The Fable - London

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 the service.
