It was perfect from start to finish. The food is flavourful, original yet classic and delicious. The restaurant is beautifully lighted, the noise is surprisingly low for such a wide space, and a special thank you to our waiter James who was lovely, gave us good advice and a special treat for my mum’s birthday. It’s a truly special place !

The Parakeet is a wonderful local, the room is buzzy and cool, the food excellent and staff great. This time, I had a guest with a number of food intolerances and our waiter and the chef annotated what would work and what can be altered. This resulted in a great meal for a difficult eater so thanks! We enjoyed the wine by the glass too as there was a wide range available. A great experience.

This isn't our first time visiting the Ivy Asia, however we normally go to the one at St Pauls. Mayfair was a first and it was everything we hoped it would be. The staff were absolutely outstanding - all of them went above and beyond to be helpful and courteous. And we have decided that we will be coming back at the beginning of Feb to experience it again.
