    Love the ambiance at the Ivy and the food is very good (slightly sad and soggy Brussel sprouts aside). In our case the service was quite slow. To be fair the place was quite full.

    Not a great experience. The staff couldn’t get the drinks right. Two rums with a coke to share. Service was poor. Food bland. Crowded and cramped. Very disappointed as I have enjoyed The Ivy before. I mentioned about my food but just told sorry about that. Nothing taken off the bill. And to top it all a massive £65 service charge on the bill already. Won’t be returning.

    We were served by Marvin (hope I spelt correctly) and he was amazing. It was my birthday and he was attentive and we had a wonderful evening - please thank him for us.

    Food was excellent. Menu didn't have any details of allergies etc - you had to use a QR code which really interfered with the dining experience. Fine for MacDonalds, not for fine dining. Waitress was not good - seemed not to have been trained. A great wait-person is unobtrusive but there when you need them - this was the opposite. I had to ask her to come over each time we were ready, and then she went into a mode where she'd explain to me that she was "just going to take these things over to that table and then I'll be right back" and did this repeatedly. I don't blame her, she obviously just hadn't been trained well. It's a pity because the food and vibe were good.

    We recently visited for a Festive Afternoon Tea, which, unfortunately, was rather average. As is common with most Afternoon Teas, we had some items left over, but we were told there were no boxes during December as it takes too much time for them to pack. However, we were offered the option to purchase a small bag for £1 to take our leftovers. Out of principle, I declined, they then offered to wrap the items in foil. I’m not sure this aligned with the Ivy’s usual high-end branding…? After speaking with the manager they did give me a bag.
