From cocktails to dessert it was a superb experience. Service was excellent and fun. The sirloin with the pepper jam was amazing! Flavours paired perfectly. And highly recommend the Brown Butter Maple Cake. read more

Came here for an evening dinner treat-myself sort of adventure and Fable did not disappoint! I arrived as a party for one mid week, so that likely made seating easy. The food was simply amazing. They pulled off a simple off-menu garden salad, (to much of the next table's surprise or envy) and I had a succulent smoked duck breast to follow. My server made sure I had a fantastic evening and needless to say, I will be holding them in high regards and back for more. read more

The food is really good and the service was good too. I ordered chick pea fritters, rutabaga tagliatelle with mushroom sauce and brownie for a dessert. They were all good except when I ordered black tea and took a sip it was so bad. I looked at it and the tea bag was twining... they could use better quality tea to go well with their dessert. But I will go back. read more

let me just start by saying.. gourmet food in canada is definitely pricey! we were hoping to get a break from the exchange rate but very little did that help us in the land of delicious grub everywhere haha so Fable was actually one of the recommendations my friend gave me~ made a reservation well in advance and got a seating for 2 no problem~ when we arrived on a late thursday evening though, the restaurant was packed! so lucky to have that ressie! so we began with the canned tuna and the duck meatball~ The canned tuna was very interesting. quite fragrant and definitely not your average can of tuna! very smooth in texture. though, i do wish the tuna flavor jumps out more. since it's mixed with potato and olive oil, it delivered a very creamy taste like a spread but imo the aroma of this overpowered the tuna itself a bit. still very enjoyable and def good start to dinner! The duck meatball... oolala was certainly one to remember! i savored every bite of it! i recorded a mini clip of cutting up the meatball, but it turned out to be very anti-climatic so yea.. lol didn't post that BUT even though, appearance was so-so~ the flavors were out of this world! along with the pasta at the bottom, each bite was so packed with savoriness. if you're a duck fan, you absolutely have to try this! entree: Duck breast with gnocchi on yogurt sauce i remember it was tasty.. but wasn't phenomenal. it is however note worthy that they incorporated the yogurt sauce to add that summer freshness~ the plating and the garnishes nailed the summer theme perfectly. i enjoyed the dish as a whole. while they served just a fair portion of the duck, i was hitting the wall with the last bite with the gnocchi and greens on the side. my friend ordered the steak special that's paired with bok choy and shiitake mushrooms. it was for sure more of a asian fusion dish but still very good! so overall, it was a very fun dining experience. i'm not sure if i would make a trip out to kitsilano for Fable. the fact that rain and shine is next door makes it a big plus! lol i certainly wouldn't mind having that duck meatball again :O~ mayb i'll just double down on that next time and call it a meal! haha read more

Fable Kitchen - Yum~ - Canadian (New) Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Good. Not great. The canned tuna was good but not spectacular. The chickpea fritters were dry but had a delicious sauce and pickled red onions. Lentil ragout was the worst out of three lentil dishes I've had lately (note that the other two were amazing) The best part of the meal was the salted almond chocolate bark that came with our dessert. read more

I have compiled a short list of Vancouver restaurants that have garnered notoriety on Yelp over the past few years. One of these restaurants is in the heart of Kits called Fable. Upon first seeing the restaurant from the streets, it appears it will be quite small and crowded. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how it opens up when you access the rear portion of the restaurant. As we were seated, I felt as though we were in a comfy, neighbourhood establishment that the community enjoys visiting on a regular basis. My wife gazed up at the ceiling and noticed a pitch fork as one of the stylistic pieces as a part of the lighting. It was quite interesting. Overall the ambience was energetic. The crowd was a bit too noisy for my liking as I had to raise my voice quite often to speak with the guests at my table. I'm never a fan of leaving a restaurant with a sore throat - so my only 'major' knock on this place is the volume. The food was outstanding. As an appetizer, I got to try their tomato soup which was "poured" into my bowl, piping hot. My taste buds were jumping for joy while enjoying this dish. We moved onto the entrees shortly thereafter. My wife got to enjoy the rissotto and I their gnocchi (with a side of pulled pork). The gnocchi dish was a generous portion given how filing the meal can be. I was very pleased. The squash accent was the perfect amount. I must give full marks for this. Service was above par. We had a group of four and with relative ease our server split the bill. Dishes were served in a timely manner and the waiters/waitresses were kept a good pulse of the conversation/body language to estimate when was the best time to approach the table. I value this quite a bit. Again, great restaurant - just a bit too noisy for my liking. This is to be expected though when you go to a smaller establishment with many people. read more

Amazing dishes mostly organic. Great flavour and great selection. One of my favourite date night/ couples night spots. The steak is great and the fish is even better!! read more

Small plates, west coast cuisine. Environment: tables close together, loud, crowded. Service: good but could be more attentive. I sat there all night with one water refill. And water is important because the food is very salty. Sorry that I don't order alcohol- don't mistake that for being cheap. Your food is just too salty! Food: limited selection because they make what is in season. It is too salty. But it is really good. And filling. I ordered the duck breast and my partner had the steak. Forgot what we had for appetizer. But you can tell the difference in the proteins- it is really tender and juicy. For dessert we shared the smores. Too sweet. Reservations: recommended. They get really busy. Overall.... if you really want to sell the 'farm to table' approach, why not try to let people taste what 'real food' tastes like without all the salt and sugar? I felt like my taste buds were going through highs and lows (extremely salty and then extremely sweet). Isn't it important to know how good the food is without covering it in salt? I would come back on a quiet weeknight. However, there are a lot of comparable restaurants nearby. Fable is not bad, but wasn't especially memorable with how common west coast tapas restaurants are now. The crowd is also very yuppie. (It's in Kits after all). Next time I will bring my own water. Because... too salty!!! :0 read more

Foodies and Food Network geeks will love it here. The menu, service and even atmosphere cater to passionate food lovers. The entire service team is helpful, appearing to take pleasure in explaining each plate and welcoming any and all questions thrown their way. Fable is made for people who live to eat. The menu is not a radical departure from typical west coast Canadiana, but there are enough twists, playful flavour combinations and textures to keep an eater interested through every bite. The beef tartare comes liberally dressed in a sour cream based sauce - a fun play on the much loved sour cream and onion chip when paired with the house fried potatoes chips. The oysters with pickled horse radish and citrus segments were phenomenal and the stand out dish of the night, followed closely by the gorgonzola cheesecake to end the evening. The print menu is interesting and I'm sure would not disappoint, but ordering off the chalk board, updated very regularly I am told, is where it is at. At times the playful food geek side of Chef Trevor Bird overpowers the simplicity of the farm table menu, but the passion and creativity he brings shines through making for consistently interesting and exciting plates. Every bite is unique, both in flavour and texture - it is a real pleasure eating at Fable. Sure everyone may be doing farm to table food these days, but Fable does it very well. If eating is your thing, go to Fable and enjoy. read more

BEST RESTAURANT EVER!! The food is so beautifully done. The staff is super friendly and welcoming! The space is perfect. Fable honestly couldn't be better. My favorite dish is the steak fites. Just wait until you try the black pepper jam on the bottom of the plate. I cried. So good. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone! AMAZING! read more

The first time I went to Fable was for an anniversary with my boyfriend which he reserved out of a good recommendation. We were greeted at the door and right away taken to our seats. We were impressed with the host and server's friendliness and how they acknowledged our anniversary and our food restrictions (I am a vegetarian). We ordered drinks and started with the chickpea fritters and the salad they had at the time and we were completely blown away by the chickpea fritters!! The curried sauce is unbelievable!! If it came in a bottle, I would definitely put it on everything. For our main course, he ordered the seared fish and I order the butternut squash pesto gnocchi. One bite in and we were both in awe! I have traveled Italy and have had a lot of gnocchi but this gnocchi was hands down the best I have ever tried. They were like little soft pillows that melted away in my mouth -- perfect texture and consistency. My boyfriend raved about the fish dish as well. While a full-course meal at Fable can be on the pricey side, it is well worth it. We have both agreed that Fable is our favourite restaurant in Vancouver and have made it our official monthly anniversary dinner place. We have been going there for the past 3 months and the last time he phoned to make a reservation, they recognized who he was, asking "and your wife is a vegetarian, yes?" which suggests how impressive their service is. The high-quality service combined with the high-quality ingredients and dishes makes Fable not only a place to eat, but an experience. Each month we anticipate what the menu will consist of and what type of gnocchi dish I will be devouring. We thank Fable for having us each month and providing a consistently beautiful experience! read more

Been here twice for dinner and twice for brunch. It is a great room and exactly what Kits needed. Brunch wasn't very busy at the beginning but I think it is picking up. And the macaroons are the best I have tried. The first dinner there we had the canned tuna, chickpea fritters, oysters, and the duck breast. The standouts were the chickpea fritters and the scallion perogies that went with the duck breast. Looking at the menu, they don't seem to have them, which would be a shame, as they were amazing. Anyway, this place is definitely worth a stop and the prices are reasonable for this level. read more

Foodz: ** Chickpea Fritters - the curry mayo. Oh wow. ** Beet Salad - Very bright and fresh. Could have used a touch more salt. ** Spaghetti and Meatballs - Can I haz a bowl of just the meatballs and parm foam? plz? ** Tomato Soup - Did I spy a grilled cheese crouton in the middle of that bowl of warmth and cozy? Yes. ** Halibut - Of course, the dish I order is the one I'm least fond of. Loved the concept of this dish and the fish was nicely poached, but the onions in the chowder were still slightly raw and overpowered the mussels. Also, the chowder was actually luke warm, which overall ruined the dish. The fried bit at the top was the only bit of texture and it needed more. Boo. ** Milk-poached chicken - loved the bit of fried chicken with that. Yum. ** Duck Breast - This was a delicious dish as well and the duck was cooked very nicely. ** Lemon Meringue parfait - Holy Hell. Come here for this dessert. The tarragon ice cream is bananas! The lemon is delicious. It's magic. Yeah, we ordered the menu. And yes, for the most part, it was all amazingly delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will be back for boozy brunch. read more

Oh my. GAWWD! My bestie and I went for brunch and shared the farmers muffin and the French toast and a side of Bacon (which is a small slab of pork belly). At first when the plates came out we were disappointed by the portion size but completely forgot about it once we started eating. The muffin: The pepper jam blew my mind, the potatos were perfectly crisp and seasoned, the house made sausage was moist and had a great texture and it was the perfect complement to our next course, which was the French toast. What?!! Where have you been all my life? I've never had French toast like that! I'm more of a waffle girl, but man oh man, it was delicious. Made with a huge hunk of brioche, it was lightly battered with egg so it wasn't grossly soaked through and soggy. In fact, it was just on this side of perfect. It was topped with berries and whipped ecstasy with a smear of Apple sauce. I didn't need any maple syrup, but that's a personal preference. The atmosphere is a bit loud but the decor is cool and and food is amazing. The price point is affordable in regards to your pocket book but is an absolute steal in regards to the quality. I can't wait to come back for dinner! read more

This has got to be one of the best brunches I've had in a long time. While their brunch menu is not extensive, what they do have are made to perfection. I sampled their pulled pork Johnny cakes (really pancakes) and their Fable eggs with lardons (cubed bacon) and their rustic bread. The way they put their ingredients together were superb. While the Johnny cakes came with syrup on the side, I didn't need it. The pulled pork has just enough sweetness added to it to create a nice juxtaposition to the saltiness of the pork. Great job. I should also comment that the service I received was exemplary. The staff were constantly refilling my coffee and water. One time my coffee was sitting there for a while. When I asked for a warmup, the waitress instead went and got me a brand new cup of coffee. Big brownie points for that. Because this place is so popular, expect to have long waits if you go during the busy periods as they don't take reservations for brunch. It also gets a bit noisy due to the number of people stuffed into the moderately sized restaurant...but it does add to the level of energy of the place. This is not one of those places where you go to for brunch to stuff yourself with a lot of greasy filling food. It's a place where you leave with a satisfied feel in your stomach and very happy taste buds. read more

I had high hopes for Fable, but sadly they didn't deliver. My partner and I came in for a quick dinner and had a tough time choosing what to order because - we didn't really want anything that the menu had to offer! Thats a new one...Anyway we settled on chick pea fritters to start - they were okay, imagine falafel - there you have it. For our mains we had the chicken and the duck - the duck was better but everything seemed to have a 'sweet' after taste to it. Very strange. Meals are homey, heavy and more like 'wintery' fare. Service was good. Very attentive. read more

This is another 3.5* place. I feel like I'm being hard on Fable, because there was so much that was great. But a place like this should have quality cocktails, or at least decent ones. Based on earlier reviews describing the same problem, Fable just hasn't bothered. It makes me wonder about the quality of their wine list. *The good and great: -The special appetizer, the cheese cornbread, was very good. It wasn't super-rich and wasn't dry, the cheese wasn't overwhelming, and the jalapeno whipped butter worked well with it. -The chickpea fritters are incredible. The combination of fritters with the house-made mayonnaise (!!) and pea shoots (I think?) with pickled onions.. wow. -The trout was also amazing. I just made an open-faced sandwich with the leftovers, and it is still amazing. Worth the price, except that it may have ruined me for lesser fish dishes. -My husband enjoyed the lentil ragout a lot, though I thought it was too salty. The service was consistently very good. *The bad: The cocktails were very disappointing. We ordered two off the menu: an Old Fashioned made with Victoria Gin's aged gin, and I forget the name, but the ingredients started with Wiser's Deluxe whiskey and ended with Giffard's pomegranate. We also had a Manhattan. They were all bad, and some of them seemed uninformed. Old Fashioned drinks are whiskey drinks, so I knew ordering one with an aged gin would be experimental, it might not be my favorite, and that would be okay. It would have been, except that it looked like a take on the Old Fashioned served before people remembered that it's supposed to be a simple drink. It had an orange slice and maraschino cherry and was very sweet. The Wiser's drink: Wiser's Deluxe is an okay Canadian whiskey. Still, the drink sounded interesting on the menu. It started promisingly, with a grapefruit garnish that was nicely done.. but drinking it was like drinking pomegranate syrup. No balance, barely a sense of the whiskey or other ingredients. And of course it was small. I don't complain when I dislike something as a matter of personal preference, only on the rare occasions when it's clear that something went drastically wrong (corked wine, it tastes like someone spilled the salt on my dish, etc). But this was so bad that when the waitress asked how the cocktails were, we actually said something. She was great, and offered to take it off the bill and replace it with something else. So my husband asked for a Manhattan, as a generally safe drink he likes. It was the worst Manhattan either of us has tasted in a long time, and this time I'm including what I got from the open bar at a recent conference reception. Vancouver has some great bars, and its fine restaurants tend to take their cocktails seriously. Maybe they serve mostly wine and beer and have specialized cocktail offerings, with a small selection of bottles and specific drinks; maybe they find someone who really knows the world of cocktails to run their bar. Either way, they use quality ingredients, know what classic drinks should look and taste like, and work to make sure their house cocktails are good and maybe even interesting. It seems that Fable needs to take advantage of the resources this town has. There are some interesting bottles behind its bar, but I wonder if there's anyone who would know what to do with them. And if there is, why were even basic drinks so darn bad? read more

One of the hot places to eat in Vancouver. Creative take on Canadian-ish food. Small but inventive menu. Outstanding service and great food. Very small dining space so get a reservation on any day. We went on a Tuesday very early and we lucked out with one table a no show. The surprise for me was the non- alcoholic drink I had. Cranberry, soda, bitters and what ever else it was a drink the likes of which I have never tasted. A creative blast! My homemade pasta and meat sauce was cooked perfectly and not too tomatoey. Very well seasoned. Ling Cod was tasty, crispy and fresh. Good inventive food with great service! I'll be back with a reservation next time. read more

Went for brunch with friends and the food was ok - nothing really special. I got the steak and eggs and my friend got the eggs benedict. For $25 I was expecting my steak to be a lot bigger - I only got a few slices that was maybe 120g in total? I guess this is Vancouver pricing for ya. The service was fine. read more

Wow! We went for Dine Out Vancouver, and this place was so delicious. I didn't know what to expect when reading the menu, as a lot of the menu items were things that I've never tried. I went due to the farm to table concept and it was conveniently during Dine Out. My appetizer was the Chickpea Fritters. I've never had Chickpea, but every bite was amazing! The Braised Lamb entree was delicious and I tried a bite of the Seared Ling Cod which was perfectly seared and the hollandaise sauce paired well. Lastly, we got the Lemon Parfait and Sticky Date Pudding for desert and both tasted great. Loved that they were in the glass cups and were the perfect size for us. As for the service, it was great! Our server came by several times during the dinner and asked us how our food was, despite how busy the restaurant was. Love this restaurant and will definitely be going back next time we're in Vancouver! read more

Excellent New Canadian restaurant with incredibly friendly staff. One of the dishes, the Trout, was one of the most simply and yet elegantly presented dishes I've seen in a long time. By the end of the evening we'd been given 2 free drinks each, and ended up having full-on conversations with the manager and all the waitresses and waiters. We had a great time and would highly recommend this spot. read more

My go to restaurant. I know that I'm going to get great quality food and fantastic service. It's not your high end dining where you encounter pretentious guests who only know food by the price beside it. It's busy, tables are close but I can't justify a better bang for the buck. Gnocchi and the duck are my go to for dinner. Can't say enough even after 3 years. read more

Highly recommended. Great and friendly service. Food is amazing. We've tried almost everything on their menu and everything is fantastic. read more

Thank you for the update. I look forward to visiting you soon! I loved the food previously.

Food was good, you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. However it was nothing super amazing. Service was also a bit slow and waitstaff was not that attentive. read more

My first time having brunch at Fable! It was delicious! Yes, I love the farm to table concept, but the real selling feature for me was the sounds panels. I have been to so many restaurants where the decor involves high ceilings and hard surfaces, so the noise bounces around making it difficult to hear the server and the people you're with. My hobbies are eating and spending time with friends, so I get very annoyed and frustrated when I can't have a conversation. I had the chance to speak with Ron, the owner, to commend him on the sounds panels and tell him I wish more restaurants did this. I strongly recommend this restaurant not only because it's a great place to have a yummy local farm to table food, but an exceptional place to have conversations with those you are with. read more

DELICIOUS vegan options. Friendly service. Walk-able. Fabulous choice to try out or keep going to!!

Amazing, amazing food! I've pretty much been raving about this place to everyone ever since I came here for the first time a couple weeks ago. I like the casual, rustic atmosphere. It's all about the food. I had a scallop appetizer (one of the specials), duck breast, and opera torte. The duck breast was juicy, and the duck confit croquette underneath was so tasty. The opera torte was perfect, rich, but not overly sweet. I feel like it's not often that I've had such a memorable dessert. You have to try one of their desserts. Or two. Or three. read more

This restaurant should be a lesson to all restauranteurs out there. The service is amazing, their commitment to quality food is unbelievable. When one of our apps went back only half eaten they took notice and without us even asking they offered to comp it due to it being undercooked. I've been to restaurants before where if you aren't satisfied with your meal they'll comp it, but never have I been to a restaurant where they keep an eye on how much food is left on the plate. Outstanding! The chef and staff really want you to have the best dining experience they can offer and they deliver. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the drinks while tasty are weak and pricey for said weakness. Their desserts also leave a bit to be improved upon. We ordered three and they were either too sweet or not sweet enough. An addition of a dessert specialist to their staff may be in order. A quick breakdown of our meal... The halibut was incredible. The short rib special was outstanding. The duck liver pate app was delicious. Drinks were tasty but "light." Desserts were sweet and not so sweet. So in summary, their chefs know how to cook kick ass meals, their staff should be teaching everyone in Vancouver how to run a restaurant and if you go to Fable you will have one of the best dining experiences that are offered in Vancouver. I'd put them up next to Forage and Bishops. That's how good they are. read more

Excellent! Best breakfast in Kitsilano. They don't accept reservations, just walk in. We walked here today (Sunday) to try the brunch, based on reviews we saw on Yelp. Delicious, fresh, made in house black pepper jam, hearty bread, unique breakfast presentation. We ordered the kids pancakes with apple butter, omelette (deconstructed flat egg crepe with bacon/mushroom/goat cheese/onion/salad on plate), scrambled eggs in a Mason jar with Parmesan foam, thick brioche, and a hashbrown cake square. Light and sparkling mimosa, fresh coffee, attentive but not overbearing service. They offered a coloring book and crayons for our daughter. The orange juice is fresh squeezed. Tasty jam. The restaurant and washroom were clean. On the weekend, get there as soon as they open because they fill up quickly. read more

Vegan friendly - however there was only one main course dish on the menu that could be made vegan. The server very kindly took care of my orders and told me they could switch out certain things to make a non-vegan dish vegan. The beet root tartar was delicious as well as the zucchini tagliatelle. Everything was great except they were a little too salty in my opinion... Since I do eat a whole foods plant based low salt and oil diet it could just be my personal acquired taste though. However my family who are not vegan also found it too salty. Great service though! read more

Lucked out for Sunday brunch in that we just missed the big line up! Food was very well done and the special Caesar was pretty good too. Not sure it was worth the $12 price though. For a very busy place our food came out in a timely manner and we never felt forgotten by our server. Plus there was not too much noise from other tables which made conversing that much better. read more

Really casual environment. Everyone is so laid-back and friendly and the food is actually affordable! Loved the "spaghetti and meatballs" which is interpretation of the classic with duck meatballs, a light creamy sauce, and tagliatelle. Perfect for sharing between 2-3 people as an appetizer. The onion gnocchi was to die for. Clouds of fluffy potato onion pillows that appeared to be lightly panfried. But save room for the s'mores as that's where all the magic happens. Toasted marshmallow fluff on top of chunks of chocolate cookie and chocolate mousse and cookie bits, you can't leave without ordering it! read more

We went here with a big party expecting great food and great service (based on past experience and reviews). We got a breakfast that went wrong at every turn -- we were almost the first party to sit down and dishes we ordered were sold out, our order was skipped over multiple times (people who sat down after us were paid and leaving before we got food), one of the staff kept telling us our food was moments away when it clearly wasn't, and then one of the orders was wrong. Everyone at the restaurant was very nice about it, but it was so many things went wrong that they just wrote us off so they could focusing on salvaging other people's mornings. The food was pretty OK. I didn't ever figure out what people think is so special about the place - it's a good enough diner breakfast in a good location. Maybe lunch or dinner is more special, we probably won't be going back to find out. The staff was cool and nice. Same with the clientele. But this is a "skip" for me. read more

This is a great restaurant I choose for special events, the most recent being a birthday dinner. We ordered several dishes. The spaghetti and duck meatball was outstanding. The chickpea fritters and stiletto steak were very good. The halibut was good, but I didn't love the stinging nettle oat risotto. I wouldn't order it again. The s'mores dessert was fantastic. The service was excellent and we had a friendly and genuine, down to earth server. I like that the restaurant keeps some solid faves on the menu and then changes up seasonally. There's always something new to try. We'll be back for our next special event! read more

Wanted to have a Canadian breakfast. Locals recommended a few places and decided to stop here. Food was good, very rich, sweet, and flavorful. A little too sweet for my liking but nonetheless still tasty. I loved the different ingredient pairings. I ordered the braised pork flat cakes, ham Benedict, and eggs. All very tasty. The restaurant had such a great atmosphere, really enjoyed the decor. Very intimate setting, love the fresh ingredients and farm to table here! read more

Fable was the most enchanting restaurant experience I've ever had. We were sat at the bar but with the open Concept kitchen, it ended up being the highlight of our night.

Watching the care put into each meal started my love for small business and changed my outlook on how going out for dinner should leave you feeling read more

Came here with my partner and we both thoroughly enjoyed our experience! We attempted to book a reservation for 7pm on a Monday two days before, but their 6:30, 7:00, and 7:30 spots were already full. The place was packed for a Monday evening so I would definitely recommend booking a reservation several days in advance. We got a table for 8pm, and as we arrived a bit early, we decided to have a couple drinks at the bar. I had the Kiss from a Rose which was sweet and delicious. The rose syrup flavour really came through. My partner had a mezcal based drink, and while I am not the biggest mezcal fan, he assured me that the drink was top notch. Cocktails were about $9 and $12 respectively, so not terrible. As they had given us menus while we waited at the bar, we were able to order our food right away. We got our meals in about 25-30 minutes which I thought was prompt given how busy the place was. Service was also great - everyone working there was friendly and pleasant and made sure our water glasses were always full. I ordered a glass of the rose to go with dinner, and my partner had an Okanagan white. Having come here for lunch once before, we had to once again get the canned tuna to start with because it does live up to the hype. So worth it. For dinner, my partner had the gnocchi with the pulled pork add on, and wow these were some of the best gnocchi I've ever had. Double the size of your standard store bought gnocchi, it was like biting into a pillowy soft cloud of potato goodness. They were also very generous with the pulled pork, which was a welcome addition. I ordered the smoked duck breast with brown butter hollandaise, walnuts and brussel sprouts. I tasted some of the hollandaise first and I'm pretty sure my eyes closed and I let out a little moan of happiness - oh my god it was so good, such a simple idea but added so much to the dish! Everything else was great too. My duck was cooked perfectly, and I appreciated the parsnip chips on top to give each bite some texture. Our dishes were around $28, so it's a little on the pricey side, but it's a good place to come celebrate a special occasion. We didn't order the desserts because they didn't seem particularly appetizing to me, but then the table next to us got the meringue and the smores dessert. I had instant regrets when I saw how good they looked. So get a dessert if you're going to go. I can't complain, so five stars it is! read more

Went last night for dinner for the first time. The service was impeccable - they've done a great job hiring staff that clearly like food and are happy to talk about menu items and what's in them. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We were served very quickly, and the food was all delicious. They had a lot of seasonal fresh specials to offer and delicious cocktails. The atmosphere was casual, but the food was excellent and the service some of the best I've experienced in the city. Highly recommend, and I will definitely be back. Thanks for a great evening! read more
