“ Took our daughter for her 13th birthday, and the whole experience was amazing! The staff could not have been nicer and truly made us feel special, and the food is to die for. It's pricey but so worth it; a true hidden gem ”

“ We went to La Fable to celebrate our 1st Anniversary. It was recommended by no less than 90 people on the Rehoboth Foodies Facebook group. The place reminds me of a chic Paris cafe. The service is pleasant and not intrusive. We were given complimentary champagne for a toast. The food was outstanding. My husband had Chicken Cordon Bleu. I had Coquille St Jacque. Both were perfect. The chocolate mouse with Chantilly was mouth watering as was his Crème Brulé. It is a little pricey but worth every penny for a special occasion. ”

“ The first time I was in Rehoboth, I saw La Fable from the outside and immediately tried to book a table, but it was booked up. This trip, I made sure to secure one and we were not disappointed by our visit! This restaurant is so cute, the service was phenomenal, from our server to everyone who delivered and cleared dishes, the vibes were friendly, happy, and bubbly. To start, we ordered the oeufs mimosa, which were delicious. My main dish was the scallops, which were fresh, big, and delicious. My husband had the canard (duck), and it was stellar. We finished with the crème brûlée, which was honestly one of THE best I've ever had. Safe to say, we finished every bite. It was worth the wait and I can't wait to come back to La Fable to try more! ”

“ This is an adorable French restaurant! Once you walk in you are transported to France. We had the escargot- so plump and juicy - for our appetizer. For our meals we had duck and scallops. Flavors were wonderful. The scallops came with a side of cauliflower. Totally enjoyed the ambiance. Take a moment to enjoy the stained glass bar top! ”

“ We popped in here for a cocktail before dinner somewhere else because it looked so fun from the outside. The building is very art deco, and while it is below street level, there is a big window in the bar letting you see in (and out). The bar itself leans heavily into the French bistro theme, and the bar has stained glass under the glass that is lit up. The vibe is very fun. There was also a musician behind part of the bar, who was singing lounge music and playing a keyboard, which was a nice addition. I'm taking off points for the fly infestation and the general mess behind the bar, but that could have been an anomaly. ”

“ A really nice, cozy, upscale option in Rehoboth. The restaurant is located down a small flight of stairs and is pretty intimate inside. It was my partner's birthday and there was a small card on our table signed by the entire staff, which was a nice touch. Almost everything we had was delicious, but there were two standouts: (1) the oeufs mimosa (deviled eggs). These were some of the best deviled eggs I've ever had- the crispy shallots and sauce that topped the bed of greens made this dish so flavorful. (2) The Chambord cake. It is so rare to see layer cake on dessert menus now, and this was spectacular. It's a pretty sizable slice of cake with the fluffiest fresh buttercream and raspberry jam layer. I am still thinking about this cake a month later! The only thing I would not recommend was the halibut- it was a bit fishy and not our favorite dish. ”

“ A classic French restaurant? It depends on your perspective. La Fable represents the cooking of the Ile de France - there is little representation of the food of the Sud-Ouest, of Alsace -Lorraine, of Provence, or the Bordelaise. We celebrated an anniversary on a fall Monday, the restaurant being about half full. A Negroni was large, well made, and quite potent, something of a bargain at $14.00. La Portena's Boursicottes Sancerre was crisp. Some warm slices of baguette arrived, with good butter at the right temp for service. For a starter, I had the torchon of foie gras, which came with a sort of breadstick, on a plate. The thick disk of foie gras had plenty of flavor and was accompanied by a sort of bloom of fruit conserves and cherries. The bread stick was inadequate, but I availed myself of the leftover bread service. La Portena went with the La Fable salad, a nice mix if slightly overdressed. The entrees are all $42, which may seem a bit pricey. I plumped for the scallops. They weren't the largest but were tasty and fresh. They came in a mushroom sauce, not the usual Coquille St. Jacques presentation. Pretty good, but the nice surprise was the crisp and well seasoned side of fried cauliflower. La Portena's halibut was thick and properly cooked. We shared a piece of the Chambord cake. Luscious if not the most sophisticated dessert I've encountered recently. Overall, a tasty if not exactly innovative meal. I would return. ”

“ What a dreamy French food meal we had at the cute little spot right near our beach condo! Came to celebrate our daughter's 25th birthday and were treated like royalty. We started off with some fancy cocktails and a lovely card from the staff, wishing our daughter well. So thoughtful and a nice touch for a special evening! Our family is cheese crazy, so of course we indulged in our first course with a fromage board loaded with cheese, crostini's, spreads and pickles. I love soup, and the chilled sweet pea soup caught my eye. So glad to have tried this as it was so flavorful and creamy. By then were were all getting full, so we ordered two main dishes to share amongst the four of us. The Poulet cordon bleu came as a fried chicken breast stuffed with melty gruyere and prosciutto and topped with a Dijon mustard sauce and a side of mixed vegetables. Could not get enough of this flavor combo! But even better yet was the boeuf bourguignon, an unctuous plate full of braised short ribs, mushrooms, pearl onions and carrots over creamy silky whipped potatoes. I could live in that dish! If that all wasn't enough, the staff and kitchen surprised us at the end with a plate of homemade macarons to celebrate the milestone event. What a special way to cap off an incredible meal experience. We will most certainly be back to this wonderful dining spot. ”

“ Early dinner Sat night at 5 and we were alone. Our fault as we should have made reservations earlier in the week. By the time we left the place was packed. We were told it was a limited but fabulous menu and they were right. Started with the Foie Gras - be aware it is one slice for $25 but oh man what flavor. My wifey had the Cheese board, the best was the creamy cow, and she shared a bit with me. I had the Bouillabaisse, with tons of mussels, clams, large shrimp and nice hunks of meaty white Cod in a wine and saffron sauce so flavorful without being overwhelming and completed with two baguettes slathered in butter and garlic, yum. She had the duck breast cooked medium by request and it was moist and and so good. Loved this meal, service was great, we will be back. ”
