Wonderful service. Thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary meal. I was really impressed that I was able to have a dessert today. I have difficult food intolerances and sometimes it can be an issue when it comes to a dessert. However today, I had the most wonderful dessert. So thank you. My day has been made. We always enjoy coming to The Ivy. Would highly recommend.
