Food was really good everyone in our party enjoyed what they had chosen. Surroundings are beautiful, have visited the Ivy before in York but the building in Liverpool that used to be a bank is absolutely beautiful.

We visited today for a catching up lunch after several months and it was a great atmosphere in the bar area. We ordered a fillet steak and a ribeye and both were cooked to perfection medium rare. The sides (new potatoes, chips, creamed spinach and sprouts) were a great addition to each steak. My friend enjoyed a house larger and I enjoyed two glasses of rosé. I finished the lunch with the passionfruit pavlova which was light and refreshing. All the staff were very attentive during out time dining.
