    The new Dubai chocolate dessert is a joke. Generally the food and service levels have taken a dip in the last year or so.
    The Ivy Cafe BlackheathResponded 3 days ago
    Hello Baruni, We are very sorry dessert wasn't up to your expectations and gave your feedback to chefs also. Hope you can give us another chance in the future. Have a great end of week.

    Back again and never disappointed. Had the new specials, Veal Sirloin and Grilled Tuna, absolutely delicious. Also we tried and new desserts, Pistachio Dubai Bombe and Strawberry Elderflower Trifle, truly scrumptious! Paloma and Stela provided a very professional and courteous service. We’ll be back again soon!

    The food was not cooked as requested and returned to the kitchen and was returned to the table still not cooked as requested and when attempting to eat it due to the delays was found grisly and unpleasant and ulimately inedible
