Very impressed with Tabule, and will definitely be back.
We went early (before 6:30pm) on a Tuesday and most of the tables were already reserved. By 7pm it had filled up and there was a pretty lively noise level. Decor is semi-formal but clean, comfortable, not stuffy or snobby. Good diversity and selection on the menu: there's something for everyone with enough vegetarian or fish options, if that's your thing. We had the Hallum salad, it was good but not too exciting, so next time I would try Fattush maybe. Babaganoush appetizer was simple but delicious: recommend! For dinner we had the red snapper and kefta, both of which were well-seasoned, moist and cooked perfectly, with simple grilled veggies over rice. Very reasonably priced ($80 for two with appetizers and beer), especially compared to some of the other bistros and hot-spots in the neighbourhood. Oh, and they had a great selection of local beers. We didn't do dessert but the one I saw at the table over looked good. Finally, I should mention that service was excellent: our waitress was extremely helpful and pleasant, and our water glasses were never empty. Much appreciated. A great night overall!
