There was a Friday date night option that was really reasonable. That included wine. Many daily specials -we all enjoyed our food. The boozy milkshakes look like a hit. We enjoyed their was TVs for those who want to be watching sports. we will be back.

I had a truly disappointing experience at this restaurant. The wait for our food was ridiculous — over 40 minutes when half of the tables were empty. When we asked our server about the delay (after about 30 minutes), there wasn’t even an apology for the wait — just a dismissive response. And when the food finally arrived, it was wrong and we had to wait another 10 minutes for them to fix it. The server seemed uninterested and inattentive since the very beginning. It was probably one of the first restaurants that didn’t offer any colouring books/crayons to our baby (despite having some). Overall, the experience was frustrating and disappointing. If you’re looking for good service or any consideration for families, look elsewhere.

Service is fantastic and the food is always delicious. Very family friendly. I highly recommended the chicken mushroom burger which is amazingly moist because it’s sous vide. We are fast becoming regulars for brunch and dinner.

We had a table reserved for 11:15. Arrived at 11:00 and checked in with the host. Understandably, asked to wait until 11:15. 11:20 rolls around and we inquire with the host again. A walk-in party had been incorrectly sat at our table. 11:45, we finally get a table and give our order fairly promptly. The food took about 45 minutes to be served. We complete eating our food only to be told that we have the table for only ten minutes more as they need it back for a booking. In summary, a poorly managed host system, which negatively affected our overall experience.
Fable DinerResponded on 5 November 2024
We have you seated in the system at 11:08, paid at 12:15, and finished at 12:21, please contact us if there is some error.

Terrible food. I didn’t eat it and no one asked if everything was okay. They just took my full plate of food away. Service took a very long time and forgot items
Fable DinerResponded on 15 November 2024
I am so sorry. The GM was alerted to this right away. Of course the server should have asked what was wrong!

Made the reservation online through OpenTable on Sunday Oct 13th at 4pm. When we got there, the door was locked. So we phoned, they said they closed at 4pm on that day. Well, if they close early due to Thanksgiving long weekend, why didn't they update the website?
Fable DinerResponded on 15 November 2024
I am sorry this happened. Sounds dreadful. It definitely should have been updated - at least you should have been contacted. I'm so sorry.
