   I took my 91 year old mum to The Ivy for her birthday.....from the minute we arrived, everyone was so friendly and professional, and everyone knew it was her birthday! Our waiter was a darling, and engaged in conversation with mum and I.....he was just brilliant! Food was impressive, and we just had a great lunch!

   I saw quite a few comments mentioning poor service, but I just wanted to share that our experience was the complete opposite. We were seated right in front of City Hall on Mother’s Day night, and everything was perfect from start to finish. The service was genuinely impeccable - friendly, attentive, and so thoughtful.

   We were put upstairs in a room with 4 tables no atmosphere when we asked to be moved they said they didn’t have a table in the main restaurant but they would give us a few complementary desserts but they still added them to to bill

   Space is beautiful, food was tasty. However, the service was such a let down - really disappointing especially given the prices and experience I’ve had at other Ivy locations.

   Thank you Mark for leaving a great review, I can see that it was Caitlin who was your waitress, I shall make a point to speak with her and thank her for being a great ambassador for us. Thanks again, hopefully see you soon. Kind regards, The Ivy Belfast.

   Such very poor service overall. This establishment has badly went down hill already. No one on reception. The member of staff behind the bar had no work ethic at all. The cocktail i received was poorly made and when I addressed this with the bar staff he shrugged his shoulders! Standard of food was medicore. Dirty empty tables and waiter staff slow and didn't seem to know what tables needed served. Twice we asked for coffees and twice they were forgotten. We left without. The price did not reflect the experience we had and I will not be planning on returning any time soon.

   Food was delicious just portion size was a little smaller than expected. Service was pretty slow. Other than that drinks and ambience was very good. Would return in near future

    Beautiful building and nice decor as expected from the Ivy brand. Service was good. Starters of duck parfait and crispy duck salad were tasty, steaks on the 1971 menu were a bit bland, shepherds pie was fine but quite small serving
