   Lovely decor with fantastic bar. Tasty food with good set menu. Polite wait staff. But very cold seating in half the restaurant as blast of cold air every time the door opens. You need a velvet curtain to keep the heat in! And our table was not ready when we arrived. Plus our waiter was too busy and kept being distracted. But he was friendly and polite.

   The table for 4 people way too small even for 3 guests, was super uncomfortable to eat. The drinks service was super slow. Took them 35 min to bring coke and juice…asked for it 3 times as well. Then coffee came without milk. Food was good as always. It’s my second time in this Ivy and last time I had very similar experience. Feels like staff is new and they don’t know what they are doing half of the time. Definitely would consider going to original Ivy in Covent Garden instead , much better ambience and service .

   Service was all over the place. No salt/pepper on the table. Our wine arrived 3/4 through the main. They bought the wrong food twice, they bought the wrong bill. Food was tasty when the correct meal arrived but ultimately let down by the service…with a 13.5% service charge already included on the bill. Despite remaining a fan of the Ivy today’s visit has not done it justice unfortunately.

   We had a great time at The Ivy Market Grill. We had booked only the day before and were lucky to get a table which was in their outside area. The weather was about 14 degrees and the area was covered with with screens all around the edge and some plants. You could only access it via the restaurant. Not at all cold with some natural ventilation and lower level of music and not as many people as inside. Fully booked all the time we were there. Got 1 hr 45 mins and had time for 3 courses and tea/coffee afterwards. Very attentive level of service. Lovely food, well presented. Highly recommend the crab starter, duck curry and chocolate bombe & creme brulee.

   We were greeted by the lady on front of house for our booking on 19/03/25 at 1pm very rudely because I had my sleeping baby in the pram. She was not friendly and made me feel unwelcome with my child saying ‘next time let us know in advance if you need the pram’ when I cannot decide when my baby naps. We were looking forward to celebrating my mother’s 60th birthday today but we’re very disappointed and would not be in any rush to return. A real shame.

   Very good service, excellent food, tables a little crammed together but didn’t spoil our meal too much .

   Perfect location sat outside on the warm terrace but sheltered a little from passers-by. Great food, service, cocktails. Wine was mediocre tbh - went for their best glass of white but wasn’t enamoured. Would definitely recommend this venue - been to many Ivy restaurants and this didn’t disappoint
