   The Ivy Brasserie feels special from the start you get a warm welcome, service is lovely and the space is exciting and glamorous. It's my 2nd visit and I really loved it, as did my friends. The Loos are gorgeous and the main area is great backdrop for photos.

   The service was impeccable. Ordered the fish and chips which was really lovely. My husband ordered chicken breast with beans, but a bit disappointed as there were no potatoes with the dish. I did share some of my chips. Beautiful restaurant.

   Thank you for your kind words about our service and the lovely fish and chips! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your meal and the beautiful surroundings of our restaurant. I’m sorry to hear that your husband was expecting potatoes with his dish. While our roast chicken breast is served with green beans and a delicious chicken jus, we appreciate the feedback and will certainly take it on board. We're glad you were able to share some of your chips! We hope to welcome you both back again soon for another wonderful dining experience.

   Good food and atmosphere. I went with some of my girlfriends I had not seen for a while. We were never pressurised to give up the table as we chatted away the hours

   The dining room is lovely. The food is good, but not great. However, the wait service could be greatly improved. I was left alone for almost 20 mins before I managed to get the attention of a server. To add insult to injury, the server entered managed to transpose some key numbers into the credit card machine and overcharged me. My fault for not noticing until I got back to the hotel.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I’m pleased to hear you enjoyed our dining room and found the food good, I’m very sorry that your experience with our service fell short of expectations. Waiting 20 minutes for attention is certainly not the level of hospitality we strive for, and I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this caused. Regarding the overcharge, I completely understand how frustrating that must have been. If you haven’t already, please do reach out to us directly, and we’d be happy to look into this for you. We truly appreciate your feedback, and I hope we can welcome you back for a much smoother experience in the future.

   The restaurant was extremely hot and I had to go outside twice just to cool down and go back in. The crème brûlée was clearly left out for a long time before it was served as the sugar that is supposed to be crispy was just soft and like jelly. The whole thing was room temp. A grill main should come with a side. Paid £28 for a sirloin and it didn’t come with a single side, the fat wasn’t even rendered. It was very tasty but frying the fat side a bit is chef 101. Also the bottled water wasn’t even chilled. That’s not all to say it wasn’t nice, it was a lovely meal. The pomegranate and spiced pear Bellinis were amazing and the sticky toffee pudding was the best I’ve ever had. But when you’re paying all that money, you’d expect the basic chilled water, included sides, and normal structure of a standard crème brûlée. Also just putting a glass dome over a dessert for no reason doesn’t make it fancy, it was just unnecessary.

   Thank you for your feedback. I’m delighted you enjoyed the Bellinis and the sticky toffee pudding! That said, I’m sorry the restaurant was too warm and that some dishes didn’t meet expectations. We appreciate your comments on the crème brûlée, steak, and water, and I’ve shared them with our team to improve where needed. Our grill menu allows guests to choose sides, but I understand this may not have been clear. I truly appreciate your balanced review and hope to welcome you back for an even better experience.

    This restaurant doesn't need a review. The name is enough.👌
