"A group of ten of us went here last night for our work evening out. First impressions were good the place looked really nice, and it was packed (not so good if you are into any kind of social distancing). However, once we were seated for dinner next to the main bar area, it became apparent from the incredibly loud dance music that this was not going to be an evening of easy conversation. I like to think that a basic requirement of going to dinner is that I can enjoy some conversation but that was far too much to hope for. It was like being in the middle of a nightclub or bar where to have to really shout and strain to hear someone. Things got so bad that the waitress simply could not hear me to take my order. When my colleague 's order came it was completely wrong which was no surprise. We asked for their music to be turned down several times but that was just not possible by the looks of things because of the huge bar area next to us that they cared about more. Overall, the food was good, but the evening was totally ruined by the stupidly loud nightclub music. I do not exaggerate when I say that several of us left with sore throats and lost voices. If the management is reading this then I don 't want a stock robotic reply underneath we are very sorry to hear that....... kind of response because we made it clear that the music was stupidly loud several times. The next time I want to sit and eat in the middle of a nightclub then I 'll just go to Pret for a sandwich and just take it into the middle of the dancefloor of my local. It 'll be a lot cheaper for sure."

We frequently visit this restaurant for lunch. The staff are consistently friendly and welcoming. The service is quick, and there are plenty of delicious menu options to choose from. Sylwia, one of the employees, always remembers our favorite table and takes great care of us.

My friend reserved a table on the terrace, but it ended up being on the sidewalk next to a busy street. The restaurant wasn't as fantasy-inspired as described, just a regular eatery. The food was tasty and the staff was friendly. Be cautious of the homemade lemonade, as it is very strong.

Disappointing, had to constantly remind staff to top up our drinks which they seemed annoyed about at one point they took our drinks to fill up and didn’t bring them back for 10 minutes normally easily pleased but this was the worst I’d been too. Food was good but other than that a poor experience.

Food was fine. Staff at the fable however were unbelievably rude and unfair. We paid for the upgraded drinks, we ended up only getting served around 3 rounds (the brunch claimed to be bottomless) wouldn’t recommend… would recommend finding one a bit cheaper. Dirty martini was much better and only around £45. Visualizza piatti

Tried to visit for a pre concert meal. Arrived at 17.15 to be told the kitchen was closed as they had too many drinkers. No advance notice of this on the website and you can only book for 10 or more. Apparently they made this decision on a day by day basis . Happy to go else where is it was dark, with low ceiling and very noisy. No atmosphere.

Unfortunately, we may have just been unlucky, but I felt compelled to leave a review after experiencing some of the slowest service I have encountered in a London restaurant in recent years. It was quite apparent that there was a shortage of waitstaff. We were frequently neglected: it took nearly half an hour after being seated just to receive a menu and place a drink order, and even then, we had to actively seek out a waitress. The food was fantastic, but we never had the opportunity to peruse a dessert menu, let alone consider ordering dessert, as we had been there for hours and needed to head home. Despite the delicious food, I would hesitate to return without a significant improvement in...

My friend from work booked this restaurant for us to eat at on our work trip earlier this week and to be honest I think we had a great find! The restaurant was very busy (even though it was a Tuesday evening) so I was glad that we deduced to book and not just turn up on the day. Both of us played the ‘spin the wheel’ game on the venue’s website before attending and both ‘won’ a free Bloom in the City cocktail which saved us £11 each although the waitress was a little bit unsure how to process the voucher you can’t complain at a free cocktail which was alright to be fair. I had the cheeseburger for my meal which was very well presented and equally as tasty, my friend however chose Risotto whi... Visualizza piatti

Our Hen Party booked the bottomless brunch at The Fable. There was 14 of us at the brunch and the £60 included ‘sharing’ platters, a main meal and unlimited prosecco, beer or aperol spritz. In my opinion we should have had more sharing platters as there was nowhere near enough for all of us. The mains left a lot to be desired, the steak was burnt and cold, the risotto looked like a bowl of slop and the chicken breast burger was not appetising at all! Most of the party left a lot of the food. As for the bottomless and unlimited drinks, well they definitely were not!!! We were sat with empty glasses for a lot more than we had full glasses, when asking for another drink the waitress was not hap...

We had lunch here as our flight from Heathrow was delayed by 12 hours and this is convenient for The Elizabeth Line from T5. We were soon cheered up by a lovely smiling waitress Dori and Padron Peppers being on the menu always a taste of The Med and holidays!! We shared a dish with some bread both lovely. We were still eating these when my husband`s main course arrived, although not delivered by Dori..... we asked if this could be taken back for a while which it was. I then had the lamb which was truly memorable, tasty and tender, every mouthful a delight. My husband had the special fishcakes which didn`t seem to suffer from being kept warm for a little while; equally tasty. The starter/main...
