    Avocado toast
    Veronica P.

    The service at Chez Fabian was outstanding! The ambience is quaint and clean. My hamburger was made as I requested and was really good, seasoned well, and the bun was tasty. The French fries were skinny, but good enough. It's a little pricey, but it's right on Main Street so it's and worth stopping in.

    French dip

    Stopped by for lunch whilst wandering down Main Street. It was busy but we found a seat at the bar. The bar tenders were friendly and attentive. We were given waters and menus promptly. My husbands old fashioned was just okay, my French 75 was great he gave me extra champagne on the side. I got a French dip sandwich watch was good my husband got a Cuban which was very bland just tasted like a ham sandwich. He also got the French onion soup which he likes. The vibe was cool, I would come back and try something else on the menu when in town.

    The soggiest Cuban sandwich ever with the most wimpy, undercooked fries ever.

    Had such high hopes for this place. Got seated relatively quickly and waited on. Coffee was very strong but quite good. Based upon reviews and waiter recommendation, I ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries. The top part of the sandwich was crispy but the bottom bread was completely soggy and falling apart. My hands were covered in grease. Ended up eating it with a fork and knife and left the bread behind. Will say that the pork and ham had great flavor and amazing texture. Too bad about the grease. The fries for both my SO and I were just horrible. They were half raw, soggy, and bland. Guess bright side is it kept me from eating too many? My SO enjoyed his Club sandwich. He said it could've been better, but he ate it all. It is a cute place in downtown Grapevine. Perhaps we caught it on a bad day. Will say the ladies next to us ordered various salads that came out smelling like a porta-potty. So, salads may be off for me as well.

    Was in grapevine for work and wanted something close to the hotel for dinner.. WOW! Can we talk about these truffle fries? Truly unreal. I would come back simply for them!! The atmosphere is cool - they had live music! Our waitress was awesome! Wine selection was good. I got the fries and then mushroom risotto for dinner and they both were excellent!! I do suggest reservations - just to be safe! It was quite busy!

    Wow - really good! As we were flying out of DFW early in the morning and staying near Grapevine overnight - we needed a place for dinner. My wife booked a reservation at Chez Fabien. We arrived half hour early and they were able to seat of as a nice corner booth. The both was tall and had soft fabric on the setbacks. Good thing as it helped with the sound in the place. So the booth was comfortable but the sound was rather loud - some parties louder than others. No worries - I popped by AirPods in :) Our waiter was Alex. He was very pleasant. We ordered cocktails and told Alex we were taking the night slow as our entry time into offsite parking was for 2 hours later. The wife and I both ordered their French Old Fashioned. They were really nice and only $13. Later, we ordered the Calamari appetizer. It too was really good. It came with two dipping sauces and there were some fried veggies in addition to the calamari. The kitchen here is freaky fast. It could not have been more than 5 minutes and the appetizer was brought to the table by a runner. A while later, we ordered dinner. We shared their Beef Bourguignon. It was very tasty and was plenty to share. For dessert, we ordered a slice of Italian Cream Cake to go for eating later, back at the hotel. Oh my gosh, the slice was huge and was so fresh and moist. It could be the best I've ever had. The menu here at Chez Fabien has a lot to offer. If you don't think you care for French food, you will still find plenty of options that will please you. And for downtown Grapevine, I also felt the price was nice for the drinks and food.

    My sister in law recommended Chez Fabien, saying it was her fav spot to grab dinner near the airport. It was quite a busy Sunday with an all day street festival taking place, and the experience may have been a bit different on our visit but bff and I came in for dinner before I dropped him to DFW. I loved my French old fashioned. We started with the baked Brie, omg!!!!! Sooooo good. The bread was insane delish! and T H I C K!!! I ordered the truffle ravioli and a side Caesar salad. My meal was so tasty! I can totally see how this is my sister's fav spot in Grapevine. I'll definitely be returning. It may become my regular dinner spot as I drop guest to the airport.

    Bri with wild mushroom
    Tobie C.

    We stopped in for a late lunch, without a reservation, and the wait was about 20 minutes. They text you when your table is ready so we could shop around and not waste time waiting. Definitely a busy place but wasn't too bad with no reservation. The building was lovely! Such a cool space and loved the lighting. We started with a Brie and wild mushroom appetizer and I'm sad I don't remember the official name because it was fantastic. The combination of it all was so tasty. After that we weren't super hungry so we all three split the Parmesan fries, Cuban sandwich, and a Rueben. So glad we did as the portions were generous. Everything was phenomenal. The birthday girl with us still raves about the sandwiches as one of her favorite parts of the day! Overall great service, unique tasty food, and just a fun place you should try.

    Warm Brie
    April R.

    Ambiance - chill, great vibes, and I liked the booth table set-ups Service - amazing! Food - everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the warm brie. It was topped with slices of shiitake mushroom and paird with soft bread. It was perfect! Also a must try is the mushroom risotto

    Panini
    Mari P.

    The food here was wonderful. I can never pass up a smoked salmon Benedict and my friends had their paninis. Desert was creme Brule which I can never pass up either. It was delicious!!! Parking can be challenging especially during the weekend but there are Parking lots in the back and across the street near Napoli's. It seem small from the outside but does seat quite a bit inside. They have a pastry shop next door that is just as tasty as Vie a Paris behind NE Mall. I would love to go again. Oh, their Texas Bloody Mary was delish as well.

    Escargots with puff pastry in a pesto-like sauce
    Melissa H.

    This is one of our family's go-to restaurants in town where we are consistently met with friendly service and foodie-level cuisine that feels like an American-French-Italian fusion. During a long flight layover yesterday, my aunt picked me up and we dropped in so she could have breakfast and I could have whatever looked delicious. We were seated right away in the back right, just beyond the bar, at the cozy covered bench seats. Even at 11 a.m., the place was already pretty busy. We ordered coffees--regular and iced--to start. She then ordered an omelette that came complete with house potatoes. I wasn't very hungry, so I asked for a recommendation between the mushroom bruschetta and the escargots appetizer. I was told the escargot was lighter. Done. The escargot was a nice choice, though it was still a little heavy given all the French bread slices that I definitely used soak up all the leftover "juices"--a light mix of the oil from the pesto sauce. Never leave the juices behind! This was a unique presentation in that it had a buttery puff pastry on top, which was delicious. The meat itself was slightly smaller and with a distinct and unusual flavor than I'm used to, but the pesto sauce was the co-star with the puff pastry. Tip: Go early if you can to avoid the rush!

    Lamb burger and Brussel sprouts
    Caroline K.

    I went here to celebrate my mom's birthday because of her love for France and how great of an area this restaurant is located in. The ambiance was nice, dark lighting and it was quiet and very easy to socialize. Most of the food was great, our appetizers of baked brie and bread and the mushroom flatbread were fantastic. I wasn't a huge fan of the Brussel sprouts, they had too much sauce and it was too sweet. The lamb burger was okay, but nothing special, it could have been better seasoned. However, the crepe was fantastic, as to be expected at a French restaurant. The service was attentive, and at the end of our meal we got chocolate cake for my mom's birthday and it was fudgy and rich and delicious.

    This is not our first time here. We just keep on coming back! Food is sumptuous! Service is 5 star. Love the ambience. The live music on Saturdays is wonderful! The 2.5 hour wait this past Saturday was worth it! We just had to stroll along Main St and enjoyed Christmas lights and decors and Christmas spirit.

    Fantastic Nepalese/Indian cuisine on Main Street!…read more We stopped by Karma and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient! Apps: Chili Momos (Veg) and Gobi Manchurian - the momos were super crispy and the sauce was very spicy in a good way! The Manchurian was so saucy and packed with flavor. Recommend both! Mains: Himalayan Thukpa, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta - the Thukpa was the highlight! The broth was perfectly salty with a great umami taste. The Malai Kofta was rich and I enjoyed the cheesy koftas. The Palak Paneer was tasty, but I enjoyed the malai and thukpa more! Dessert: Pistachio Cheesecake - delicious! More like a pistachio ice cream cake, but it was so good and not too sweet! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal! Will absolutely be back!

The Himalayan thali was the highlight naan so soft it felt like clouds, and lentil curry that carried deep, cozy flavors. The chowmein with lamb and chicken had that smoky stir-fry kick, and the momos were a joy to try. The butter tikka momos were creamy and rich, while the choila momos with the chef's sauce brought a spicy spark that stayed with me. The drinks matched the season perfectly. The Gurkhas Old Fashioned was smooth with a twist, and the hot rum punch felt like warmth in a glass just right for winter. The place itself was cozy, with a vibe that made me want to linger. Even during busy hours the staff stayed friendly, though the food took a little longer to arrive. Still, the service felt welcoming. Altogether, the mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere made the evening memorable in its own way.

Our server works at another location and told my friend about this place I feel horrible I can't remember her name right now but she's a ginger super sweet and took care of us and answered all of our crazy questions.

(Photo didn't turn out) My friend had the burger & french fries so I got to try them and they were also delicious. Inside a dark and moody and cool and temperature so you can come in and get out of the heat enjoy a cocktail and a nice lunch. It's nice to not be under such bright light and crowded places.

Happy hour is from 2-6 mon-fri and has half off wine, cocktails, martinis and $10 on a few different appetizers. Great pricing for the quality of drinks you're getting and they have something for everyone. Food was also on point and great for sharing. Tried the popcorn chicken and spicy tuna crispy rice - both things go great with the beverages. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Only gripe is they add a rather large "Beverage Surcharge" of ~13.5% (came out to $19.5 for a $144.5 pre-tax bill that included a few food items) which was a bit shocking. Only explanation we got was that "everyone does it". Aside from that, this place is a solid spot to go.

    Hoppin' Grapevine is an interesting concept! You check in, put a card on file and get a wristband…read more Food and specialty cocktails is order via a QR code at tables. They do let you know that there is an automatic 20% tip added to your tab up front, which you can add too if checking out using the link they text you. The special thing is they have a wall where you pick your own beer, cider and wine(?) that you activate with your wristband and are charged per ounce. I love the drink concept because it allows for folks to try a little bit of various options ... which they do have a number of local options on their wall. This is what I would return for, and bring friends to tet before we end up at another activity. Food wise: got a smash burger which came with fries, which if I order it again I'd probably change cheeses and ask for some pepper to season the fries a bit more ... all personal preferences... but was ok for something to eat to off set the two drinks I had while there. I also got some tacos to go for my husband. Again personal preference, he would have liked more seasoning/spice on the actual meat of the taco vs being as reliant on the salsa. So, on our next visit we might just stick with shareables/apps with our drinks.
