   Whenever I feel the need for a bit of uplift, The Ivy in Blackheath is the place to go. Bright welcoming smiles, courtesy with coat hanging and escorting to table. I feel like the Queen. Table superbly set with the distinctive ivy designs. Glasses are sparkling napkins nice and crisp and a decent size. My negroni was wonderful. I had the monkfish and prawn curry which was delicious and perfect for the hot summer day. Ice cream made with fresh cream and good ingredients with a home made shortbread finger. Double espresso and ready to go.

   Went yesterday and 3 weeks ago. Wanted the same lunch but was told I couldn’t have caramelised onions in my beef baguette this time ! Also ordered sorbet asked what flavours were available and one he said was salted caramel . I have never heard of that as sorbet but was assured it was. I was served up ice cream

   The portion sizes are very small and hence it is extremely over priced for what is on offer. Whilst the service was good, they forgot the only side we ordered. The quality of food is sub par - linguine pasta with Courgette hardly had any courgette and there was no tomato sauce. For the price being charged it is just not worth it I have been to The Ivy in Central London a few times and is far better than The Ivy in Blackheath.

   The food was delicious and they even bought me a little surprise as it was my birthday. My only complaint is that I had the blackened cod and then a dessert and I was still hungry and I'm a small eater. I think the fish should have come with potatoes for something

   I have been to The Ivy on many occasions. I was deeply disappointed this time. I had to wait 20 minutes + for a drink which I had ordered and then reminded the staff of. The food was cold and management clearly does not treat customers the same. A deflated experience. I hope the next time will be much better.

    I like the Ivy Cafe. Particularly if you want a quiet or more intimate catch up in a calmer atmosphere. The food is nice but what really elevates it for me is the cosy decor, comfortable seating , well laid out floor plan with lots of private nooks, and high quality service. Because of this, I’d chose it over other similar quality food options in the area.

    Staff and food were excellent. The atmosphere in there was pleasant. The table was not very nice as it was directly under the air conditioning outlet. The chairs were not the most comfortable ones as there was no full back support.

    A birthday lunch. We asked to be moved along with two others tables due a bad smell which we were told happens from time to time! Service was superb as always. We chose set two courses and one of my guests had to send her main back as it was cold. Again issue addressed immediately. We have been many times for lunch and dinner without problem. We will return

    Service was friendly but food was very disappointing for a birthday visit. Our main courses had been left sitting around for some time before being served which hadn't done the lemon sole any favours. I asked if it could be redone as fish looked very dry and crisp, capers were crisp and watercress had shrivelled up under the heat. This was done and waiter spoke to the chef and then explained to us how the fish was cooked which was rather annoying as it was the heat rather than cooking which spoilt the fish. The fish curry seemed to withstand the heat though in hindsight it may well have been better if I'd taken the waiter up on redoing this; it was nowhere near as excellent as the duck curry I'd had weeks back which was out of this world fabulous. I'm hoping this was just a bad day as we like the Ivy in Blackheath.

    Expected to get the a la carte menu as the Brunch menu, as per website, finishes at 3.45 pm which was the time of our booking. Apparently that was the only menu they do and they recently changed the menu so the item I had found on the website was initially not available. However the waitress that had started serving us managed to persuade the chef to do the item I was after. Taking the order took a while,but food was served quickly. The Paremesan Truffle Chips are fantastic. After finishing the main course we did not have starters, we were given the dessert menu and then waited a long time for the order to be taken and the new waitress did not know what ice cream and sorbets they offer. Nice touch was the profiteroles to share as an extra as we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. All in all not what we are used to having been there before. I do understand the struggles hospitality is going through at the moment, but even taking this into consideration it was not up tobpar
