    Service started mediocre and fell away as the service progressed. Forgotten orders and incomplete orders due to lack of availability without even being informed made the experience quite dull. Food was good, however I would never consider booking here again.

    The Ivy is reliable and dependable- this is obviously a newer location and was very nicely decorated. Tables a little close together so when it got full was hard for my dad (who is hard of hearing) to follow the conversation. Service impeccable, food steady (duck curry was excellent) Would go again.

    Loved the audio levels on music and the ambient noise was nicely absorbed by furnishings - all conversation was clear and easy to understand. Felt expensive, but good value for money. Vegan menu was small, but all options sounded delicious. Portion size for vegans does need be a little larger than meat dishes though - vegetables don't fill us up in the same way! A fantastic night out.

    Friendly service and an amazing Orange bar. Food was below par though. An Ivy burger which I tried the first time was really very dry and really rather boring....my fault for being a purist and trying without cheese, though I can't see a slice of cheese for ~$2 quid extra, that making it any better. Chicken Satay sticks for starter was leg meat so a bit chewy - really not that good. OK value but mainly due to the Ivy's decor etc - so a 4 star not a 5.

    The Ivy Soho Brasserie is always a great experience, the surroundings are excellent, the food tasty. It was a little unexpected that the service this time around wasn't up to their usual high standard - we had to wait a long while to be seated, then a very long time to order drinks, order food, and even for the bill. Still a lovely experience, but a little less organised than usual.

    Music was far too loud! The young waiter was nice but not very experienced. We waited a longtime to be served. We had a wobbly table which wasn’t rectified Our nibbles never arrived. Our main course was tasty. The coffee was good. Overall a very mediocre experience

    The Ivy is falling into the trap of expanding fast and putting £ before service. The brand is being badly diluted. At the Soho branch, the food was ok, but service was terrible. There was no attention, I had to call them to clear our starter plates else I feel we’d never have received our mains. Again we had finished for some time and no one came to take our mains plates - no offer of desserts. White wine was taken away to a shared iced bucket but they never served us. In the end we finished our wine, and just ordered the bill. It’s a shame, as we had friends visiting from abroad and what I thought would be a safe bet turned out to be very disappointing.

    Lovely setting and atmosphere. Food was tasty but not quite at the level I expected at the Ivy. Most disappointing was the service, not at all attentive, had to wait 20 mins for drinks and share for all further drinks orders throughout our meal.

    Service was terrible - food came before drinks. Dirty looks given by staff. Desert came and had to wait 5 minutes and ask 3 different members of staff for a spoon. Waited 10 minutes for bill to arrive after asking.

    Went there before when it first opened and felt it was a bit 'out of the way', but now the area is well on it's way to being redeveloped, it turned out to be quite 'buzzy'.

    Terrible Experience. Bread took about 40 minutes to arrive and food about 65mins. Place had a loud DJ that completely ruined the Ivys experience. Regular at other branches but this one fell short of what’s expected from the brand.

    The worst service I’ve encountered at an Ivy and I’ve been to many. Only one senior waitress working. Three other young girls just standing at the back most of the time doing nothing. Not one smile from anyone and no personality between any of them. Seemed to be two managers there, a man and a woman but we’re doing very little managing. Our water arrived half way through our brunch. My sugar I requested never showed like the chips which never turned up. There was a warning sign as we entered as a couple left saying they’d waited 20 minutes for their order to be taken and nobody came. We had to call someone over for ours. Food wasn’t piping hot. Overall very disappointing for what was a beautifully decorated restaurant.

    Absolutely great meal - the servers really paid attention to the note I made on the booking about it being my Mum’s birthday and they made her feel very special with complimentary drinks and a pudding with a candle. Special mention goes to our server Rey? as he was great and he even sung Happy Birthday with me too without even flinching! A wonderful start to our evening in London.

    This used to be a favourite restaurant of ours, but the service has totally vanished. So many young inexperienced staff, with no interest in customer service at all. We waited so long for our cocktails, the appetisers arrived at different times, music too loud couldn’t hear yourself talk x constantly having to ask for service. The two tables around us were also having issues. Your certainly letting the brand down!

    3 of the things we ordered did not arrive, some of which we were charged for. Sadly I didn't have time to quibble over the coffees as we both had to get to other meetings but it was frustrating to see and extra £9 for drinks we never received, especially as the staff were aware of the issue. The squid was served with our mains FOC. General out take was that this was not at all what you'd expect of this chain, and I felt embarrassed to have taken my client there
