   Excellent food and ambience. Service not great. Server forgot our starter so it came at the end of the meal. Our server never checked on us during our meal and brought the wrong check at the end of the meal.

   We arrived early and was accommodated with a table which was appreciated. Eveline was amazing with her suggestions and recommendations for us. The food was delicious and perfect sized portions which enabled us to enjoy desserts. The lychee mocktail was enjoyed along with the Jasmine tea. Overall a wonderful first time experience and will be returning.

   Beautiful ambiance, good food, and good service. What I didn't like: It was way too loud, and I found the music inappropriate. Its a Restaurant Not a Disco…It's supposed to be cool, but it's just annoying. It was practically impossible to have a conversation. Also there was a hectical atmosphere (because of the limitet time) The restrooms, on the other hand, were really nice. Unusual design. And you have to rush a bit to eat because there are limitet time slots…but that was ok because I knew It by booking the table. But because you can Not Talk you only eat your food and take pictures…so it does not realy matter.

   What a nightmare. We have visited many Ivy restaurants across the country and highly rate the consistent high quality Ivy experience - food, atmosphere and service . So we were excited to book the Ivy Asia Mayfair for my wife’s birthday celebration on a Friday in May. The Ivy Asia Mayfair failed to deliver on the Ivy brand promise. Food - the regular Ivy menu is centred on classic dishes with a twist. The Ivy Asia dishes were Asian classics, but missed much of a twist (honourable exception being the spicy tofu). Atmosphere - the music was nightclub level loud - very difficult to hold a conversation across the table. We were seated outside two ornate doors to a private room where a large party was under way. There was constant noise and disruption with the doors opening to allow party goers in and out for smoke, toilet breaks etc. When we complained to our waitress she said ‘yes we staff are finding it really noisy too’. So we complained to the manager who sympathised and said she would move us when a table became available. Service - our waitress forgot one drink from our order. Then our water order. Then the plates were not changed between starter and main. As we were finishing our main the manager arrived to tell us we could now move table but clearly it was too late. After finishing the main courses we were in need of a quick exit and asked for the bill. After a long wait our waitress brought out a birthday cake with lighted candle for my wife. Still no bill. But my wife and the rest of our party had left 5 minutes earlier to recover in the relative calm of the street outside. No discount or recognition of the disruption which we had clearly been subjected to. What a nightmare.

   Visited the Mayfair Ivy Asia, with my mum and 18 yr old daughter. Always beautifully decorated and lovely to look at. Sadly after 25 minutes hadn’t been asked for what we’d like to drink and I had to ask a few times just for water for the table. Was an hour after arriving we got to eat. Granted it was lunchtime and always busy, however to wait 35 minutes to get a glass of wine, was a bit much. The staff were lovely but service very slow. We had 1 main dish each plus 2 side dishes and a bottle of white wine coming to £182, a pricey lunch with slow service. Shame as puts me off eating to return.

   The food was ok, but the service was very slow despite a not very full restaurant, from beginning to end. The amenities felt a bit dated.

    We had a lovely evening and the staff were friendly. I was sat under an air con unit so it was cold! It was a fun place to be but felt a little rushed which was a shame. Lovely room.
