    The food, decoration and ambiance were amazing but the service was incredibly poor and not up to the usual ivy brasserie standard.

    Visited for the first time today, although myself and hubby have visited a number of ivys in the past and the new Bournemouth brasserie lived up to the high expectations of the Ivy. We were greeted with very friendly, welcoming and accommodating staff that honestly could not do enough for us. The decor is absolutely stunning and the service from start to finish was impeccable, we felt like royalty!! Most importantly the food was stunning. It was served to us in a very timely manner, well presented, hot and it was extremely delicious. We have already booked for Valentine’s weekend as we were totally blown away by the whole dining experience. Thank you and merry Christmas to all the wonderful hardworking staff at the Ivy that really did go above and beyond to make our experience a fantastic one.

    After eating last night at The Ivy in Chichester I was a bit surprised by the Bournemouth Ivy. The Ivy at Chichester was superb in terms of food service and atmosphere. I had to ask twice for service at the Bournemouth Ivy. The food was, however, excellent. It’s very noisy but that might appeal to many customers but difficult to talk. Not sure if I’ll return

    Hi had a great evening at the new Ivy in Bournemouth, food lovely, service great, my only complaint would be the floor is very slippery in the main restaurant, I fell over walking to the loo and another lady did as well, but the place it forgotten, I hope it’s a great success…

    Pleased to see the Ivy open, the model works well. We note that there were a number of Christmas parties making the ambience lively but even so the music was unnecessarily loud. Out waitresses lovely but had too many tables to give the service expected. We mentioned this in the night. Overall we enjoyed the food cocktails were good too!

    Sadly disappointing. We waited ages for our drinks then the aperative arrived at the same time as the main course but without the vegetable side dishes which took another 5 minutes. The service was haphazard. The music was too loud so we couldn't easily talk over the noise. We felt rushed and left in under 90 mins and were charged £90 for not a lot.

    My 2nd time at The Ivy in Bournemouth Square! I went with a friend and we both had a brilliant experience. The food was excellent. I can highly recommend the sea bass. It is superb and cooked to perfection 👌🏽 Our waitress, Vida was attentive, helpful and friendly. I can honestly say that this is the best restaurant in Bournemouth and the surrounding areas. The decor is delightful and a feast for the eyes. It's a wonderful and welcoming place. From the receptionist to the manager, the service is impeccable.
