Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
The Ivy Restaurant is the kind of place that feels like it’s trying a bit too hard but still ends up looking glamorous. Sure, it’s got a swanky vibe with all the classic decor, but is it worth the splurge? Jordan's birthday treat might have been extravagant, but finding out water costs an extra fiver is the kind of twist that’s less ‘surprise party’ and more ‘awkward dinner table chat’.
Most dishes get a thumbs-up, especially the aubergine which some claim is exceptional. But then you've got the odd service hiccups that make you wonder if they’re more focused on appearances than actual dining delight. If you’re here for the Insta-worthy snaps and a touch of elegance, go ahead. But don’t expect flawless service. You might just find yourself wishing you chose a McDonald’s drive-thru instead.
"Service is impeccable."
"Claudia gave us the best customer services I have received in a very long time."
"Beautiful food, but water adds £5.50 to the bill."
