Exquisite! The table service was slightly rushed in the beginning (we prefer the dining vice scarfing our faces like Neanderthals experience). When that was expressed, the service swiftly changed to our liking and we had a lovely time! The food was impeccably curated and masterfully paired by the sommelier.

Great meal at the Ivy. Had a slight issue with the steaks not being cooked according to the order but they re-did them and they were then perfect. To apologise they kindly offered us deserts on the house which was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend and we will return. The customer service was excellent and was exactly what I would hope for if things don't go 100% correct.
