"We knew this was going to be a special dining experience from the moment we were greeted upon arrival until our departure. The staff was warm and cordial and very attentive to us. We were allowed to proceed with our dining experience at our own pace and this allowed for a great deal of conversation with good friends. The food was exceptional and was very nicely presented. The menu had something unique for everyone. The wine and drink selections were outstanding. Bluffton should be proud and thankful that it has such a great eating establishment in town. Congratulations on a job well done."

"The food wasn't bad, just hard to believe they charge such high prices for mediocre food. I'd pay those prices for fine dining in Fort Wayne, so I was a little let down. The place looked great, but there were only a few tables sat while we were there so it was a bit uncomfortable while trying to have a conversation because it was so quiet."

"We drove from Fort Wayne to Bluffton to TW Fable to celebrate our Anniversary! It was well worth the drive. The food was amazing and the service was great! Everything we ate and drank was a joy to the tastebuds! The weather was unseasonably cold and rainy, so we weren't able to enjoy the beautiful outside seating. We will be back for that and the food! TW Fable is a gem!"

"We had such a great experience at TWFable, as always! We love getting to try new and unique cuisine! We were so surprised and grateful for our free dessert in honor of our anniversary! That was at least the 3rd time we were given something free while dining there...definitely keeps us coming back - to be treated so well!"

"I enjoy every visit to this restaurant. Having just recently relocated to the FW, Indiana area from Chicago, one of the things I miss most is the unlimited food options. TW Fables helps bridge the gap. The dishes are always rotating and changing, so there is never a reason to get bored. The food is fresh, creative and handled with care. Our service is always great, on our most recent visit, our server remembered our drink and food orders from the previous visit (it has been over three weeks). The wine list is extensive, you are sure to find a glass or bottle of wine to compliment your food selection. We are looking forward to late summer dinners on their large patio area."

"Very good dining experience at tw fable. My wife had the sesame tuna and I had the prime rib. Both dishes were well prepared. Both were perfectly medium rare, fresh, and full of flavor. The salad course (tw fable salad) was fine in flavor but almost an afterthought compared to the rest of the meal. Crab cake appetizer was very good. Full of crab with not too much breading; probably could have used a bit more sauce on the plate. For dessert we had the apple tart, which was plenty big enough to split. Wonderful dessert with a shortbread like taste and texture and an excellent caramel cinnamon sauce. Overall, the meal was a delight and the restaurant is an asset to the small town of Bluffton. Worth the 45 min. drive. We will be back!!"

"We waited to be seated for close to fifteen minutes (that is with a reservation and no one else waiting, with our table open and ready!). Then there were a handful of items on the menu that our waitress kept saying, "oh, we JUST ran out of that." And i understand that, to a point, but how do you run out of liquor and vanilla ice cream?! At least offer a discount for the $9 dessert that didn't even come with the ice cream it was supposed to! My friends and i all agree we will not be going back and felt like we spent too much money and couldn't even order the things we wanted. The restaurant does have great ambience, but this was my third and probably last time at TW Fable."

"We have been to TW Fables many times, and it continues to be impressive. They continue to do the seasonal theme on their menu, but the format of their menu has changed -- for the better. The new format is easy to read and the larger titles direct your eye to what you are looking for. The service is top-notch and they came back several times to check on us. My wife and I were there for her birthday and we had a special desert for the celebration -- a bread pudding made with glazed donuts (yummy!). The only minor concern I would have would be the small side salad that they now serve with their dinners -- there is not much imagination to it. However, we will continue to come back w/ the excellent food."

"TW Fable was recommended to us by a friend. We were looking for a special place to celebrate our 31st anniversary. What a great experience. The sesame encrusted tuna was outstanding, the service excellent. Above all the presentation of the food was beautiful. We arrived early and had the restaurant to ourselves. As other guests arrived, even though we knew no one,(we are from Ft Wayne)we were treated like next door neighbors.
We especially like the attention from the owner. He even produced a specially presented desert for our anniversary.

"A wonderful venue for excellent/fine dining in Bluffton, an easy drive from Ft. Wayne. Excellent menu, imaginative special, the seasonal tart is a must, the wine list rivals any from here to Chicago. However the choice of background music was nearly all s
Sinatra ballads, great for those who love it but too too much for us.
Hope to return soon for a great dining experience.
