   Not great service, table booked for 7, got seated at 7.45 and no orders taken for another 30 mins, waiter less than interested or happy to be there, xmas snowmen drinks ordered for the girls but no snowmen on top, food cold, not the Ivy experience we expected for our Daughters graduation, definitely not worth the service charge, shame this Ivy doesnt live up to other Ivy experiences we’ve had around the country.

   Hello Tony, We sincerely apologise for the delays you experienced during your visit, as well as for the lack of service. This is not the level of service we strive for, and we completely understand your disappointment. We have followed up with your server regarding this. We’re also sorry that the snowman drink did not meet expectations, unfortunately the lack of garnish has been out of our control and this should have been confirmed with your party when being ordered. Again, we shall also be following up on this. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We would love the opportunity to make it up to, your booking profile has been updated to ensure that you have much better experience should you return to The Ivy. Many thanks, The Ivy Temple Row

   Waited 30 minutes for drinks Food ok, cold pea puree on fish cakes, ribeye slightly over cooked, service non existent. For the price you have to get the basics correct

   Very slow service. Drinks were very good. Had to wait for 15 minutes for reserved table. No one offered to take our coats. Service charge felt excessive for the poor service. Had to ask for water twice and eventually got it after 30 minutes of being seated. I would go back for the drinks only, food was average, but disappointed by the service.

    The service was exceptional, thank you Antoine, but the large piece of shell in my daughters (not cheap) Lobster linguine really put a dampener on her experience, especially as it caused pain in her mouth due to not expecting it.
    

    The Ivy Temple RowResponded on 2 December 2024

While we strive for perfection in every dish, it’s clear we fell short in this instance, and we sincerely apologise for the discomfort this caused her. Please rest assured that we’ve shared your feedback with our kitchen team to ensure extra care is taken to prevent this from happening again. We do hope that you will be back to visit us again soon for a much better experience. Many thanks, The Ivy Temple Row
