It's the first time any of us in our group have dined at the Ivy Asia St Pauls and we weren't disappointed. We enjoyed a team lunch, the quality of food and menu choice is amazing. The décor is beautiful too. For a lunch service, it was good, we didn't feel rushed nor did we have to wait long at any point. Highly recommend for somewhere that isn't your run of the mill lunch option!.

We recently visited this Aun as a group of five and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food was exceptional, with beautifully prepared dishes. The ambience was also delightful, creating a warm and inviting setting for our evening. However, the service fell short of expectations. We had to repeatedly request wine and food, which disrupted the flow of our meal. For a restaurant in this price range, we anticipated more attentive service. While we loved the food and atmosphere, improved service would elevate the experience to match the premium pricing.
