I’ve been to the Ivy many times and we were visiting for my sister’s birthday. The venue is lovely which is why I always come here for special occasions. Our server was friendly and helpful. Everyone was really happy with their meals and good size portions too. The buffalo mozzarella was very delicious. Lovely gesture to give my sister a free desert with a candle in it.

Not the "Festive Experience" we expected from The Ivy. The salmon and calamari were good as starters but the rye bread was crumbly and not nice. All the mains apart from my steak (which was excellent) were luke warm, fortunately we did not suffer any delays unlike our adjacent table. The Christmas pudding was good although the Christmas Brulee was mushy on top, it was taken off the bill. We thought we had been offerred complimentary coffees but ended up paying £8.50 for those. Our waiter Danni was effecient but went on a break and his replacement was not so attentive. Overall for £184 for two, not what we have grown to expect from The Ivy.

My friends chicken Milanese was overcooked and charred in places. She was reluctant to mention it as we were having such an enjoyable time.

Absolutely fantastic evening! The food was divine. Piping hot and well cooked. I have to say ambience wise the ivy Oxford is the best one Ive been to! Gorgeous place. The service was attentive without being too intrusive as well. And the little touch at the end to highlight our celebration was so thoughtful. Highly recommend. Thank you so much The Ivy ten out of ten xx
