    Beautifully decorated in true Ivy style, this one has a great layout, which makes it more personal for a couples date than some, which can be a bit cafe like. Felt food choice was a bit limited, but enjoyed the cottage pie- wouldn’t normally order that. Service was perfect- attentive but not over the top- really enjoyable evening!
