    Not the "Festive Experience" we expected from The Ivy. The salmon and calamari were good as starters but the rye bread was crumbly and not nice. All the mains apart from my steak (which was excellent) were luke warm, fortunately we did not suffer any delays unlike our adjacent table. The Christmas pudding was good although the Christmas Brulee was mushy on top, it was taken off the bill. We thought we had been offerred complimentary coffees but ended up paying £8.50 for those. Our waiter Danni was effecient but went on a break and his replacement was not so attentive. Overall for £184 for two, not what we have grown to expect from The Ivy.

    The venue is beautiful, especially at this time of year so close to Christmas, our food, cocktails and wine were amazing, and the service was also wonderful. We had a perfect evening and would certainly come again.

    My friends chicken Milanese was overcooked and charred in places. She was reluctant to mention it as we were having such an enjoyable time.

    Absolutely fantastic evening! The food was divine. Piping hot and well cooked. I have to say ambience wise the ivy Oxford is the best one Ive been to! Gorgeous place. The service was attentive without being too intrusive as well. And the little touch at the end to highlight our celebration was so thoughtful. Highly recommend. Thank you so much The Ivy ten out of ten xx

    A Sweet Birthday at Ivy We celebrated our toddler’s 2nd birthday at Ivy, and it was perfect! The staff was warm and attentive. The food was delicious for adults and toddler-friendly (pancakes were a hit!). They even surprised us with a candle-lit dessert, making the moment special.
