Title: FABS Nuevo
Post by: Brightspark on April 06, 2012, 13:04:47 PM
Tried it for the first time the other day as somehow managed to get a night off!
Anyway, if your looking for a good meal then you need to try this place. I have known the chef for a good while and was well aware of his capabilities but now he has his own menu the food is amazing.
I don't normally rave about going out for a meal, let alone make a post about it but really the food I and the mrs had the other night was out of this world.

Nice to see a place focus on fresh food so much and couldn't fault any of it. Priced well also for the quality you get.

Sounds good, will definitely try it when we are over in May.  We will also be popping into our favourite chinese restaurant Jinxing a few times.  Its looking good for the area; there will be plenty to keep us happy what with the 2 new places opening up, Mustangs, Villa Pizza, Crazy Goat, and Stoners.  Might not bother going into Caleta at all [:)]

Dont be fooled by comments, the food is overpriced and a rift raft element is already prevailent in the bar area and discord between the two management couples has raised its ugly head and see other comments about the chef being a little hot headed, I will ply my business elsewhere.

PS.  It´s  RIFF RAFF and PREVELANT.

Lmao, I take no discount, no offers, no nothing, I am me and always have been.

I will however every now and again promote something that is good.

As for "Tarkacreek's" (23 posts) comment, that's her opinion.

As it happens it would seem there has been changes there but that's not my business.

I will say though that I have worked alongside said chef and seen what he can do, but I never promoted this because I worked with the guy, I did it because the food was spot on.

And I will add to this.....

Unless you're a happy hour drinker then who cares for the price as long as the food is good.

Always like to make up my own mind about any bars/restaurants and try not to let myself be influenced by any negative/positive comments placed online.  As long as a restaurant has good food and wine, friendly staff, and a clean environment I am happy [:D] and of course not too expensive!!

Nothing wrong with criticism, but mud slinging and slagging off is not classed as the same in my eyes.

Had a meal there last week and have nothing but the height of praise. We were made feel very welcome by Bill and Ann and the quality of the food was one of the best we have experienced in Caleta/Horizonte. Would highly recommend their roast stuffed pork dish[^] Forgot to mention their Bailey's Ice Cream[:D]

Thanks to Trevor for his table service and I would have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant for it's quality and pricing. Keep up the good work[:)]

Agree with Cllr Collins about Fabs.  Had a really good meal there last week.  Also tried El Patio in Caleta for the first time and it was fantastic.  Great atmosphere and food and the staff were really friendly.

Post by: the Moss on May 15, 2012, 21:32:58 PM
Must agree with Cllr. Collins was in Fabs two weeks and the proprietors were very welcoming and the Barman Trevor is a particular asset to the place

Good to see new businesses opening up in the area and they should be encouraged... Kavanaghs reopening soon also , good luck Bobby and co.

Especially when it's another bar owner..makes you not want to visit the Beach Bar at Playa Blanca when the owner seems a bit spiteful.

Title: FABS Nuevo
Post by: Edu on June 16, 2012, 10:37:18 AM
I've been to FABS and it is nice, but I can't understand why a certain individual on this site just rants on about how FAB the staff, place, food is etc. Is she on a commission? There are many Fabulous bars in Caleta where you can enjoy good food, beer, service, company and absolutely stunning views. I think the contributor making bad remarks about previous owners ought to pay a visit to some of the other bars and see how things are done e.g. Slap n Tickle, Hemmingways, Villa Pizza, Baba O'Rileys to name just four.
