We've been waiting for Fate to open as we work right across the street and have been excited to have something like this within walking distance. We came for lunch today, the day after their grand opening and had a great time.
The building is super cool and really pretty and the space was very open. The were only moderately busy, it wasn't bad at all. I got the Oh My Gatos! Golden Ale which I really liked, and I ordered the Garlic Burger with fries. Our food came out in a decent amount of time and everything tasted great, the burger was juicy and cooked just right, fries were really good as well.
I was close to giving 5 stars but there were just a few small things I would improve upon. I wasn't really sure which side was the main entrance, so we walked in through the doors in the back by the Plato's Closet side. It was a little confusing because that takes you kind of in the back. There is a sign pointing towards other doors to tell you where to go to get seated but when we walked through and were still a little unsure where to go. We wandered a little and finally found our way up to the hostess area.
I would also maybe add a tad bit more variety to the menu. The main options are burgers, pizza, sandwiches and salads. I'd like to see maybe a good mac and cheese or pasta dish,or some kind of chicken strips... something like that. Not that simplicity is a bad thing. I enjoyed our lunch and will definitely be back, looking forward to trying out some of the appetizers and happy hour specials! :)
