   When we arrived we were told our table wasn’t ready and we were asked to wait standing for about 15 mins on the ground floor by the door. We were then taken to our table which was in an unpleasant corner of the restaurant just under two sets of speakers making it impossible to hear each other even if shouting. Far from ideal for a birthday dinner with my wife especially given I had asked at the time of the booking to get a table in one of the quieter areas of the restaurant. We asked to be moved and were happy to wait but were told that that was the only table and to take it or leave it. The food was excellent however but the overall experience left a sour taste.

   Lovely decor and setting. Staff was helpful and accommodating. I am glad wheelchair and lift access was available. Chicken dishes and dumplings were great but Salmon Fillet was below average. The only major drawback for me was that the music was too loud to be able to communicate with each other. But I will definitely visit again and recommend for special occasions.

   Couldn’t get a booking at my regular sushi spot after work so decided to come here. Pleasantly surprised! Food was decent, drinks pretty good. Service as expected! Will definitely come here again. Knocked off a star as the guests dining next to us were displaying inappropriate PDA for a restaurant and the staff did not ask them to leave.

   We had the tea which was mainly sweet food. The duck pancake rolls were tepid and the other savoury dish had a filling with a slimy texture and there was some tasteless sushi. It was beautifully presented but, sadly, not very tasty. The restaurant is amazingly decorated and if you really like Japanese cuisine, it’s for you. But it wasn’t for me. I won’t be going again.

   Food was good but nothing to write home about. Service was a little unfriendly and naive. Side dish arrived after dinner was finished yet still tried to charge for it and bill included a cocktail never ordered. Had to constantly keep asking for wine to be topped up which was annoying. Quite a loud atmosphere which was OK but music was pretty awful at times. Been looking forward to going here for a long time and overall disappointing so probably won’t return especially at these prices.

    Probably the most impressive and uniquely decorated restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food is of the highest quality and the staff go above and beyond. For such a fancy place, the dishes are reasonably priced.

    Service was appalling. Dessert took 40 mins to arrive. The server to start was amazing but left after our main and the service went downhill from there. The manager apologised and offered champagne but we don’t really drink so it was not about free house champagne which was awful. It was a ruined experience and bday for my sister.

    Not a great experience unfortunately. Service was poor. Despite giving dietary requirements on booking restaurant was unaware and server had no idea how to deal with an allergy. Made to feel uncomfortable and at no point during our visit did anyone ask us if everything was ok. Despite many visits to the Ivy and having been very happy in the past this time the experience was disappointing

    The service was very slow and the service charge was very high. We enjoyed our afternoon tea but I don’t think it was particularly good value for money. The restaurant’s decor is really nice. We enjoyed our time but wouldn’t be in a rush to return

    Fantastic food. Appalling service. Arrived for our 1.30pm booking to be greeted without any pleasantrys, no-one offering to take coats and told our table wasn't available and we would have to sit at the bar. Eventually sat. Food ordered and was fabulous but absolutely no attention from the staff. Repeatedly had to wave someone over to fill our water carafe. Then at 4pm with 4 tables either side of us free, several waiters came over and told us our time was up, they needed our table and we had to move to the bar. We resisted given they clearly didn't need the table. The food was superb and the setting and decor beautiful but part of the pleasure of dining out is being looked after and attended to. We felt as if we were on a conveyer belt. Shame....

    Great style- food is good- £53 for a few slices of wagyu is crazy. Watch out for the service time- you have 2hrs 15 and if you havent had sweet then you can miss out. Its popularity will support this policy for a while. Not hurrying back.

    Great venue. There was no room to accommodate a drink at the bar which was a shame. Our edamame were missed and some of the service was a tad short and snappy. Food was lovely.

    Called restaurant in advance that we were experiencing travel delays & that we would hopefully be there within the holding period, but maybe a few minutes late. Was told by an incredibly rude member of staff, in a condescending manner, that there was nothing they could do, and would have to give the table away if we didn’t arrive within that period, & that the next available table was 10pm (our table was at 6pm). Reception desk also stressed that we were ‘on the limit’ of the holding period, again, in a condescending manner. Our meal was punctuated by members of staff walking around with iPads looking at how we were progressing with our food, which lead for a very uncomfortable atmosphere, as we felt under pressure to finish our meal as quickly as possible. Not sure I would rush back after this experience.

    Thai Green Curry cocktail was AMAZING!! As usual, Ivy Asia was packed to the rafters. Great vibe and cool music for the resident DJ. Our server, Simon, was excellent. Attentive enough without being overbearing. Food quality great with something to please everyone
