"If you want to dine in one of the best and most romantic patios in the city, head to Fable. The casual Castro restaurant for pork chops, burgers, and wine (and a great pork cheek, kale, and apple salad appetizer) reminds us of a secret Mediterranean garden. Potted plants, palms, and birds of paradise are everywhere, and tea lights and string lighting give this place a warm, cozy feel that’s perfectly suited for date nights or catch ups with friends." - julia chen 1, lani conway
