    Overall, it was a great experience. The steak I had was flavorful, though slightly on the fatty side, and the desserts, while delicious, felt a bit pricey. The service and atmosphere, however, were excellent. One area for improvement would be the bathrooms, as they could benefit from better cleanliness and some added fragrance scenting.

    Hi Paul, We really appreciate the honest feedback about your recent visit. We truly value your feedback regarding the desserts and bathrooms, and we will suggest this with our team to improve further. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great visit.

    A lovely venue and the service was good but the overall value for money was absolutely not. As a group of four middle aged women enjoying an annual get together we unfortunately left the restaurant feeling totally ripped off by the cost of the bill. Extortionate!
    The Ivy Cafe BlackheathResponded on December 7, 2024
    Hi Alison, I'm really sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing, especially during such a special annual get-together. It's frustrating that you feel like the value for money didn't match the experience! We hope that it doesn't affect you coming again in the future. Have a great day.
