of filling and flakey layers! This is a legitimate French style bakery! My in-laws came here for dinner the night before and had great things to say about it. Will have to check it out when we are in town again! read more

Service was fast! Bread pudding french toast - delicious! Appropriate amount of firmness, sweetness (not overbearing) Dark chocolate mocha with coconut milk - basic chocolate mocha (I feel like mixing with coconut reduced it's flavor so that was on me; I try to do dairy-free). Chocolate almond crossaint - basic. Nothing noteworthy. Orange berry scone - tasty and not somewhat soft; sweet but not overbearing; Cinnamon scone: most delicious! Great cinnamon taste that's not too overbearing; flavor in every bite (no gaps). Got food to-go, but ambiance reminiscent of old castle. read more

It's all good. Go there often for lunch. Great food choices and generally good service for a hectic lunch time

Ohioans here - we stopped for breakfast while in town visiting friends and cannot recommend Chez Fabian enough. Everything we had was fantastic! Being a Monday morning we were able to sit right away but I would assume there's a decent wait on the weekends. I enjoyed the quiche florentine - very generous slice, it was absolutely delicious. My husband had the smoked salmon benedict which he said was great and not overeat heavy. Lastly, we split the bread pudding French toast - wow! It was amazing, however one piece (of the 3) was more than enough. read more
