Orange County Restaurants

Fable & Spirit aims to present a progressive, modern dining experience in a dynamic setting that plays into the colorful, playful mythology of Irish culture. Upon entering Fable & Spirit, guests are greeted with a bright Georgian-style "Dublin Door” with a vintage Irish knocker that leads into the 112-seat restaurant, complete with dining room seating and communal tables, as well as bar and patio seating. A focal point is the restaurant’s Snug, a cozy enclosed booth that was traditionally a fixture in pre-1960s Irish pubs.

The restaurant’s design is dramatic and refined, with rich fabric textures, Farrow & Ball ‘Orangerie’ wallpaper, and waves of complementing colors purposefully composed to create a welcoming at-home feeling, all with a little fairytale whimsy. Brilliant brushed brass-toned dragonfly chandeliers hover from 20-foot ceilings, while chevron-patterned washed wood floors keep everyone grounded. Striking black Nero Marquina marble adorns the bar top, and a twelve-foot library ladder glides across a hammered-brass and black marble back bar, while deep peacock-blue velvet drapes lend a semi-privacy to competing sides of the restaurant space.

Fable & Spirit’s impressive bar is balanced by an exhibition kitchen that allows guests to view culinary magic as if it were on the big screen. With its many settings, the restaurant can accommodate a wide variety of guests seeking out a range of experiences. From intimate to larger parties, there is a backdrop for every occasion, including a private dining opportunity for groups in a semi-private setting.

Fable & Spirit is located at 3441 Via Lido in Newport Beach. Beginning Tuesday, June 11^th, the restaurant will be open for Lunch and Dinner, with Brunch service to be introduced in the coming weeks.
