    The experience was one of our worst with the Ivy and we use various restaurants around the UK. The service was very poor at the bar and at the table . Numerous times we asked for water did not arrive also table next to use had Rose wine and had to keep getting up to serve themselves. The food quality worst we have experienced the basic fish and chips was more batter than fish and over fried had better at neighbouring restaurants. My wife had a chicken dish ment to come with salad as described on menu arrived wive 4 pieces of rocket only . Understand busy but please do not let the brand name drop it’s normal excellence in food quality and service

    The food, decoration and ambiance were amazing but the service was incredibly poor and not up to the usual ivy brasserie standard.
