    We were a group of 9 and they tried to make us sit at a table that could seat 6 comfortably. When we asked for a bigger table we were told there weren’t any although next to us was a whole section with people in it. They said the section was closed! Much like McDonald’s does. We waited u til other tables were free and finally were seated. The deposit of £90 was not deducted from the bill and for a booking that costing £1035 it was a disappointment. Food was ok and our waitress was attentive but overall, not great value for money epitomised by the rudeness of the man who wouldn’t allow us to sit comfortably without our insistance.

    The food was good but we were continuously asked if we had finished our food and drink to the point it became embarrassing 😳 I was with friends I had not seen for several years and the unessessary constant interruption by several servers was daunting it spoilt our lunch, we understand and was made aware we were to release the table several times it made the whole time in the Restaurant a rush like we were being pushed out for the next sitting, I would not recommend this Restaurant if you wish to discuss anything with customers or friends, if you just want to eat in 30minutes and leave then this is the restaurant for you!

    We had our work Christmas party at the Ivy last evening. Unfortunately we were truly disappointed in the quality of the food, and value of the night. Thankfully, the service was exceptional, providing complementary champagne to make up for it to some extent. However, we would have expected the food to be competed as half of our party couldn’t eat it, it was that poor. Particularly the burgers were using frozen meat, crumbling bread and limited toppings.

    Good food but would recommend visiting outside busy times as the restaurant seemed to struggle with space (cloakroom full) and table/bar space.
    The Ivy City GardenResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Steve, thank you for rating the Ivy City Garden. It is very unfortunate to hear that your table was not ready at your arrival and that no cloakroom was offered. Please accept our apologies if the waiting staff was not able to make sure you had enough tap water for the table and we are very sorry if you were not happy with the experience. We wait you for lunch, hoping you will have a different service that could make change your opinion. Kindest regards, Marco,

    So rude. Rushed us off our table after hour and 15 mins. Dinner come up 5 minutes after being ordered so didn’t feel fresh. Overall waste of money, waste of time.
    The Ivy City GardenResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Dulcie, Thank you so much for rating and sharing your feedback with us! It is very disappointing to hear that you felt rushed and that dinner was served that quick. I hope that it was just an isolate situation and that you will have a better experience at our venue in the future. Kindest regards, Marco.

    Disappointing breakfast experience. Very slow service (surprising as there appeared to be more staff than customers)and luke warm food. Weak excuse from the manager. Such a shame as breakfast at an Ivy when in London has always been something to look forward to.
    The Ivy City GardenResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Jane, Thank you for rating. It is so sad to heat that service was slow and your food was not warm enough. Please accept our apologies if the experience was disappointing, we will share your feedback with the staff in order to do better next time. Kindest regards, Marco.
