Newport Beach’s Fable & Spirit reopened for takeout service in the Via Lido Plaza. Now you can enjoy Chef Executive Chef David Shofner’s imaginative, globally inspired dishes. In addition, Sommelier Ali Coyle will present a curated list of wines offered at exceptional prices, and Director of Spirits Drew Coyle will present a selection of cocktails to go.
Guests will be able to order by phone or online Tuesday through Sunday. Menu, hours, and online ordering will be updated at fableandspirit.com. Orders may be placed between Noon and 6 p.m., for pick-up between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The restaurant will be closed Monday. Contactless curbside pick-up can be requested when placing orders.
“Ours are neighborhood restaurants that have achieved success because of the communities that support them, and we are grateful to reopen to see the reassuring smiles of our friends during this time of uncertainty,” comments Darren Coyle, who owns Fable & Spirit, Dublin 4 Gastropub, and Wineworks for Everyone with his wife, Jean. “We look forward to when we can welcome guests into our dining room again for food, drink and good times, but for now, we will limit service to takeout and strive to share some of the spirit and magic of our family with yours.”
Dublin 4 Gastropub and Wineworks for Everyone are located at 26342 Oso Parkway in Mission Viejo. For more information, please visit dublin4gastropub.com or wineworksfoeeveryone.
