   Not up to usual standards - think the kitchen staff have all gone off for the Xmas holiday. Over warm inside - and the lighting was too bright. Food was avg - except the duck salad which is reliably good - but could have done w more watermelon. Cocktails were too sweet and not cold. Our waiter was adorable tho and was trying very hard.

   Very disappointing compared to previous visits. Maybe it’s just this branch but not inclined to go back, which is sad after many happy experiences.

   We opted for the seasonal set menu….it was delicious. The Turkey Ballotine and the shepherds pie was delicious, my husband really enjoyed the shepherds pie saying it was rich & full of meat. I was going to order the snowman pudding which was served under a cloche and when lifted, wafted smoke/ dry ice …… love the theatre but it looked quite big so we went for the chocolate bomb …. delicious. Really lovely restaurant, the staff are all very friendly and the whole place was very festive. Lastly, it was our wedding anniversary… when we’d finished our meal our server came over with a chocolate profiterole with Happy Anniversary written on a chocolate square… lovely little touch. We would definitely come back here…. we really enjoyed our experience.

   Have been few times before all ok - this time too many people and not enough staff had to ask twice for water left without getting it, butter never came with toast had to ask, no sweeteners had to ask twice, tables seemed squashed in this visit, fried eggs & sausages undercooked Staff doing their best but too many people. Normally good value for the price charged afraid over priced for what we received, the local Cafe standards on this occasion are better for less than half the price, don't think we will visit again.

   We booked a corner table two weeks ago and when we arrived we were told there wasn’t one and the table offered was right by the entrance with people continually going in and out , so I refused and had to wait to get a better table . The meal was very nice and the waiter was good . However , I think it is outrageous that they charge 12.5% albeit optional service which for us was £26.50 and none of that goes to the staff . Shame on you The Ivy !

   Sebeel looked after us as we enjoyed a delicious Friday morning breakfast The Ivy Wimbledon is a fabulous restaurant It looks wonderful and it's always so lovely to visit this Ivy in the village The music was a bit loud which then makes some diners shout . I personally do not think we need music at breakfast

   Menu seems a bit limited at the moment, not enough variety for starters.
