It was my first time going but have heard great things - was not disappointed! Really great buzzing atmosphere, attentive staff, lovely decor. The prices were really reasonable (both drinks and food) and there was an unexpected large chilling/dancing area downstairs with great music, which is fantastic if you want to spend the rest of the eve there! Would recommend and definitely will be back again.

The Decor and size of the folly are both in its favour. It feels intimate despite being big. The bathroom is gorgeous but a but mucky, shame people can't seem to keep paper off the floor and bowls clean. The service is a little too friendly for me but good non the less.

The bathroom is gorgeous but a but mucky, shame people can't seem to keep paper off the floor and bowls clean. The service is a little too friendly for me but good non the less. And a service charge is part of the bill. They offer you a book to take with you, which I adored, even if the book was rather odd. The food, well it's a bit like bills or browns, a tad expensive for what it is but nice enough to eat. You wouldn't rave about it. If you stuck in monument it's a fair spot for dinner.

I've been to the Folly three times now, including one time for New Year's Eve. The Folly is a great place to go either for a shared meal with friends or a date.

The Folly is a great place to go either for a shared meal with friends or a date. The place is big, really well decorated, with an upstairs and downstairs area. The downstairs area has booths on the side of the room which are higher up than the other tables. The food there is great! Lots of nice options and deserts too are amazing. Very nice wine selection to accompany the food too. The only letdown I've experienced there are the cocktails. I went up to order a couple of cocktails, the bartender didn't know the recipe so he was constantly asking his colleagues for help. I waited for quite a while only to be told that they didn't have the necessary ingredients, so I ordered something else. When I finally did get cocktails, they seemed quite weak and tasteless.
