   We had a meal yesterday evening, very slow service. We had to ask some to service us. Very unorganized the staff did not know what they were doing. I think they Actually forgot about us until we asked them. Can someone serve us. Food was not very good. Very disappointed with the whole experience.

   So this is the 4th/5th time of dining here. Service has usually been great but on this occasion our waitress really did not live up to previous experiences. We knew we had a time slot. 40 minutes to go and whilst some guests were still eating, she leant over him in a rude fashion to collect other plates and then she said you won’t have time for dessert as your table will be needed. Also ordered one beer which took 10 minutes to arrive, yet they were rushing us. We ordered a duck salad, 3 little pieces of duck, a rice dish that was over powered with lemon, prawn dumpling things that were not edible. none of the food was overly hot. We know it’s expensive as we have been before and so was expecting a hefty bill but really is not worth the money for the small plates of food that were served. Feel sad writing this because there is a lovely vibe to the Ivy Asia . This time everything for a fab dining experience was not.

   It was a beautiful dining experience. We loved the ambience and the DJ who chose great music. Food was all excellent and service was quick and very friendly. We came for my husband’s birthday and would come again for a special occasion.

   Beautiful decor and experience walking into the restaurant but the wow factor ends there. We waited 20 minutes to be seated. Granted the manager tried to do some service recovery by offering us complimentary house cocktails, but since a few of us don't drink alcohol, they replaced it with 2 pieces of mochis. Service was inattentive. We had to keep trying to get the staff's attention to order or request anything. The food was tasty but portions are small, even the large plates. We had 4 large plates between the 3 of us, and still walked away feeling unsatisfied.

   Ivy Asia did not live up to our expectations having dined in other Ivy restaurants. Why 'night club music' needed to be played so loud was beyond me and killed conversation. The ambience was a little too dark, I was not alone using the torch on my phone to read the menu, found that frustrating so too the easy choice of a set menu. Sadly this will be our one and only visit to an Ivy Asia. I will say food was ok, service was friendly and efficient.

   The food and service is outstanding, the ambiance and atmosphere is second to none to Brighton. 13.5% service charge is above what I'd choose to pay (10%) but I couldn't fault the staff.
