text: Ummmsowhat is up with the whole goat thing nHas no one else noticed the goat theme How has this not been mentionednnSeriously there is a goat head hanging on the wall possibly more than one little goats on the menus and bill book I half expected to look up in the ladies room to find a goat peering over the stall It was creepy and confusing I NEED to understand itnormaybe notnnMoving forward The food was truly fantastic We had the pork belly and deviled eggs with caviar which were the two standouts for me The meatball dish was not bad I just feel as though I could have made it at home with things I already have in my refrigerator so all in all nothing specialnnOur Manhattans were quite good overall but lacked consistency If there was a next time I would stick to winennThe problems I have with Mabels are the followingnIf this review was based on food alone it would warrant at least stars however the running question between myself and my guy the entire evening other than the goat conundrum was whether or not we even saw anyone else order or eat anythingnThat may not matter much to anyone but why waste such talent on a place that seems to serve little more purpose than to be the next drop in for a bunch of k douchebags and their cheap tacky sparkly dressed girlfriends Seriously ladies and partially tucked gents called it wants it is bad taste back Have some class I do not need to see your manscaped chest or your womans ass cheek hanging out of the bottom of her dress nnI may have been able to bump the rating up to three stars if the service was not so awkward I cannot stand it when a server almost always female makes eye contact and directs conversation to my date only I do not appear threatening I smile a lot and try to make eye contact I am not going to bite youLOOK AT ME nIm a pretty cool chick and I would like you to acknowledge my existencethanks For some reason this happens to me frequently I waited tables myself back in the day and I cannot wrap my brain around that one but oh well nnAll in all the food was excellent Drinks were alright Service was weird If we had not already had a table from dinner and were forced to stand I could totally see myself wanting to shank some bitches The whole experience felt a little Twilight Zone especially with the goat situation Doubtful return
