    We booked a table for five, noted it was for a birthday, and we had a small dog so requested an outside table. Beautiful setting and courtyard- made us feel like being on holiday. Excellent service and a very enjoyable meal. Special birthday candle in a scoop of ice cream added an unexpected surprise to the evening. Highly recommend.

    The beautiful Ivy brassiere is always a safe bet if you want attentive service, good quality food (well presented) and gorgeous surroundings. I made a last minute booking to celebrate my daughter’s exam results for brunch and we had a lovey, chilled celebration. I very much appreciated the congratulations dessert which was presented as a surprise. This extra detail highlights the impeccable service and great customer experience. I’d highly recommend a visit for so many wonderful reasons - they do fabulous cocktails too’

    This is our favourite restaurant in Oxford (and there are some very good ones). Food is always excellent, service is welcoming and there is a great atmosphere - chilled at lunchtime, lively in the evening.
