What Foodie doesn't like about The Fable:
Great food we both ordered off the specials menu. We’ve eaten here before and had no issues, but today the service was slow and unprofessional. It’s not put us off returning though as the food is still a winner! View all feedback. What Jace Morar likes about The Fable:
The food,the service and the drinks were all amazing The atmosphere really dose make the place come alive if we are back in London again would definitely come back View all feedback.

Found by chance on our holiday. Saw Martin Kemp putting on a great 80s show. Great friendly staff and variety of food and drinks

Awesome, best birthday ever. Will definitely be visiting here again.

The restaurant in question has received a variety of reviews from customers. While some have praised the venue for its great atmosphere, amazing service, and delicious food, others have been left disappointed by the quality of the dishes and the service received. The pub is decorated nicely with reasonable drink prices, but some customers found the food lacking in flavor and quality. The waiting staff have been described as unfriendly and inattentive by some, while others have found the staff to be welcoming and accommodating. Overall, the reviews suggest that the venue is a hit or miss depending on individual experiences.

What a great restaurant! The vibe, setting (a table made backdrop made entirely of books) to great service! Went here with a group and we were all served at

Not having been to The Fable before I gave the taxi driver the advertised address of 52 Holborn Viaduct just to walk down all three floor back to another

Their crispy squid is a pretty nice calamari with a tasty dipping sauce that isn't spicy.
