    A Sweet Birthday at Ivy We celebrated our toddler’s 2nd birthday at Ivy, and it was perfect! The staff was warm and attentive. The food was delicious for adults and toddler-friendly (pancakes were a hit!). They even surprised us with a candle-lit dessert, making the moment special.

    Service was absolutely dreadful. The waiter was v nice but totally overstretched and repeatedly got the order wrong. Wait time was 1 hour for afternoon tea!!! We were then overcharged quite significantly and had to spend time correcting the bill. Not impressed at all
