    Excellent service from start to finish. I booked a table for my twin daughters’ birthday. We were taken to the best table booth in the house. Our waiter explained the menu very well. The decor is outstanding and the food even more so. We had the 3 courses from the lunch menu and it was a lot of food and excellent value for money. Our bill was £120 for 3 adults that included drinks ie Bellini’s etc and the twins ordered desserts from the a la carte menu. I would highly recommend. Plus it was Christmas Eve so it was even more delightfully decorated than usually. We even had special Ivy Xmas crackers which we could take home. Plus the manager brought out a special dessert of lilac and mango ice creams…it was exceptional and we shall definitely be coming again! Highly recommended.
