   The place and decoration are pretty, we asked for two dishes fish and chips which was good but the curry duck was flavorless and had very small duck pieces.. the bottle of wine we asked for was warm…

   Ordered one crispy duck salad, 2 T bone steaks and a bottle of wine. Duck salad is very strange combination with watermelon and ginger, steak has no difference in medium and medium rare. Overall services is not quick and detailed enough

   Thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that your recent experience did not meet expectations. The crispy duck salad is one of our signature dishes, and we aim for the unique combination of flavours to delight our guests – I regret that it wasn’t to your taste. I’m also concerned to hear about the inconsistency in steak doneness and the level of service you received. This is not reflective of our usual high standards, and I will review your comments with the team to ensure improvements are made. We value your feedback as it helps us to enhance our guest experience, and I’d love the opportunity to welcome you back to show you the exceptional dining experience we strive for.

   Excellent service, really delicious food and adore the space, so well designed- tables not too close together, high ceilings and very comfortable chairs and banquettes. The high Ivy standards throughout! We all loved it.

   The service we received from our waitress Lucy today was outstanding. We are a family of 4 who enjoyed a lovely pre Christmas lunch today. Lucy was friendly and professional and went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our time. A huge thank you to her. We will be back.

   The restaurant was busy on Saturday night in the lead-up to Christmas, but it was easy to find. A little noisy, which was fully expected. Despite her hectic schedule, our restaurant attendant Anastasia was attentive and considerate of my dairy intolerance. The starters and main courses were delicious; however, I thought the dessert selection was limited for those who avoid dairy. We would be happy to return, as we had a wonderful experience.

We'll be sure to share your kind words with her—she'll be thrilled to know her attentiveness stood out. We're pleased you enjoyed your starters and mains, though we're sorry to hear the dessert selection didn't fully meet your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll review our options to better cater to guests with dietary preferences. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable evening.

    Quite uninspiring food, found it difficult to find something I actually wanted to eat. Thought the Goose, Turkey and Duck Shepherd’s Pie sounded interesting, except it contained non of the above, just beef and lamb...so why call it that??? Food wasn't too bad, just extremely average.
    

    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded on 21 December 2024

    Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you found our menu uninspiring and the Goose, Turkey, and Duck Shepherd’s Pie disappointing. I’d like to clarify that the dish does include all five meats—goose, turkey, duck, beef, and lamb—as listed. However, I’ll share your comments with our kitchen team to review the proportions to ensure the flavours are well-balanced. We strive to offer a diverse menu to suit all tastes, and your thoughts will be considered as we refine our dishes. I hope you’ll consider visiting us again.
