Fabian's Italian Bistro & Bar

My friend and I went here for dessert after Mexican food at El Balcon. We sat at the bar, the bartender was very nice and helped us decide on which dessert to try. We split the Cream Brûlée and the flourless Chocolate Cake. They were both magnificent. The Brûlée was creamy with a fresh raspberry compote on top of the sugar shell. My friend had never had Cream Brûlée, needless to say, I got 2.5 bites of it. The flourless chocolate cake was just as divine as the Brûlée. It was dense, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness. It was served with a healthy scoop of fresh whipped cream. Both of these desserts were decadent and masterfully delicious. I will be back to try dinner! Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the desserts. I did however, take a pic of their 1942 tequila This restaurant would be a perfect date night place, the ambiance was bougie and elegant. Quiet and tucked in the perfect spot in the middle of the center it is located.

I'm sorry to say but this place was kinda disappointing :(Myself and my boyfriend had been looking forward to trying Fabian's for a while and decided to have a date night here. We don't get many evenings to spend quality time together, between work and kids etc. I was excited. We were shown to our table and were seated in an area that was closed off to everything, not particularly a romantic setting at all. Lights bright etcIt took them a long time to come and take our order. Once our food arrived they didn't check on us throughout our evening and at one point we had to ask for our server so we could order another drink. Then once the check arrived it took another long amount of time for them to come and check us out. For the price of the food here I would have expected a much better service. Doubt I will visit again.

Came in Friday, we always have heard good things about this place and driving by all the time in the Fairoaks shopping center we see it and we thought we'd stop in for a try . My husband an I were my husband and I were hassled by the hostess for not having a reservation? Very rude people that I noticed were here because our waitress was the same way. When we did finally get a seat.When our food got to our table, it was cold, not too cold, but colder than expected,And bland and flavor. Definitely needed salt and when I had asked the waitress for bread and water refills, I got an eye roll. !!! And when I talk to a manager about my servers experience, and mine, and my husband's overall experience, we were told she was handling an issue? Truth be told, she was too busy losing her mind over what I guess was a trunk or treat happening behind the building? From what I understood and heard from our horrible waitress, was that the manager was losing her mind over music was too loud and she was too busy trying to handle what we thought was a mediocre issue. Being that we sat outside, the music was not that loud! and the music being played across the way at this business was actually not that bad and really brought an upbeat to the environment. I didn't see a problem? Especially when you have a business to run and customers to talk to, getting loud getting mad over a event specifically to make happy, shows a lot about the characters stick that this business hires and their staff.We definitely will not be coming back, and we definitely will be spreading the word Of mouth.

Such a cute local gem! We sat at the bar, loved that. Bartender last night was great! We started with the mussels (good) and burrata (I'd prob try something different next time), focaccia (excellent) but things really took off from there. The old fashioneds? Perfection. The tagliatelle boscaiola - pasta and applewood smoked bacon? So good--hearty yet not too heavy. And then... the absolute star of the night: the butterscotch pudding. Hands down the best I've ever had in my life. My only regret? Not ordering a coffee with it. The whole place has a cozy, local vibe, nestled in a charming little courtyard. 10/10 cute vibes!

We came in on Saturday night,requested patio seating thinking we'd have a heater but waitress said only in the back section.That was a bummer but luckily I have a blanket in my car.My mom ordered the chicken picatti,I had the vodka penne and my husband had the special- some type of stuffed noodle.We all loved our dishes! I also ordered 2 orders of Focaccia bread,that bread is amazing definitely double up on that to soak up the tasty sauce in your dish.We also got pumpkin brûlée,butterscotch pudding and flourless chocolate cake.All amazing! Great service, we love the patio! Inside looks cozy so we'll definitely request a booth inside for upcoming winter!I found the patio without heaters little too chilly

We came here with a large party for brunch, and had a wonderful experience. I ordered the Short Rib Benedict (eggs poached hard) and it was SO delicious. Spectacular hollandaise sauce, yummy short ribs, pepperonata (sautéed peppers and onions), and the BEST roasted potatoes i've ever had!!!!! The yukon gold potatoes were soft on the interior, wonderfully crispy on the outside, and encrusted with the best flavors and spices. Wow. The mimosas were tasty too. All in all, a great time.

First time here and the service by Rebecca was excellent. We did not make a reservation because we found this place on yelp last minute. We were lucky enough to get a seat at the bar so we could transfer to a bigger dinner table when one opened up. They were smart to transfer the drinks onto the same server that helped us originally at the bar which was smart.Let's start off by saying the cocktails were all really great. We had a French 75, white wine, red wine, espresso Martini and an old fashion. So good! Rebecca definitely recommend the persimmons beet salad and it was really delicious. The gnocchi was devine and I wished I ordered the potatoe leek soup next time. We got the short rib and fettuccini bolognese and was the perfect size and amount of food. The flavor was definitely there and the noodles were eldente. As far as the ambiance, I like how the booth seating was very private and cozy. The high wall were really the best for having a great private conversation over amazing Italian food and wine. We definitely will return!!

This is one of those "hidden gems" that is located in a strip mall.The drinks: apparently they are known for their cocktails, and the Old Fashioned I ordered was perfect!The food: Italian themed, the focaccia bread is $6 per order but fresh and worth it! The entrees were tasty, my husband thinks the portion sizes were too small.The ambiance: I can only speak to the outside area which is romantic and very classy! The service: Overall, very friendly and efficient.

Went here for Sunday brunch. They take reservations, which is nice. At 11am, they were not too busy. Still some empty tables and patio seating available. I got the lobster Benedict and it was good. Lots of big pieces of lobster like claw meat. I also got their tiramisu and enjoyed that was well. Service was great. Water was constantly being refilled. Plenty of parking. Appeared they have heat towers outside for those chilly dinner nights. Would return if ever in the area.

I came here with my husband tonight on Valentine's Day.First time ever here and left disappointed ..They had a fixed menu which was $109 per person. (Did not come with a drink) Only a three course meal was served like the plates were appetizers..Took atleast 20 min per course to be delivered which was understandable but for the size of the plate didn't match the wait time.Cocktails were $15 each which is way over priced.The setting and decor of the restaurant did not match the prices or the food that was served.( It gave small dinner cafe, if ykyk )The risotto lacked salt and it came with 4 pieces of protein like cmon, 109 a person? Insane. Won't be returning.
