Reviews for Fable & Spirit in Newport Beach, CA

Great food and atmosphere for Sunday brunch. The sourdough pancakes were amazing! The steelhead salmon was perfectly prepared.... Each dish was beautiful. The reason for not giving five stars is the corned beef sweet potato hash was cooked in a sauce thatwas a touch too smoky sweet, almost barbecue in flavor. Read more

The cocktail (Just the two of us) was only ok. Spirit forward as advertised but not a lot of nuance. The food came out quickly.... We just got small plates to share, so no comment on the large plates. They were flavorful overall, but nothing spectacular. Thebone marrow was quite rich on the bread, and the hamburger meat was actually pretty juicy. Patio seating was nice given theweather but might be too hot during the day. Read more

Fable & Spirit has a great location and beautiful interior. The food is good. The drinks are better. Louis, the bartender was... very knowledgeable and passionate about the cocktails and had good recommendations. I'd dine here more often if they changedthe menu... I've had most of the small plates already and tried something different... The mussels were delicious! I ate themall. I saw fish & chips on the menu and although it's not something I'd normally order, I gave it a shot. OMG! So good. Thefish was nice and flaky, didn't taste deep fried and the mashed peas were delicious. The "chips" though were not house made andtasted like styrofoam (sorry Fable) Short rib was also good, but nothing special. All in all, it was a great experience andI'll be back! Read more

Impressive foods! We just came here for drinks and also ordered a couple of appetizers. And surprisingly their foods are very... delicious. I recommend the two appetizers that we have tried which are Brussel sprouts and pork belly. The drinks are nice aswell. I also love the restaurant?s design. Read more

Talk about challenging your taste buds. Even with my eyes open I was surprised. No blind taste test needed. Octopus was grilled... perfectly. My main course was perfectly moist and flavors that just kept me digging at my plate. Read more

If you?re looking for a dose of London in Orange County this place is a must. For starters the design is inviting yet dim with a... beautiful bar. Cozy setting with a great vibe. Drinks: The drinks are awesome! Great selection and all in all well done. Food:Global cuisine. Lots of great items on the menu. My favorite was the yellowtail appetizer and the PEI mussels were great andpizzette were amazing! The Hangar steak was pretty good but nothing I can brag about. Dessert: the blueberry coffee cake wasBOMB and a must! Definitely get it at the end and you will not leave disappointed. Service: Chad was our waiter and he didgreat. Very nice and knew the menu and had great remarks for food and drinks. All in all, lovely setting and great drinks withOK food. Service is great but also dies down quick but that?s just a thing with this area. Definitely worth trying out! Read more

This place is a true delight. The cocktails were perfection, especially for those who enjoy the more booze forward cocktail.... Amazing wine selection. The crispy chicken sandwich and truffle fries are the best I?ve had in Newport. Can not wait to go againto try more ????????. The waiter (Brian I think was his name) is a good soul and very attentive! lastly the ambiance and decoris so cozy and chic. Pretty amazing spot. Read more

Wow? this restaurant has amazing food. I usually get average food at best in most of the restaurants in Irvine, but this time... was different. Every single item we had was exceptional. I have to say, their dessert needs some more work to be as good as therest. But I still give them 5 stars. Read more
