Beautiful light bright restaurant. Makes such a change from all those trendy dimly lit places where I need my phone torch to read the menu. Decor is fantastic, staff all well dressed and wearing signature notify on dresses and waistcoats etc. lovely big bar / counter area. Great mixture of seating. Food choice and standard of food is good as is the choice of drinks. Service from bar, to waiting to concierge is all professional and helpful but not overly fussy. We just love eating in here and people watching. It has a lovely vibe.

Great birthday dinner at the Ivy. This was a new Ivy location for us and it did not disappoint. Service and food were great and atmosphere at Christmas could not be beat. Think straight out of the Holiday.

Great service and food. We all dined from the festive menu, all starters and mains were spot on and the sourdough bread to share was delicious . They managed to squeeze us in ahead of our booking time and stored our suitcase’s for us.
