    Whipped feta
    Logan C.

    Didn't have any drinks (they looked good though) but good vibes. They were out of a lot of food but whipped feta was good, not great

    What a hidden gem! We've ordered 2 different types of sandwiches and 4 variety of beverages (see photos). Staffs are so friendly explaining all the ingredients and very accommodating to our dietary needs. Upon entering the restaurant, we grab a menu and place order at the counter then grab a table to seat yourself. I for ambience is modern, clean and outdoor seating is also available. Parking is available on the street. I would highly recommend this place for food, coffee and wine - all of their menu selections are impressive. Bon appetite! We've ordered: Muffuletta sandwich, Fable eggplant pastrami sandwich, Rosemary latte, Lavender blossom latte, glass of Pinot Noir & Nitro Cold brew. Delicious!

    Chicken sausage breakfast sandwich
    Leilani Q.

    Enjoyed the vibes at this cafe and all the different foods that they offer. They were helpful and happy to answer any questions we had when ordering. Lattes: autumn latte and mapleine Mocha are both great options, their drinks aren't too sweet which is lovely with seasonal flavors. Although, the oat milk they use in their lattes seems too watery or not creamy enough? It might be the combo of milk to autumn latter syrup/mix though. Chicken sausage breakfast sandwich: great flavor, solid type of bread for a breakfast sandwich, ask for their hot sauce to eat with this, it was excellent! Seasonal butternut squash soup: this was creamy in texture and the oil on top went well with the soup, but for some reason this soup wasn't my favorite Masa waffle: wow the texture on this waffle is so good!! The smoked paprika butter was an interesting change and the tamarind syrup was pretty strong so a little goes a looooong way with the syrup. Make sure you dip and don't pour the syrup on the waffle. Keyyyyy

    Missed soft opening and the grand opening weekend. Hope to stop by soon (7/31/23)

    I miss Vif in Fremont, never got to Petite Soif on Beacon Hill, but this afternoon I made it a point to stop by Fable, the current business here along busy Beacon Ave S (8/2/23). This stretch from 15th Ave S to Spokane has a nice collection of cafes, bars, and restaurants to check out. After nearly an hour in I-5S traffic, I had to detour through Capitol Hill & CID just to get to Beacon Hill. Lucked out with nearby street parking, and just an fyi, Fable is located along a Metro route and reasonable walking distance from the light rail station. Fable is a lovely oasis, the interior has natural light along the tree lined street. Lush foliage throughout the space. Overhead music to chill out and relax. There's a few sidewalk tables, six indoor tables, some bar/counter seating too. And yes, there's WiFi. Fable exudes a welcoming, neighborhood vibe. Currently, they offer beverages, baked goods, and some eats. I opted for a 16oz Twin Brook Cold Brew Mocha which was very refreshing. The peanut butter cookie had a crisp sugary exterior with moist, flavorful interior crumb. Definitely a nice spot to grab some beer & wine to go, nosh on something tasty, have a pleasant meetup, or a spontaneous detour to just chill.

    Salmon sandwich - pretty substantial meal. 7/10

    TLDR - what you see is what you get here. Living in beacon hill I would say this is the best coffee shop in the area. There's gonna be something here for everyone, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and everything in between. Like I said in the tldr. If you see the photos of the establishment and like the vibe I confident you will like it here.

    I found this elegant coffee shop near where I'm staying on Beacon Hill. The place is laid out in a very comforting and relaxing fashion, serving well prepared coffee drinks and a great selection of pastries. They also have a full wine bar which makes it a great place to come anytime of the day. The staff was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. I will definitely be visiting periodically since it's an enjoyable place to hang. It is located within easy walking distance of the beacon Hill links stop. I recommend the place highly.

    Great selection of wine, non alcoholic amaros and beautiful ambiance! Staff were very friendly. I ticked off 1 star because i think they can improve on their bean spread & veggie plate. We were given a bed of raw kale and raw carrots hahaha. They had a hint of salt but between the party of three people we were extremely confused how to eat this. The carrots still had their roots & stems intact which felt like something i couldve bought from whole foods without preparing for it. Im not sure if id recommend this specific item off the menu but their orange wine tasted good.

    really love having a cafe nearby that serves delicious things. Always great service for to go or dine in - with really great cafe vibes.

    Pastry case. All made in house!
    Laura F.

    What a perfect addition to the neighborhood! I never made it in during its previous iteration, but so glad I finally visited! Great selection of food ranging from pastries and waffles, to sandwiches and quiche. Very reasonable prices They make all their pastries in house, and source their bread from Sea Wolf! Beautiful atmosphere suitable for grabbing a quick bite, getting some work done, and relaxing. Everyone I spoke to was so friendly and attentive. I especially enjoyed the cookies, breakfast sandwiches, and lavender blossom latte - and I'll definitely be back to try everything else!

    If you're looking for that perfect neighborhood wine bar where the pours are generous, the vibes…read moreare warm, and the people are unforgettable, look no further than Barrels on Mercer Island. From the moment Josh greets you, you know you're in good hands. He has a gift for recommending the right glass whether you want something bold, silky, funky, or a little adventurous. And then there's the staff--yes, Jim, I absolutely mean you. Quirky, hilarious, and genuinely passionate about wine, the Barrels crew turns a simple night out into something special every single time. The wine list is curated with care, the flights are always fun, and the small bites pair perfectly without trying too hard. It's the kind of place where you come for a drink and somehow end up staying for two more because the conversation is just that good. Barrels is more than a wine bar--it's a community living room. If you love great wine, good people, and a place that feels like home, this is it. Cheers to the Barrels team for creating a space Mercer Island didn't just need... but deserved.

I used to live within a stones throw away and was excited to discover a great local wine bar. The former owners, Tina and Joe, created the kind of spot where you can enjoy a fantastic glass of wine and relax. Josh took over, increased the food menu and added a few different touches. There is now a privacy shield on the window if you sit in a lower seat so that car headlights don't shine in your face. There are games too if you are here with a friend or few friends. As a solo person I can sit and enjoy a wine and not be bothered. Which is lovely when I want to sit, read, write and or take notes for my Yelp reviews, lol. Josh always has excellent suggestions. I trust his taste implicitly. If I don't know what I want, I tell him what I like, and he will make a great suggestion. Barrels is a perfect spot to do it! It is also a great spot to pregame if you have plans in the city. Within walking distance to the park and ride.Do it! Drink good wine and live your best life. Support local businesses. Barrels is a perfect spot to do it! SYOY!

BEST IDEA EVER. It was legitimately one of the best dinners I have ever had. There were 9 courses total, and everything the chef brought out was incredible. The service was wonderful and personal and attentive from the chef to the bartender to the wine director. So while I already would recommend this place to any serious fan of Italian cuisine, I cannot speak highly enough of the Nonnakase experience. Absolutely worth every penny. Also the bathrooms are delightful. Great vibe, don't miss out.

    My wife loves this place because they make their noodles from scratch, or so they say. I was super…read morestoked to try this place....again. And then I recalled why I didn't want to come back from the first experience. First, the location is unique, and I really appreciate that this business is trying to keep Georgetown alive with cool quirky places to eat. This def fits the bill. But, I couldn't help but notice the political statement taped to the front window, super classy. I dine out to escape my day. I don't need it thrown in my face at dinner. Next, when the menus were brought to us, it was for their 3 course restaurant week special. $50 per person, and there are two choices per course. My family all chose what we wanted and then waited for the meal. Like previous reviewers, the wine is brought out in oversized shot glasses not really, but might as well be). I get that in Italy, dinner wine (peasant fare) is served in cups, not stemware, but $18 for mediocre wine, I'd like to see a more appropriate pour. Lamb Polpettine was essentially lamb meatballs on a cold and very loose polenta with what was described as salsa diavola, but it was essentially a chunky red sauce. There was nothing about this that wowed us. In fact, it was pretty bland overall and underwhelming. But the manner in which you are greeted and served at the restaurant and the remainder of service, you would think it was going to change how you felt about food. I don't even want to go into the salad. Again, underwhelming. The mains came out and although tasty, the portions were very small compared to the price we paid. And if you opt for the truffle, it's finely grated and it covers the entire plate. Also, it's an extra $12......for less than $2 worth of black truffle. It absolutely ruined the dish. An educated server would be able to caution against it, if, of course it wasn't intended to raise the final price, essentially raising the tip. If you order risotto there, be fair warned, it is extremely loosed and not very well made imo. Bland, lacks imagination, and the rice grains were cracked and soggy on the ends and crunchy in the middle.. Last was the dessert. Again, it was tasty, but it comes in these tiny jars that equal about 2-3 spoonfuls of either panna cotta, or tiramisu. At the end of our meal, the bill was over $250. For that price, I could have eaten somewhere where I could have left a little more satisfied and felt like I was actually in an upscale restaurant, not a political statement masquerading as fine dining. Having worked food for a long time, I felt obligated to leave the customary 20% gratuity knowing full well the workers there made their "living wage" before the gratuity kicks in. It included an additional 2% to pay for employee health insurance. Isn't that an employer cost? Why put that on the check? Anyway, out the door for $300 and vowing never to come back. Buyer beware.

    Bottlehouse - Lovely little spot to spend an afternoon! Will definitely come back again

We didn't experience any of the hiccups we experienced last year and very much enjoyed the wine and food and ambience. They offered tastes of five different sparkling from France, Spain, Italy and Germany. The flavors and degree of bubbles varied and were all very enjoyable in different ways. The woman at the tasting station was great--she provided short but informative tales of each of the wines (a little about the grapes, the vineyard, fun facts about the wineries, etc). We bought three different bottles of some of the wines we tasted which were reasonably priced ($28-$40 per bottle). My husband loved the oysters and ordered an additional 6 of the wildcats. I had the mushroom toast which had great meaty and earthy flavor. I also tried the spruce tip ice cream which was pine-y and unique and very creative (covered in quinoa crispies!). Service was friendly and speedy. My husband and I love Bottlehouse and recommend for anyone looking for unique wines and creative comfort foods in a cozy environment

    I swear I have the most jekyl and Hyde experience here…read more I'm a regular for the past 3 years, sometimes I come and the really nice waitress is there who is so knowledgeable about French wine, cider and champagne. Last time the owner himself was there talking to us and he was amazing. But sometimes I come in and there is different staff that is so mean. This time I drove all the way from Queen Anne, and the lady looked at us (we are younger) and rolled her eyes and put us in the worst seat imaginable and asked if we had reservations. Then another older couple came in after with no reservations two minutes later and she graciously escorted them to the main room. Kinda an L because we are regulars and big spenders here. I got up and left.
