- JJamieVancouver / British Columbia •20 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThis was probably one of the best lunches I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. I have been to an Ivy restaurant before in Windsor on my last trip to the UK but I don't remember it being quite this good. The food was extraordinary, service impeccable, and because I was by myself, I was able to observe the staff and how they operate. It was so fascinating watching such a well-oiled machine. I used to work in hospitality and it was a delight to watch. Mimi was incredible and so wonderful to chat with, she even picked up that I was Canadian, not American. The dessert was to die for as well. The whole experience really made my day. Not to mention the decor of The Ivy is just incredible. Even the bathroom was amazing. Highly recommend this chain if you are ever in UK, they have many locations to choose from. Cheers.More infoThe Ivy on the SquarePrice: Expensive• Contemporary British• Old Town•4.4
- JJamesEdinburgh/Midlothian •1 review4.0Dined 2 days ago1st class cocktails and excellent courses but, unfortunately, tempered by a loud screaming child. I'll never understand a proper cocktail bar as this is, welcoming families with buggies and loud children. It's never made sense to me. Nonetheless we'll always get here to sample the cocktails. They're 2nd to none.More infoThe Voyage of BuckPrice: Expensive• Contemporary British• Edinburgh•4.7
