Our server (guy with dark hair, sorry didn’t get his name) was absolutely brilliant. We were 6 loud people and he got us to listen in such a lovely, tactful way we didn’t feel interrupted. He marshalled our order as people changed their minds and totally made the evening. I hope the Ivy sees this and can reward him as he was fantastic
The Ivy St Albans BrasserieResponded on 6 January 2025
Thank you, Ariane, for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear how much you appreciated Andrew's exceptional service. It's fantastic to know he made your evening so enjoyable. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We look forward to welcoming you and your group back soon!
