    Always nice to visit the Ivy in Cardiff , I would say today was the first time it all seemed a bit more robotic and impersonal, though in fairness christmas eve and everyone very busy, reception greeting warm as always . .A pleasant visit just not superb as we have come to associate with the Ivy

    Had chicken roast dinner. All the food on the plate was frozen. Expected much better for £25 plus service charge of £10!

    I’ve been a few times but this time was the worst to date. We were offered water with our wine and then charged for it which felt a little cheeky. The portion was smaller than it has been in the past and the waiter seemed irritated which wasn’t very pleasant. As the meal came to £90 for food and a bottle of wine and meal for 2 I would have hoped it would be better.

    I’ve been to the Ivy multiple times Service is usually impeccable. Today it was awful. Incorrect order. Lots of waiting. I love the Ivy. They just need to improve service.

    We sat downstairs by the door after a long wait to be seated despite having a reservation. It was cold in this area so was uncomfortable the whole meal as they couldn’t move us. From the start our sever unfortunately misheard our orders so food and drink kept on being returned. The team nicely recovered the service mistakes but it was a shame as we were trying to celebrate Christmas with our mum. Anyway, food was delicious and the setting was nice. Not sure I would rush back.
