As usual, the Garden room at the Ivy Kensington is leafy, airy but also cosy. Quiet enough to chat and warm enough on a chilly day because of the heaters. The service is good, very professional and courteous. The food is consistently good. Thank you

Besides the great food & beverage, the service really stood out! John (the waiter on a placement from Shannon College) was out of this world!! Excellent service, a real gem, John really stood out and I truly hope you will be able to retain him at The Lanesborough after his placement. Very, very well done!

From when we arrived to when we left we were absolutely spoilt. Had a super starter, main and mince pies to die for, never had such a potent brandy cream!! Christmas cocktails were a nice touch. On the whole a chilled Christmassy afternoon.

My friends and I enjoyed the taste, presentation and service of the food. It was great to have the advice of the sommelier too. All staff members were accommodating and helpful when needed. The atmosphere was great as this time we were seated in the main part of the restaurant, where I prefer to be. We will return here for more - thank you!

One of my favourite local places for brunch. Food is excellent - we both had the Eggs Benedict with perfectly cooked poached eggs - and good value for money. The service was friendly and charming, as well as speedy and efficient, and the atmosphere lovely. Highly recommended!
