The dining room looks straight out over the water at Newport Beach, which would be enough for most restaurants to coast on. This modern New American spot holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and earns it by pairing that view with a menu that swings from inventive vegetable dishes to an ambitious slow-roasted porchetta. The crowd comes for the scenery and stays because the food keeps surprising them.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups
-
Fish and chips
“The fish and chips, lightly battered with a crisp outer layer gives way to pillowy, flaky meat.”
Eater -
Guinness brown bread
“A meal at Fable & Spirit, almost by default, starts with warm Guinness brown bread with European butter and Jacobsen sea salt.”
Eater -
Roasted cauliflower with green harissa
“The comprehensive menu offers up a handful of delicious, inventive vegetable items such as the roasted cauliflower with green harissa, curry caramelized onions and almonds.”
Michelin Guide -
Kurobuta porchetta
“You'll want to order everything, but don't skip the ambitious but well-executed 12-hour Kurobuta porchetta with polenta, romanesco, Calabrian chili, chimichurri, and textbook-perfect smoked braising jus.”
