    Service was really good, waiters were attentive and always around for you to ask for anything, didn’t feel rushed, food was lovely only small issue as I am 8 months pregnant I did make them aware of this soon as we sat down, one of the courses had alcohol in but didn't state this on the menu, luckily only had the smallest bite, they were very quick to apologise and a replacement came back out quickly.

    Absolutely thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The service and attention to detail was so impressive. The food was beautiful and I don't think I've ever seen my husband enjoy a steak as much as he did at the Ivy Cardiff. The only flaw I'd mention, if considered a flaw, more a personal opinion really, was the music level was a tad too high so we couldn't fully enjoy the romantic sounds of the harpist. Otherwise everything was exactly what I'd expect and was a real treat for us. Finally the little birthday dessert treat was a lovely surprise. Thank you so much to all the staff.

    We've been planning to book for a while following recommendations from friends and our first visit didn't disappoint. The food was beautifully cooked, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. We had a starter, main and dessert and it was all delicious.

    Very busy for a Monday night! Which is good, service was a bit hit and miss, couple on the next table came in after us and ordered their meal and had their starter before our order had even been taken, they also didn’t have the red wine I ordered and this seemed to take a long time to sort out and re-order. Food is ok nothing special. It’s a great place for atmosphere especially on a Monday.
