The Folly (City of London)

• The best thing about The Folly (City of London) is the style and decoration
• The bathrooms are also one of the finer ones I've been to and even made going to the toilet feel special
• It is very popular among city folk on Friday nights and the contemporary bar downstairs is always filled with people
• Is the homemade lemonade the citrusy taste is to die for and very unique
• I later brought a friend here after a gym session and he said it was the best soft drink he's ever had
• The Folly (City of London) is very much style over substance
• If you are going here order something fried the fish in a basket is the only dish they seem to be able to produce consistently
• Having gone with large groups I have yet to find a time when everyone is satisfied with their meal
• Goats cheese risotto was basically plain rice with a sprinkling if goats cheese and one chunk if butternut squash
• Tired and even unwashed but they do some with a cute little washing can filled with dressing
• The Folly (City of London) is an expensive gaff where they have paid too much attention to the decor &
• What I enjoyed the most was the ambiance of the place because it has a particular touch
• The Folly (City of London) is really eye catching but their food isn&rsquo
• Because even if the food was the crè
• Else end up going home with some run of the mill big time banker
• Wine of the day which was probably the most revolting thing I've ever tasted since my brother dared me to drink a shot of fairy liquid
• There are a lot of seating area downstairs and our table was sort of located up against a wall
• We were amazed at how busy it was when we first walked in
• So we had a tour of the place with the lovely manager Paul
• Whilst my raspberry creation was finished off with a petal on top
• The mixologist worked with his gorgeous vodka to create our cocktails
• Balsamic vinegar with traditional handmade breads
• Marinated Puglia olives with a selection of traditional handmade breads
• We loved the fact the tomatoes and olives were from Puglia
• S where we are getting married
• The crockery is all mix matched
• A revolving pop up shop provides guests with something current
• We had a very relaxed afternoon and the price is not too bad too
• The place was reasonably full and buzzing with varied groups of people coming out to lunch
• It would be that sometimes the achingly hip hipster trend is all well and good when it is actually being trendy
• S liberally sprinkled with sea salt and to avoid consuming my sodium intake for a week in one meal
• Not a lot of Thai vegetables) with some diced boiled chicken breast on top
• Went on a Wednesday night and the staff was super friendly and service is good
• Downstairs bar got pretty full but food arrived quickly and was reasonably tasty
• Is pretty busy most nights of the week but the venue is large (upstairs and downstairs and has a separate dining part)
• I would stick to drinks here and maybe the odd sharing platter as the food is pretty average and pricier than normal pubs
• The rating of The Folly (City of London) is related to the rudeness of the staff
• The other downside is the price pretty pricey
• The food is terrible don't bother with it the lamb burger chewy not nice and chips cold and with the fact that food took ages to arrive
• The brownie was yuckkkkk couldn't eat it and I am not one to waste food
• Pricey and food is not worth it
• They also have a downstairs area which was also guess what packed
• I ordered for the Thai curry with chicken served with boiled rice
• My friends however did like their chicken but no effort was made to fulfill our requests of making it spicy
• Once we told the waitress she was nice enough to bring us some spicy sauce
• The reasons why are always old and tired
• I am always better off for it with more productive mornings that power through to a late lunch
• The food at The Folly is solid if not spectacular and has always left me satisfied that I've had a decent meal at a reasonable clip
• The risottos are always good and they used to do an amazing chicken and quinoa super food salad
• I like the fact there are options if you're being good or feeling a bit naughty
• The cocktails are rather good too
• I really like the decor of the Folly and that is why I picked it for a celebration dinner during the week
• The service and the food were good and very reasonably priced
• Having said that I later came back for a dinner on a Friday and it was an awful experience because the bar part of the restaurant was so crowded and they sat our table of 10 right next to it
• Will come back for food only at less busy times and probably drinks on a friday (there's a downstairs area with great music
• Having just one or two is possibly the closest I&rsquo
• I know perfectly well that our perception is very much influenced by the appearance of what we eat and drink
• With their chicly themed bars and restaurants always providing a decent setting for group nights out (particularly post work with colleagues)
• The Folly is their outpost in Bank and is inspired by all things botanical
• I settled down with a crisp dry glass of chardonnay and watched the world go by
• Massive space with drinking area and eating
• There is an small almost private elevated area just to the right of reception that is perfect for this kind of party
• Bowls of mini fish and chips with tartar sauce were decent though the fish was a lot better than the soggy chips
• Bowls of gnocchi in cheese sauce were quite good
• Normally I hate the taste of ascorbic acid in commercial gnocchi which is used as preservative
• Pleasant sliders were pink in the middle and had a nice loose texture
