We visited Dublin for new years and were told by many to make sure we got a reservation at the ivy while we were there. It did not disappoint! The ambience was beautiful and our waitress was one of the sweetest and nicest person. The food, drinks, and desert were all delicious! We will definitely be going back if we are ever in Dublin again!

We had the surprise A La Carte menu, and more than once I told my partner, "This is the best thing I've ever eaten". Everything was exquisite, the service was perfect, and everyone was attentive and kind. It's a beautiful space, too! Highly recommend Glover's Alley for a wonderful fine dining experience.
