Run don't walk to Aesop's Fable Restaurant for brunch! I was just there with my family and we were all dying for the incredible menu (avocado toast, bacon/cheddar/green onion waffles with maple syrup, ham&gruyere bread pudding) and the boozy cocktails (heirloom tomato Bloody Mary & peach Bellini)...chef Matthew Cook is a star! What a lovely meal...I have also dined for lunch and dinner. I love their farm to table concept and the dishes are divine!
Atmosphere is wonderful, and food is even better. Had the chicken wings along with chicken and waffles and it was out of this world. The cocktails are tastey and the wine list is huge, whatever you like they have it here. Go through the backdoor and you're met with beautiful hanging vines, sprawling plants, a fire pit, and unique dining. Aesop's Fable is a can't miss to say the least. Another legendary eating establishment by the man, the myth, the legend, Toni Veshta. 100% will be coming back for more.
Everything on the menu that I've tried has been amazing - creative, fun, and delicious. Not a fan of Egg’s Benedict but theirs is amazing, and bottomless mimosas for just another perk. My favorite place to brunch in Westchester, by far. Staff is welcoming, friendly, and it's a perfect new spot for locals to eat, which was much needed in Chappaqua.
The food was very good, and the service as well. I found the value to be lacking. The portions were small and the price was very high. I guess it is Chappaqua, so that is what they do, charge a lot for a little.
For example this is my scallop dish. Very tasty, but 3 scallops for $36? $12/scallop?
4 would been expensive, 5 would be right and it would be 5 stars. I liked the food but the price will keep me from returning.
But since it was very busy, I guess people have lots of money to burn. If you do, then go, spend a lot and leave hungry.
I actually don’t want to give a review of this place because it’s just that good and should be kept a secret but I will. I met several friends for happy hour - the best extensive reasonable happy hour in Northern Westchester; from burgers, tuna tacos, heirloom tomato salad, pizza etc. Everything was scrumptious. The bartender, Nick, is a crowd pleaser. They offer upscale well drinks for happy hour and the Sangria is NOT to be missed-which includes brandy, vodka, rose wine and an abundance of fruit- simply refreshing!! They have an extensive dinner menu which offerings for every palate as well as Brunch on Saturday and Sunday. This place is a def a little gem in the hamlet of Chappaqua and should be kept a ‘secret’
Excellent with just a few minor issues.
Positive: Nice varied menu, (with good vegan options). What would normally feel like food that could sit as heavy, is remade into something light, fresh, homemade and very tasty. Food arrived very quickly. Overall service was good. Pizza is excellent with a thin crust.
Opportunities: The setting is loud. Although there are sound panels on the ceiling, it's still loud. The front corner table near the window is nice, but getting in and out is a bit awkward. The tables are chipped on the top -- this is not rustic, rather a bit unattractive. The pasta primavera special was overall delicious, however there was an ingredient in my dish (peas) not listed. The portion was large - just a bit smaller and it would've been the perfect size. All of this may not sound like a big deal, but even the tiny details matter.
Stopped here for brunch to watch the US women's soccer final match. Delicious food and nice wine selection. The garbanzo bites appetizer were unlike anything I have ever had. Crispy exterior, soft interior and a tangy dressing. Pizza had a perfect crust and sauce. Got the chocolate mousse for dessert. It had brownie pieces it in. Wonderful!
The decor and vibe at Aesops Fable is warm and rustic. Dimly lit and not too crowded for a small space, I felt like we still had privacy despite it being a full house. The food was delicious. We ordered the mac and cheese and calamari to start and the apps were flavorful and filling, perfectly cooked. I had the portabello entree and it was a combination of flavors I didn't expect but really enjoyed. It was our one year wedding anniversary and we got exactly what we were looking for - a small, intimate dinner with high quality food and great service.
Wonderful cozy spot. Great intimate lighting and a positive welcoming staff. Order up the mac and cheese and dont be one of those people that politely listens to the specials but doesnt consider them. We ordered one and it was so good we requested more bread to soak up the sauce.
Prices are what you would expect for this kind of place in Chappaqua. I would certainly go again.
Just had a late impromptu lunch with my wife at Aesop’s Table. The food was truly delicious. We had a kale Caesar salad and the cauliflower pizza. Each was superb. We’ll be back to try other dishes.

Quaint little restaurant. Loved the atmosphere. The service was excellent and the food wonderful. Wait staff was very attentive. Would definitely eat here again. Had only one complaint - it was a bit chilly in the restaurant.
