Whitton Restaurants

We love the Ivy, relaxed yet smart, excellent food & wine .. English / European with a twist.. but above all great service .. especially today with our man from Guilford..

Brilliant from start to finish. Service was great and the food was delicious. I really like this Richmond branch as it is light and airy.

On recommendation, we booked for 8pm and were met promptly and politely by the FOH Staff and led upstairs - the room was really pleasant, the staff were attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. Started with a couple of cocktails then the scallops which we shared then the bream and the sole. Both were excellent. We had the Chardonnay from the ‘other wines’ list and it matched perfectly. Finished with asking if they could make a Widow’s Kiss cocktail (they could and it was great) I didn’t know there was a ‘downstairs’ but we were shown it, it looked as relaxing as upstairs. What was funny was my jacket seemed to catch people’s attention - it’s an action-backed tweed sports jacket, if you’re interested! Yeah, we liked it. We will be back.

I booked lunch pre rugby test match. The venue was very busy, but in a good way. It was incredible how the staff seamlessly handled a venue full of excited rugby fans. Steak was perfect, sides were tasty and sommelier’s wine recommendation spot on. Service was friendly, efficient and professional. I will certainly be returning.

Lovely family run business. Authentic Italian. Superb quality
