    From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service truly outstanding, and the atmosphere just perfect. A special shoutout to our waiter — a friendly Scottish gentleman (sorry I didn’t catch his name) — who went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Everything about this place impressed me. Can’t wait to come back!

    The restaurant is very loud and chaotic. We were seated just by the toilets. The hostess was willing to move us. The service was slow. The food is just average and expensive.

    Hmmm. Where to start? We were sat by a friendly hostess. Waited about 15 minutes at our table. No server, no water, no nothing. The restaurant was sparsely populated, which wasn’t a good sign, but maybe we were early for brunch? There were actually more staff at the restaurant than patrons. Except, none that actually provided any service. To us, anyway. We walked out.

    Fish and chips was delicious, one member of staff in floral Jacket quite surly, didn’t want to be sat by the toilets so had to go back to the front door to wait for another table, the food was delicious,the breakfast tea and earl grey tea were both horrible.

    Service they have to bring it up a couple of notches compare to other Ivy branches. Luckily the food from the kitchen is great, overall good place to catch up with friends in W8 area.

    We enjoyed a nice Easter brunch at The Ivy. When I asked out hotel's concierge where he would take his mother if he were taking her to brunch he immediately said The Ivy. It did not disappoint. The service was great and we found our meals delicious.
