Fabrik is an absolute gem! As a vegetarian (not vegan) I absolutely loved almost all their dishes and did not find myself missing cream/butter that I normally find that I miss in vegan food. Each dish was full of flavor and extremely satisfying. My husband, who is stoutly a carnivore with a huge appetite, loved his meal as well and walked away full. Prices currently when we went was $85 for 7 courses, which I thought was an extremely fair price considering you could go other high end restaurants and spend that much for only an appetizer and main course. This place is great for special occasion or intimate date night and I appreciate there is a high end vegetarian dining option for those who want to have a special celebration. It is a very cozy and intimate space without being pretentious. Our waitress was great and carefully attended to us. My dad is handicapped and I appreciate there were accommodations for him.
The restaurant only sits 16 people at time in dinner service. There are two separate seating areas, one upstairs and one downstairs near the kitchen. If you want a more private, moody setting, I would suggest asking to be sat in the upstairs area. If you do not mind a slightly louder ambiance and seeing the kitchen prepare the dishes, than the downstairs area would be best. I lucked out on getting reservations via Open Table two days prior to our dinner – the restaurant staff mentioned that they are booked fully until February 2025 but that if you keep checking the table about 2 days before your desired date tables reservations sometime open up. I would not recommend a reservation greater than 4 people – we had 4 people for our reservation and it took up the table. Almost all their tables are for groups of 2-4 people.
Food wise our menu consisted of amuses (appetizers) that consisted of crispy potato croquette, pasta (gondolini) and braised daikon dish. My favorite was the croquette. It followed with focaccia (which was to die for and so buttery), parker house rolls, roasted carrot chowdah (which was deliciously smoky and yummy which is saying something as I hate carrots), charred mushrooms served on polenta, butternut squash agnolliti and two desserts one cacao mousse tart and ice cream served with great apple compote. All the dishes I had were deliciously yummy and after the meal I was very full.
Parking wise there is free parking on Leona street or...

Read moreI am absolutely thrilled to share this review. As I have stated before I tend to usually only review restaurants that leave a strong impression either negative or positive. Well this was a homerun. First, I mixed up my reservation time and arrived 30 minutes early and they were very gracious and accommodating while I waited. I had brought my date a large bouquet of flowers which they provided a vase and water for to rest on our table. Beyond friendly and professional service they were incredibly knowledgeable about where the food was sourced from and all the various regions wine was precured from. I am not a vegetarian/vegan, but it didn't matter one bit. The food was wonderful! Every course was delightful with exotic flavors and extensive tones and textures. Such incredible combinations I would never have considered. As far as the atmosphere, we were nestled in a cozy corner that felt part Star Ship Enterprise meets Paris France. Also, I was a bit nervous discussing some delicate news with my date and the wait team was so respectful trying their best to give us privacy, while also hitting it out of the park to deliver a 5* experience. Yes, this is a pricey restaurant, but absolutely worth it and a true dining experience and memory creation. Don't miss out and book your reservation now before they change the seasonal menu, so you may capitalize...
