The visit was not as good as my last visit. As I am allergic to fish, the two course lunch menu was a bit limiting for me. I chose the rendang curry but I found it very dry. A bit of a disappointment after my last visit.

This is the second Ivy restaurant I have visited and the one in Bournemouth didn't disappoint. It's a very large restaurant with a circular bar. The usual colourful and vibrant decor. The food was first class and beautifully presented. It is very affordable as they do a fixed price two course menu plus the a lcarte menu. The staff look resplendent in their uniforms. Well worth a visit

We all had (3 of us) the two course meal for £19.95 which was excellent value and really good. The waiter was excellent too. Plus was really nice to receive a birthday treat at the end of the meal. The decor is lovely and all inall is a really good experience at lunchtime.

Food average for the price. Service very good staff very friendly and courteous. Tables very crammed next to each other and way too small no space to put all the individual dishes on.
