    Today's meal was not up to par with previous meals at Fabian's. Today's menu was lackluster, and the food prep was equal to any "pancake house". Not much else to say.

    It felt like an upscale hidden gem. The food and drinks were good, and the atmosphere was great. It also has a really nice large patio that I will be trying in warmer weather. I’ll be back!

    We love Fabian’s and always enjoy the outdoor patio if the weather permits it? The menu is always exciting, especially with the specials, along with a wonderful wine list. Great service and ambience. We love it! David Dellinger
