    We have been to the Ivy in Canterbury twice. Both times the food was very good. The service was also perfect. Both times the restaurant was full, but the service worked perfectly. Warm greetings to Gary, who knew us on our second visit and remembered us. We would love to come back to the Ivy next time we are in Canterbury. Thank you for the wonderful moments at the Ivy.
