   Am surprised at all the glowing reviews, certainly doesn't mirror my experience. We were 10 mins early and table wasn't ready so we sat at the bar for 20 mins (until i finally got up and asked if somebody could seat us). The bar staff studiously avoided all eye contact so we were unable to order a drink while waiting - surely a missed opportunity? We sat outside, setting was nice, the waiter was very friendly and helpful (the only friendly waiter actually). The food was ok, nothing to get excited about but no major complaints (my salmon was half cold but was definitely edible if not enjoyable, chips looked and tasted like they had been under a lamp for quite a while before making it to the table). Cocktails were overpriced for what they were - nothing special. At some point i could no longer focus on the conversation at our table as there were several mice scurrying around the small outside area. Appreciate that this was outside, but it was extremely off-putting. One mouse was determined to hang out under our table as there was a bait trap nearby. We took our coffee inside at the bar where to my horror i saw at least two mice dashing around the place. Staff just carried on and generally appeared to be inconvenienced if you wanted to order or pay etc. I thought the whole experience was overpriced, overrated and not worth it. I wont be back.

   We were left waiting for our table for nearly half an hour and having moved our booking to 15mins later the day before we had lost our table outside but this was not clearly stated. Food was very good however and a nice ambience.

   All great until we tried to paid. We were seeing a theatre show straight after dinner so were in a rush and we struggled to get the bill for a good 15 minutes. In the end we just had to walk up to the waiter’s station and pay directly. Frustrating end to an otherwise excellent dinner.

   The food was very good but in 1hr 20 minutes I only managed to get a piece of fish, salad and one glass of wine. It took 25 minutes after being seated to get a glass of water. I had booked and told them I was going to the theatre but still the service was the worst I’ve ever had.

    Service was poor. Had to repeatedly ask for drinks. When drink’s finally arrived one was missing, had to chase. Food orders were missing had to repeatedly ask where missing food items were. I explained to manager that on this occasion we would not be paying service charge. He did not ask why we were unhappy he just grunted at us. The food was good, but the overall experience was the worst Ivy experience we have had and we are regular diners with the Ivy.

    Cramped condition on outside dinning area. 6 people at a table for 4 people. Very cramped. Service was slow lost our dinner order. Waited over an hour for main dishes to arrive. Staff blamed dinners for the error. Failed to apologise for poor service. Will not go back. Such a shame as it spoil our celebration dinner..

    It was the perfect meal for our 2 birthday celebrations. Food was fantastic and the service spot on. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a super evening dinner. Thank you to all the staff who waited on us, you were attentive without being over powering, service with a smile and recommendations when stuck for a choice of food. It was all a lovely experience.

    Beautiful! My friend and I always pay the Ivy a visit when we were passing through. It was the first time eating/having the avocado and eggs benedict there and I can honestly say it was some of the best eggs I have ever had. Service was warming, atmosphere is always a pleasure to be a part of and I always feel comfortable and looked after within the Ivy. Can't recommend enough!

    Food was beautiful, however service was awful, we waited 45 minutes for our drinks! Waiter was quite rude and abrupt wen we asked where they were! I have eaten here several times before and never had service like this very disappointed when I bought friends with me who had never eaten there before!

    Sadly this was not a great time on this occasion it was sooooo busy you were sitting on top of the next table !! So much so you could hardly get passed to get out Far to many tables booked and not enough room Our waiter was like a headless chicken running around we had to ask everytime for something Even though we booked in advance and turned up 15 mins early I feel we were put into the walk in area. The wine is very expensive and not much by the glass to choose from. Will not rush back here too greedy and not getting the service you pay for.

    The waiter in a noisy restaurant was bumped and spilled a tray of drinks next to our table. While he apologised- and they cleared up part of it, although left glass round my friend’s feet for the remainder of the meal, nothing else was done until I found glass in my meal! it would have been better service- especially at their prices- to offer to replace straight away rather than wait until I had glass in my mouth. They did replace at that point but made no adjustment to the bill and expected a tip, which we removed from the bill. The service was slow anyway and one of the waiters tried to make a joke out of it, calling it a ‘food challenge’. not great

    Food was good but for some reason even though there were loads of empty tables they decide to sit you right on top of each other. Found that really odd. Our table was too small for our breakfast to fit on so that was awkward and I found myself piling things up just so we could fit our drinks and plates on the table.

    It was great but unfortunately we had table outside and staff did not seem to react to rain situ outside as quickly as we would expect! I think it rains quite a lot! But in the end we were seated inside and had fab night but there was a bit of a wait to get table which was a little disappointing as booked table months ago!
