    Lovely interior and welcome was warm on arrival. Scallops were delicious, mushroom linguine devine and the cheese board was tasty. Cocktail was refreshing. I liked it a lot! Burgers eaten by our friends were a little overcooked and dry, but we had a lovely time overall.

    Have been here before and loved it. Went out for a NYE meal but they had a DJ who was playing music so loud we could not talk to each other. Totally understand NYE needs something different but for us they got it totally wrong. Turn music up around 10 but not when people are trying to eat a mea at 8pml. Such a shame and would make us unsure about returning. Food and service was good but so not worth a bill for 2 at £280 when we couldn't hear each other talk. So disappointed!

    The food was lovely and quick to arrive. We had the festive menu which was better value. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. Compared to other Ivy Brasseries, the ambience was not as special. The tables were rather close. On a busy day, it would have felt you were on top of other diners.
