    I went through four annoying verification steps to write this review and I would have gone through ten more. One of those nights that just makes your week. Deep fried parsnips, sweetbreads, pork cheeks and steak. Just wonderful. Were treated with such courtesy and care. Deeply appreciated.

    Having wanted to dine at The Ivy since I was 20 and now late 50's it was one of my favourite experiences in London with my children. It did not disappoint. The service was superb, the waiter quickly realised my son has special needs and reacted accordingly, without judgement or prejudice, which was a refreshing change from other London venues we have been to. The food was the best I have had in years. Thank you!
