    Service was great and our waitress Cammy was very attentive and welcoming. Food was excellent and well presented - the steak was fabulous and nicely seasoned. All staff we interacted with were friendly and the restaurant has decent space between the tables so you’re able to enjoy your meal without worrying about moving around or getting out - with limited mobility it takes a while to get moving and in some restaurants you feel that you need to get out quickly so as not to disturb other diners. This is not the the case here and that is appreciated.

    Booked for an Afternoon tea for a special occasion... Afternoon tea at the Ivy Cardiff is an event or a spectacle. I think calling it anything else is underselling it. The scones were sublime, the tea as always was exceptional, the sandwiches were light yet filling. The cream cupcakes and the chocolate Bombe are just exceptional. Service was spectacular as always. Truly wonderful experience. Will be going again in the very near future! Superb!
