    I went for my daughters birthday, the table next to us received a birthday cake gift we did not and it seemed a bit rushed to get us off the table. Thanks.

    Extremely slow, my starter took over 45 minutes to arrive and the space between starter and main was a further 45 minutes. The couple that came after us, ordered the same food and received their food first. Only apologised for the delay after I moaned about the lengthy delay, otherwise service was very nice and friendly.
    The Ivy St Albans BrasserieResponded on 17 February 2025
    Hello Hamid, We sincerely apologise for the long wait times during your visit. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating it must have been. We appreciate your kind words about our team and will address this to ensure a smoother experience in the future. Thank you for your feedback.

    Glad to say that this lunch occasion is as good as my previously experience in Ivy St Alban. The food from the set menu was well cook, full of flavour and well presented. Staff was attentive. This restaurant has been opened for quite a few years now. It is impressive to see the decor is maintained to high standard, provide a lovely and relaxing setting for customers to enjoy the goof food.
