• Modern European • Covent Garden
Booked 146 times today
The Ivy restaurant has been a firm fixture on London’s dining and social scene since 1917. The restaurant and private room upstairs are the epitome of real glamour. A shimmering central dining bar in the restaurant draws admiring attention, and the signature harlequin stained-glass windows, oak panelling and striking contemporary art collection ensure the longevity of this very British of dining institutions. Executive Chef Gary Lee creates balanced seasonal menus, featuring Ivy classics, but accounting for today’s tastes, incorporating more Asian dishes, salads and vegetables, and the advent of a “sea and shells” section. Director Fernando Peire leads a strong and experienced team to deliver the unfaltering service for which The Ivy has become well known over the years. The Ivy welcomes customers without reservations at the central dining bar, where the A La Carte and Set menus are both served.

    We loved the experience. My daughter has a severe nut allergy (specially walnuts), and we loved their determination to adapt and effectively communicate what she could and couldn’t eat. They have a detailed allergen menu that you can check beforehand in their web, which we did. Our server was great, very attentive and knowledgeable in the allergy matter, we didn’t catch his name but he was tall, I imagine the other servers are also educated, but we wanted to thank him for the experience. The food was very good, you could see the founder is danish as the salmon and back cod dishes were excellent quality (we’re Spanish so we’re used to better tuna but this one was really good nevertheless). our favourite was the black cod maki with red onion.

    In addition to the normal criteria of food, service.ambience we can also add “response in a crisis”. For this we give the team 11 out of 10 for being phenomenally supportive when one of our dinner party suffered a seizure. Their response with an on site first aider coupled with calling emergency services and the way they managed the whole situation with calm urgency and empathy to all concerned was both impressive and appreciated.

    Loved it.. don’t go to the Ivy and think it’s “posh” it’s good food and service with “feel good” menu. Special mention to the service staff, Paulina and the short haired waitress. Creme brûlée needs to be in a ramekin and a crunchy top, not flat and sugary with a blow torch.. everything else is good.. see you soon.

    Went ALL IN for lunch. Perfect amount for 2 blokes washed down with a very pleasant pale ale. The service was excellent, very patient and they dealt with a dairy intolerance with clear understanding of what was possible. Will be going back as I want to try the steaks next. Great value business lunch in a super location.
