   It’s not always easy being a vegan and dining at a restaurant that doesn’t specialise but tonight I was blown away by the quality of the food which was so flavourful. There wasn’t a huge amount of choice for me but I had the Asian salad and the plant based curry and they were bursting with flavourful ingredients. It’s just an annoyance that there were so many vegetarian dishes that could have so easily be veganised. All five of us enjoyed our meals, the service was great - as always - and the cocktails were scrumptious. It is such a shame that the side of Brussels sprouts had butter on them meaning I couldn’t have them, and I absolutely love them so had to miss out for the sake of substituting cow butter with plant butter. But all in all it was a lovely night out and The Ivy put on so many speciality Christmas foods and drinks. If you’re a meat eater you will love this place as the food choices are vast.

   Our server was pleasant, however drinks took a long time to arrive. We waited 25 minutes for our second drink. Steak medium/ well but it was very much well cooked. No steak knife offered. Food was ok

   Overall we were disappointed with the cost of the two course Christmas meal. At £55 per head the price point was excessive when compared to the other options on the menu.

   The staff at the start were lovely and we did arrive late however they did move us so we were able to stay longer which was nice so thank you. The staff member serving us after wasn't the happiest and one of the hosts but overall most of the staff there were lovely as you receive at an Ivy. Sunday chicken roast was ok nothing special I have had better. Was surprised they do not have a vegetarian roast. But overall I do like an Ivy and I would go back to that branch. :)

   Beautiful place to eat , great food and really friendly staff, but for whatever reason they struggled horribly with bringing drinks that had been ordered. Food came out promptly and was beautifully cooked, but drinks had to be requested again and again before they were delivered to the table , some were then still missing, I think it was just a bad night for the bar which was a shame

   I generally love the Ivy, but on this occasion the fish and chips were overcooked and the buffalo mozzarella salad with honey was overly sweet - although that might be a personal preference.

   Food was warm- toast were rock hard and cold- tea was cold sugar didn’t come out until 30 mins after tea- when asked informed just a second. Avocado was rock hard. However when mentioned- they immediately replaced with new avocado and toast. And gave us free drinks.
