Having wanted to dine at The Ivy since I was 20 and now late 50's it was one of my favourite experiences in London with my children. It did not disappoint. The service was superb, the waiter quickly realised my son has special needs and reacted accordingly, without judgement or prejudice, which was a refreshing change from other London venues we have been to. The food was the best I have had in years. Thank you!

This is truly one of my favorite restaurants in London. Rarely can one find a well balanced combination of delicious, seasonal menu choices paired with a remarkable wine menu and offered by a super knowledgeable and friendly staff. Sit back, relax and soak it all in while listening to vinyl spinning on the record player…funky, soulful house the last time I dined!

We booked a meal here as we were staying in the hotel and going to the theatre. I booked early as I had seen an offer if you ate before 4pm but we didn’t get the discount, and I couldn’t find it again afterwards. The restaurant was very quiet at that time so there wasn’t much ambiance but I would imagine the ambiance is good when it is busier. The service was good, attentive but not intrusive, and the food was lovely. Overall we would go again if we were in London.
