"A coworker recommended this place and the food was great and not high priced. The ambiance was nice so you could make it a special event as they have a private party room, a romantic dinner or bring a group of friends.
We are going back for Mothers Day."

"First time trying Fab's. I'm a big eggplant parm lover and ordered it that night. It was disappointing to say the least. I got the feeling that the eggplant was the frozen prepared variety as it was heavily breaded and not very tasty. My girlfriend got the chopped salad, which was good and we got the heirloom tomato and burrata salad as an appetizer. That was very good. Overall, I wouldn't return. The atmosphere was good and the service was terrific."

"We were shocked and very disappointed with our experience at Fab's. Not only did they not have certain things on their menu, they could not, or would not put pesto on their side pasta for us. This is an Italian Restaurant, that should be the easiest request. They should have pesto made and ready to plop on anything! They had a poor attitude and clearly haven't learned the lesson that the customer should be happy. We have zero treason to return...what a shame. I would never recommend it."

"In a pinch we dined at "FAB". The staff were friendly (including the hostess who slumped in her chair the entire evening doing her home work) and the bus staff kept the water flowing. The food was fair and not great by any means. This place is good to have a drink and watch a hockey/baseball game or to just sit at the bar and enjoy a drink. I give "FAB" 2.5 stars."

"The last time we dined here, the restaurant was dropped to a "B" rating. Management said it was because the manager didn't have his ID with him during the inspection which mandates an automatic one grade drop. This time, we called before making the reservation and were told the "A" was back. Upon arriving, the "B" was still in the window. When asked why we were given wrong information, we were told we spoke with the kitchen staff who didn't understand the question. We love the food and the service but won't be going back until the "A" grade returns."

"Our Waiter Jason was terrific! We took my Mom (98 years young) for dinner. We all had a great meals. Jason had the kitchen split the order of Chicken Marsala for me and my Mom The Kitchen split a large order of the house salad as well. Jason recommended a Spanish wine that was delicious! Can't say enough about the evening. Thanks"

"Very disappointed in our last visit. Service was slow, drinks took a long time. We
asked for salad with dressing on the side and the salad was served with the dressing.
Eggplant parmesan had very little sauce, part of it had none. Can't see any reason to return."
