                                                        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.

                                                        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

                                                        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 Diner offers a charming and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a weekend breakfast. Our server was kind and chilled. I enjoyed my FD Caesar. However, my friend found her Eggs Benedict overly mayo-heavy, which made it difficult to finish. Despite this, I’m eager to return and try their Prohibition Brunch, which sounds enticing and worth exploring on my next visit. Overall, Fable Diner is a lovely spot with potential for a great breakfast or brunch!
