We arrived at Mabel's around 9:30 on a Saturday night. Our first impression was that the space was absolutely beautiful and with great lighting; a must in my book! We weren't sure if this was a restaurant or a lounge, since it was relatively quiet. Since we had not had dinner yet, so were looking for a nice sophisticated place to have a meal or share a few starters. By all accounts Mabel's seemed to fit the bill. However, all that was soon about to change. Within a half hour of our arrival, youngsters (20 somethings) were streaming in! Did they bus them in from all points across the Valley? Well, all was good, since we had a nice little table and a darling, attentive server who looked like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson's little sister. The music suddenly doubled in volume and the thoughtful manager came over to make sure we were okay.  I guess he thought that those \""old\"" people in their 30's might not be digging on this! We told him we were cool. We had a delicious and very reasonably priced wine, Primitivo, and three starters  to share: the deviled eggs with caviar, Swedish meatballs and the ahi tuna carpaccio. The deviled eggs and meatballs were tasty but the ahi tuna was out of this world. While we were sipping, eating and people watching, the hostess checked on us as did our little Mary-Kate. She really was a doll! All in all, it was not what we expected, but we had a good time because the service was so attentive. Major points for that! I would go back, but probably earlier in the evening. However, if you are into the nightlife scene, the crowd was attractive and well behaved!
