I chose to sit outside (with so many people coughing) and my survivor was just amazing. She was attentive, funny and so sweet! Food was delicious as well.

Fantastic Boxing day experience at The Ivy at St Johns Wood. The restaurant was very festive - fun snowman theme this year, plus classy Christmas crackers. I enjoyed last year's Xmas experience and am glad we booked again this year over the Christmas period. We all had the Boxing brunch menu - really good value with a good selection of options. The food arrived promptly and was very tasty. Service was efficient and friendly - would definitely return to this location.

The whole experience was fantastic, the staff cannot do enough for you, brilliant. One point which all should be aware of, we booked the Xmas day Dinner, £840.00 / couple, we knew we had to pay for drinks (Aside the complimentary glass of fizz) however, a service charge was applied to the whole bill. So the prepaid £840.00 advised on line is not accurate and misleading, we paid £144.60 service charge on £16.00 of chargeable drinks that we had. This was extremely disappointing having had such a wonderful experience.

Thankyou for a glorious meal on Christmas Eve in a beautiful environment which brought me and my girlfriend closer together. The flambe Christmas pudding was the highlight- the best Christmas pudding I have ever tasted- light yet rich and fruity.
