    Another excellent visit to the Ivy. The menu as ever is wide and varied, with the food presented perfectly and promptly. The staff are all polite professional and personable, making every visit a joy. The only criticism? The portions of the addictive heavenly crème brûlée are a touch on the large side and therefore entirely responsible for the calories I gain every time I visit. Highly recommended.

    The Ivy Brasserie feels special from the start you get a warm welcome, service is lovely and the space is exciting and glamorous. It's my 2nd visit and I really loved it, as did my friends. The Loos are gorgeous and the main area is great backdrop for photos.

We couldn’t agree more—the loos do have their own charm, and we love that you found our main area a great spot for photos. We hope to welcome you back for a third visit very soon!

    The service was impeccable. Ordered the fish and chips which was really lovely. My husband ordered chicken breast with beans, but a bit disappointed as there were no potatoes with the dish. I did share some of my chips. Beautiful restaurant.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded 6 days ago
    Thank you for your kind words about our service and the lovely fish and chips! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your meal and the beautiful surroundings of our restaurant. I’m sorry to hear that your husband was expecting potatoes with his dish. While our roast chicken breast is served with green beans and a delicious chicken jus, we appreciate the feedback and will certainly take it on board. We're glad you were able to share some of your chips! We hope to welcome you both back again soon for another wonderful dining experience.

    Good food and atmosphere. I went with some of my girlfriends I had not seen for a while. We were never pressurised to give up the table as we chatted away the hours

    The dining room is lovely. The food is good, but not great. However, the wait service could be greatly improved. I was left alone for almost 20 mins before I managed to get the attention of a server. To add insult to injury, the server entered managed to transpose some key numbers into the credit card machine and overcharged me. My fault for not noticing until I got back to the hotel.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded on February 22, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I’m pleased to hear you enjoyed our dining room and found the food good, I’m very sorry that your experience with our service fell short of expectations. Waiting 20 minutes for attention is certainly not the level of hospitality we strive for, and I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this caused. Regarding the overcharge, I completely understand how frustrating that must have been. If you haven’t already, please do reach out to us directly, and we’d be happy to look into this for you. We truly appreciate your feedback, and I hope we can welcome you back for a much smoother experience in the future.
