   Food service was very slow and waited for over an hour. Food was below average on arrival coming from a set menu. Would not recommend!

   The staff were helpful and the guy who waited at table, very charming. The cheese soufflé was super. The fish cake was good too, though I prefer flour covering to breadcrumbs. The only issue was the very loud noise. The streets had been loud on my journey there and I just wanted to chill. I did get into it but thank goodness I was dining alone as conversation would have been tricky, if not impossible.

   Très déçue ! Soirée de St Valentin passée dans ce restaurant, un peu l’arnaque …. Notre serveuse était nonchalante et très froide, je comprends que le métier n’est pas facile ce genre de soir mais nous l’avons ressenti. La qualité des plats était passable, les olives n’étaient pas bonne, le choix du menu était trop simple pour le prix. La viande était bonne ! Le reste du menu aussi mais une purée un soir de st Valentin comme accompagnement c’est pas terrible. Il faisait très chaud dans le restaurant. Je n’ai pas eu de rose, comme convenue dans le menu. Pour une addition 230£ c’est une arnaque, très déçue …

   Service was rushed as it was Valentine’s Day and they clearly wanted to get us out as quickly as possible. Food was average. Tables very close together and not a relaxing environment. Not what you’d expect from The Ivy brand.

   Francesco was a phenomenal server. He could not do enough to accommodate us and those with allergies. His manner was professional but friendly. Great evening and fantastic food.

   Lovely early dinner with friends. All happy with our choices; I had shepherds pie, other fish and chips & fishcakes. Service was OK, could have been a bit more attentive but overall no complaints.

   Service was appalling, The waitress looked annoyed anytime we asked for something, had our waitress changed three times so never knew who to ask for drinks/food. Found a black spec in my drink, went and changed it and still got charged. The only time we received service was when we asked for the bill so we took the service off. Also the Sunday roast looks like Aunt Bessie Yorkshires and the stuffing is a small stale ball. Really gross

   Just unfortunately not to standard expected at the Ivy. Arrived on time and was taken to a waiting area as table not ready (it was available it just hadn’t been prepared yet?). Gave us a cocktail menu and said someone would return to take our order. No one returned. After 20 minutes of waiting without a drink, finally taken to table. After another 20 minutes, waiter came to take order, both food and drink. The food arrived first. Had to ask waitress for our drinks, which then came immediately. Shame as this all happening at the start put us in unhappy moods. Music was also too loud, it was a struggle to hear each other despite sitting next to each other. The food however was excellent.
