    My boyfriend and I visited the Ivy in Oxford for his birthday. We had the most incredible evening with amazing food and drink. Our experience was made even better by our server Jhavaughn who was incredible throughout the night. He was super friendly and helpful and we will definitely be coming back!!

    I love the Ivy but, sometimes they are just too quick to clear the table, if anything…even if it’s not finshed. Lost half a cup of espresso today!

    Being Sunday the Ivy was very busy . We had a reservation at 6 pm for a party of 8 . It was my son’s 19 birthday. Main course was delayed by about 50 min but once we spoke to the manager, he put things right . We were offered complimentary drinks and the food was delicious . Had a little surprise treat for my son arranged by the restaurant. All in all an amazing culinary experience.

    Very good service, friendly welcome. Beautiful surroundings, ladies room elegant. My husband had the shepherd's pie, enjoyed it but felt the portion was very small.

    Thank you for your kind words about our service, warm welcome, and elegant surroundings—we’re delighted you enjoyed your visit! We’re glad your husband appreciated the shepherd’s pie, though I’m sorry to hear the portion didn’t quite meet expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and I’ll be sure to share it with our kitchen team. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable experience—perhaps there’s something else on the menu you’d like to try!
