   Very Poor and slow service. Beef over cooked Thimble of gravy and took 20 minutes to bring more and some horseradish sauce (at least they had some this time) Not what is expected at this price point, or any price point for that matter.

   It was my Wife’s Birthday and she is a long time supporter of the Ivy unfortunately the service from reception let them down and us greatly. Due to an unknown/ suspected table mix up we were subject to an accelerated meal which before our two hour slot was up we were requested to leave our table. The surprise delivery of our bill and the young lady from reception stating awkwardly that the table was needed as people were waiting at the door !!!!!! and that we should pay the bill straight away. The manager was very apologetic on our way out when we explained how disappointed we were and said we would be compensated accordingly. We paid the service charge as the initial young lady who was obviously under pressure to serve us quickly was very good. Overall 3 stars reflects the inability of one member of staffs poor customer management skills and not stating her problem from the start. Otherwise great food as ever.

   Very poor service where we waited 30 mins after being seated to order a drink and food came after an hour. Food was fine but poor service took the edge off it.

   We had a very poor experience. Waiter rushed off his feet. No drink, not even water, for 40 minutes. Wine for the meal arrived before our pre dinner cocktails. Two of the menu choices were unavailable. Starter and main had to come one after the other because we had a show to go to. We agreed to this because it was the only way we were going to get our meal. Very rushed, unpleasant experience.

    Treated my friend to dinner did her birthday and it was fab! Delectable pink champagne, delicious food and wonderful service as always from Orlando! It was a Wednesday evening and not too busy so we had the time to really enjoy our food without being hustled to finish for the next sitting. Because it was so relaxed we decided to have dessert (which is unusual for us) and it was a piece of theatre that tasted wonderful. It was a fab evening!
