    The service was excellent and a high point, cocktails only 6/10 unfortunately (they can’t do a mojito), the food was good, the wine unfortunately disappointing. Overall enjoyable. Will be back.

    Visited the Ivy for my birthday and it didn’t disappoint. The shepherds pie and ginger margarita cocktail was delicious, the ambience was warm and inviting with a fabulous singer adding to the joie de vivre . Service was great and I was treated to a special birthday chocolatey profiterole. Will definitely be returning.
