    I had the best experience ever with my family for the Christmas season, the food, desserts, drinks, christmas specials and crackers were really high quality and fresh and tasty! What topped the experience was the kind and respectful staff, who we enjoyed talking to every time they came to our table to serve us and help clean up. This was the best Ivy we have ever been to, highly recommend it for a fabulous London evening :)

    My friends & I visited last night. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the beef from the Christmas menu & it was the best piece of beef I have had for a long time. I would say it was cooked to perfection. The staff as always where very friendly & service was excellent. We always look forward to coming to this restaurant.

    We had a lovely relaxing dinner , there seems to be much more space than when we would dine at the Fish Restaurant ..loved the trio who performed also and the staff were very attentive and so professional as you’d expect. We were pleased to see that area being put to good use as it always seemed empty in the evening once afternoon tea had finished and a wasted Space

    Lovely lunch as always at Brasserie of Light. Our server from the Dominican Republic was outstanding. Warm and friendly service, nothing was too much trouble for her. Food good and loved the new presentation of the chicken Milanese. We shared a bottle of Gavi which was excellent and good value. Great job team
