    Decor upmarket. Good atmosphere. Waiter was lovely but we didn’t appreciate being told by his supervisor that we had to hurry up as our table was needed in 15 minutes when it was less than 50 minutes since our booking began. Food was mixed - fish and chips excellent but the starters nothing to write home about.

    As a long term fan of the Ivy, sadly this was my worst visit, as usual the food was great and fairly priced. The service is usually what makes the Ivy extra special, today there was a lot of disorganisation, waiting and a number of drinks forgotten, it fell well below the usual high level of service. The staff are usually on the ball and superb .
