Did not like in the downstairs part if I’m honest. Took a while to get first drinks- but fine after they eventually came over. Food is excellent but they probably could have spaced out the dishes a bit more as got cold. Don’t get me wrong, this is a first class restaurant, but these are important details when parting with £200 per head.

First visit to any of the The Ivy Asias and already planning to return with daughters. I visited at lunchtime and the room and the atmosphere in the room was perfect, chatty, energetic and the staff were lovely and efficient. The food was delicious. I had the Dragon set lunch menu ( my husband, a la carte) & the tempura prawns were so wonderful I could have just feasted on them and been happy. The salt and pepper beef was delicious but I wasn’t so keen on the panna cotta - presentation and dry ice was great but why was it green and I would not have guessed that it was coconut - on the other hand the birthday treat was sublime and much appreciated. I highly recommend the pineapple and cherry negroni too!
