    As usual the Ivy Victoria Quarter was consistent with my expectations and succeeded with a great atmosphere, wonderful food and attentive staff and particularly our waiter Stephen who was very kind and patient with our group. The little extras of Christmas crackers were also good quality and the restaurant felt very festive.

    Wonderfully presented food set our tastebuds alight as our food arrived. Wine was good and chilled nicely. The courses were a little far apart and we had to ask for the bill. Overall a great memorable time

    Excellent experience. The food was first class, beautifully presented, great ingredients, and wonderful flavours. A chef at the top of his game. The wine pairing was also really good (if a little expensive at £70 per person for no more than a bottle of wine each), but it certainly adds to the overall experience. The waiters were courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. We spoke to Chef Jono as we left which was great to be able to share our thanks directly with him and talk about his restaurant. HIghly recommended and will return at some point.
