    Always had a very good meal at the Ivy, great atmosphere and very good attentive Service. Plus good well presented food. Need to be careful The Ivy does not price itself out of its market as they appear to be rising substantially. Overall veery enjoyable evening.

    There’s absolutely nothing to say about the taste of the food – it was extremely delicious. However, it arrived incredibly late, and the wine we had ordered at the very beginning didn’t come until we were nearly finished with the meal. On top of that, we noticed that a wine we hadn’t ordered was added to the bill. We paid the check and left without even objecting. Similarly, the bread we requested came only towards the end of the meal – by the time it arrived, we were already full.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m really pleased to hear you enjoyed the food, but I’m very sorry the service let the experience down. Delays with your wine and bread, as well as the billing error, are not acceptable and certainly not the standard we aim for. I’ll be sure to follow this up with the team to ensure we do better.

    Lovely place , food was pretty good , service was pretty lousy and it was quiet too . Value for money was poor as service let it down from what you are paying for
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback. While I’m pleased you enjoyed the setting and food, I’m sorry to hear the service didn’t meet expectations, especially on a quieter day. We always aim to offer great value through both our hospitality and menu, so it’s disappointing to hear we fell short. Your comments will be shared with the team to help us improve.

    The Ivy in Oxford is a great spot for lunch and drinks. I was there for lunch with a friend at the weekend and we had a lovely time. Service was great (I think our waitress was Molly) and the food and drinks perfect. Nothing was too much trouble but I do find this is the same through the Ivy chain. I will definitely return when next in Oxford, can highly recommend.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear you had such a great time with us and that Molly looked after you so well. It’s wonderful to know the food, drinks, and service all hit the mark. We really appreciate the recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back next time you're in Oxford!

    Good varied menu coping for all tastes. Our food was well-prepared, nicely presented and tasty. The service was personable and attentive throughout. The wine prices were extortionate. We opted for a bottle of pinot rosé which still cost over £30 but tasted very watery. Not sure why Ivy have to make such huge profits on wine. Other places nearby manage to serve much more drinkable wine at lower prices.

    Thank you for your feedback. I'm really pleased to hear you enjoyed the food, presentation, and service during your visit. I’m sorry to hear the wine didn’t meet expectations and appreciate your comments on pricing. We aim to offer a range of wines to suit different tastes, but I’ll be sure to pass your feedback on to the team for review.
