    Such very poor service overall. This establishment has badly went down hill already. No one on reception. The member of staff behind the bar had no work ethic at all. The cocktail i received was poorly made and when I addressed this with the bar staff he shrugged his shoulders! Standard of food was medicore. Dirty empty tables and waiter staff slow and didn't seem to know what tables needed served. Twice we asked for coffees and twice they were forgotten. We left without. The price did not reflect the experience we had and I will not be planning on returning any time soon.

    Food was delicious just portion size was a little smaller than expected. Service was pretty slow. Other than that drinks and ambience was very good. Would return in near future

    Beautiful building and nice decor as expected from the Ivy brand. Service was good. Starters of duck parfait and crispy duck salad were tasty, steaks on the 1971 menu were a bit bland, shepherds pie was fine but quite small serving

    We had read mixed reviews about the Ivy on line but we were pleasantly surprised. My arancini starter was very heavy although you did receive a good portion. My fishcakes for main were beautiful. There were 4 of us and everyone enjoyed their meal. The decor is beautiful. The famous toilets are nice but on a busy Sunday evening could have done with a freshen up. Service was quite slow but we didn't mind as we were happy to take our time and all the staff were very pleasant. Overall, we will be back.

    Beautiful restaurant. Love going to any of the branches but second time eating here & food had to go back first visit & twice on Sunday past. But disappointed, probably would go back. Staff were lovely & sorted problem quickly but unfortunately at this stage my husband was eating alone as we 3 were finished. Kindly they didn’t charge for his meal.
