    Hi we had a lovely first time experience at The Ivy last night our only gripe was that our waiter was just too overbearing. He came and took our two plates away when my friend was still eating and that made her stop eating too . Shame you don’t have Malibu !!! 😢 Ps The Snowman pudding was amazing 😀

    Lovely staff but food was not hot so sent it back!!! The manager came over and said it was the correct temperature if it was we wouldn’t have sent it back!! Offered complimentary coffee I said a glass of wine would be nice but coffee was all we were getting. To be honest I have eaten in several different venues of The Ivy but wasn’t impressed with the food at the Exeter brassiere won’t be rushing back 😕

    A disappointing night really. The food was like warm at best, the prawn cocktail had no avocado and was sloppy, the calamari was tepid. The main courses were much better but when we looked at the Bill…we just thought…it wasn’t worth it and we won’t be back.

    Service was attentive. Food was average, after there was some confusion with the breakfast we’d ordered. We received something different to what was on the menu! Didn’t live up to The Ivy hype.

    Lovely staff and service but the food was a big disappointment, particularly the value for money. We had a voucher for breakfast for 2 to the value of £60. We were given a separate menu with no prices we made us suspicious i.e. because we had a voucher were they marking up the prices? We had 2 full English, hot drink, cold drink and toast which actually cost just over the £60 value of the voucher. Absolutely extortionate for what we get. Quality of the food was good but no more than that, portions were poor. I personally think it was overpriced by about £20.
