Service was not the usual attentive experience expected at an Ivy restaurant. Food quality was ok but not the usual high quality. We won’t be returning to this Ivy.

The lady who was serving us was very unhappy and kept rushing us to finish quickly. We invited friends and this was a very meaningful up with a friend who I haven’t seen for a while. We had tea, coffee, starter and main courses - the food was lovely but the experience was very rushed and staff attitude was very rude and stressful. I always loved the Ivy but this experience wasn’t pleasant.

This Ivy especially bas very bad service. The hostesses at front are not very welcoming. The waiters are not attentive at all. It took them 10 minutes after we sat to come and even ask for drink. Overall not good service unfortunately

Despite the restaurant cancelling our reservation (that had been made 2 months before and I confirmed), my husband and I had a spectacular meal. From the moment we arrived to the moment we exited, we felt welcomed and valued by our serving team and the staff. The restaurant had a wonderful vibe with a lot of energy. The food was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the Pumpkin and Squash soup which was served with table service pour over. Absolutely divine! The prices were quite reasonable - especially considering the exceptional food and drinks. It was a marvelous experience and I’m so glad that we made this part of our London experience.
