   Wir waren hier zum brunchen. Hat alles wunderbar gepasst - eine tolle Auswahl und qualitativ hochwertiges Essen. Im Vergleich zu anderen Frühstückslokalen preislich für das was man bekommt auch angemessen. Gehen hier wieder hin ☺️

   I recently dined at IVE Brasserie and was left very disappointed. It took an unacceptable amount of time—over 20 minutes—just for our first drink orders to be taken, when eventually delivered they were not what we ordered. Further drinks ordered for the main course were served alongside our desserts despite chasing for them during g the man course. The dessert, the crème brûlée was bland and tasteless. All this and it was far from busy…. To top it off, the entire establishment looked like it needed a good clean, detracting further from the dining experience, and certainly not a £100 a head one. I expected much more from a place in Soho and sadly won’t be returning.

   It was the worst experience I had in London for the last 8 years. I had my friends visiting me from abroad and booked a table of 4. The poor service was absolutely a shocking. 1- I had to pick the menu’s myself in order to order. 2- Starters came quite late and then we waited 17 mins on top to get cutlery and small plates to share after requesting them 3 times in a row. (No spoon for a squash soup, no fork for the duck salad, no plate for zucchini fritti to share) cold food by the time cutlery arrived. 3- Asked for glasses to have just water 2 times. 4- One of us is vegetarian and he ordered the vegetarian curry, they brought chicken curry and my friend understood this when he has eaten half way the food. They still charged us for the dish. Didnt even bother to take out it from the bill. 5- I spoke even to the manager in the middle of the dinner saying the experience is terrible and asked if there is anything they can do to improve this before the night is over. He mentioned that he would come to our table and check out the issue but didnt bother afterwards. It was very embarrasing for me and would never like to go there again even though I have been a regular customer for the last 8 years.

   To be honest a bit disappointing as we had a voucher to use for my husbands 60th. No acknowledgment of this and we were seated by the kitchen. Wrong starter was delivered, spilt water and thought we were rushed. We arrived early seated for 4 and the bill appeared at 5.05 ☹️

   Cramped table. Underside of fish soggy. Slow service (although bread was removed from the bill to compensate). Average experience.

   Superb atmosphere, the resident DJ did a great job bringing the energy levels and Christmas mood to the room. Food as always delivered. Service was prompt and friendly. 10/10

   Colourful characterful restaurant with a very energetic buzzy chat making conversation difficult. Food was well presented and delicious- we ordered from the fixed festive menu and were certainly very full by the end! Service was ok but only what you'd expect from a local cafe - not a premium restaurant. Eg When our water ran out I had to ask three times before anyone replenished it. They forgot to bring our dessert. Quality Christmas crackers were a nice touch. Wine was expensive We have been to other Ivy restaurants which we enjoyed more Overall a very good meal but the experience could have been even better.
