    Service was a bit slow to spot us when we needed things but the new aperitif service is an excellent idea and I’m sure we will be back to use it.

    This was my first visit to the Ivy in Canterbury, I was greeted with a friendly reception and a very inviting and welcoming atmosphere. I then was informed of where I would be seated, if it was appropriate, also introduced to our waitress. From start to finish the whole experience was absolutely wonderful. The culinary aspects of the ingredients infused the palette with the elements of fine ingredients and the knowledge of skilled chef’s. The service from waitresses to bar staff to front of house and the whole ambiance was simple magnificent. Every detail is taken care of, every thought has been taken into consideration including cutlery l, plates linen- fine dining at its best. Absolutely highly recommended and has our family seal of approval

    Food and service was excellent along with a pleasant atmosphere and not too noisy. I felt the alcohol prices were a little excessive and I don’t like to see a service charge added automatically prior to payment. I’m sure they would have removed it if asked but it should be left to the discretion of the diners to pay any charge they feel appropriate, based on the food and service levels. We will definitely return.
