   The food was great but the service was terrible and way too fast we were finished our meal in about an hour. Not a dining experience in my opinion. A real shame. Slow it down please.

   Always love eating here but, as always, a trip to the loo is soooo below par. The banister rail is disgustingly sticky! The kitchen is upstairs and I can only assume it’s food residue - yeuck….. Needs urgent attention - like a new maybe metal rail which would be easy to keep clean.

   Somewhat “hit and miss” with regards to the curry that we ordered . Mine was fine whilst my husband and daughter had very little sauce and contents. All felt as if it had been delivered with very little care. Is a shame as it is normally better than that.

   I’m profoundly deaf and the staff were very accommodating to find the perfect table for me in a quiet corner. Meeting my friend for the first time since lockdown, to sit back and enjoy the ambience, food and drinks was fantastic. Also to have a conversation and be able to hear. Perfect venue for me, can’t wait for my next visit.

   Disappointing to be honest, service wasn't great, started well but it took a long time to take a dessert order by which time we were past wanting something, then we had a long wait until getting the bill, which we had to ask for and then another wait to pay. The food was average-over cooked shepherd's pie and one meal delayed. Overall not a great experience and not good value for money. Won't rush back sadly

    I went to the Ivy in Marlow for the first time yesterday. The overall experience was very good. I would not choose the butternut squash dish again, it was a main course costing over £15, it was not only small but really not very nice. Portion size needs addressing as well as flavour and value for money regarding that particular dish. I don't like to send food back when there is nothing actually wrong with it but I wouldn't choose the dish again. My friend was happy with the eggs benedict and the espresso martini was fantastic so well cone on that! I will be returning to try a different dish next time.

    It was lovely to see The Ivy Marlow Garden busy last night and as usual the ambience and quality of the food was up to the usual high standard. However the service was not good as there didn’t seem to be enough staff for all the covers. We had to wait ages for our table and consequently ended up starting our meal an hour later than our booking. The waiter was apologetic and did offer us complimentary appetisers which was a thoughtful touch.

    My salt and pepper squid was served in a cloth napkin as a starter making this very difficult to eat, main course was a sirloin steak which had a lot of a gristle/tough, which was served late, drinks service took a long time. Very disappointing experience if this is the way that the restaurant is going.

    Arrived slightly early. Table was ready. Waitress/service was good. A little more guidance on offering side dishes would have given a higher score, but food was excellent, and leave room for the sticky toffee pudding and crème brûlée which were the best. A very enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

    Having tried The Ivy in York we decided on one closer to home for our anniversary. I booked 3 weeks in advance. Couldn’t fault food or service but we were shown to a table in the middle of the floor by the back door into the garden - not an ideal place to sit, very draughty! For that reason I would think twice about rebooking which is a shame as we liked everything else about our experience!

    We had a most enjoyable lunch. We were very impressed with the staff they all looked very smart. My only criticism would be that the Ivy cottage pie could have been a tad hotter but we didn’t mention it and ate the lot! Lovely dessert and coffee also delicious mocktail.

    We arrived slightly early so had to go away for 15 minutes as no room. When served, the staff were very polite. Not as attentive as your staff at The Ivy in Covent Garden. The food was very good, although not overly hot. No Sticky Toffee Pudding left but the Creme Bruce was lovely. A lovely touch with the cake and candle for my birthday. I made the booking and as a surprise my husband changed the booking from 3 to4 as our son was coming as a surprise. He requested that the new booking confirmation be made to a separate email address, to keep the surprise. Apparently, this was not possible due to me having booked through Open Table. The restaurant is gorgeous and a great atmosphere. I would come again to see how the experience compares.

    We went for dinner to celebrate our son passing his 11+ test. He specifically asked to go to The Ivy, and he absolutely loved it! We sat outside under the heater and found it very special, albeit a little bit fresh! Great food all around, the chocolate bomb was a real hit with him. He now says he wants to go back soon! Thank you for a lovely evening ;-)

    I thought it was all good but certainly not amazing for the price. The summer garden afternoon tea I had here a few months ago was amazing and enticed me to rebook for my husbands birthday.

    Excellent food and ambiance. This was my 2nd visit to Ivy Marlow, my only apprehension is when you enter the restaurant one is hot with the strong smell of fish cooking and for anyone who is not a fish lover would be put off. It’s not pleasant and perhaps there is a ventilation problem. Also noted that the music playing was not inkeeping with the restaurants ambiance perhaps a review. Other than that for a birthday meal lovely, good service, good food.

    It was a lovely meal but partly our own fault really but we felt we were rushed a little. Would have been nice to enjoy our Gin & Tonic drink before our bottle of wine and our starters all turned up in quick succession. We should have waited to order whilst enjoying our drink. The restaurant decor is fabulous and the staff all friendly.
