    Beautifully decorated in true Ivy style, this one has a great layout, which makes it more personal for a couples date than some, which can be a bit cafe like. Felt food choice was a bit limited, but enjoyed the cottage pie- wouldn’t normally order that. Service was perfect- attentive but not over the top- really enjoyable evening!

    The restaurant is beautiful and the quality of the food is superb. It's a perfect balance of feeling like a bit of luxury and not being overly stuffy. We went with our kids who were very welcomed but equally good for a date night or with friends. It's a gem of a place.

    Full disclosure as always - myself and my wife love this place. We had been blown backwards on our 30 mins walk on a “bracing” February afternoon. Entering GFP is like getting a big warm. Coffee was gorgeous and the Famous Roast Chicken sarnie really hit the spot. The service was excellent as always.
