   For a busy Friday evening, their service, from greeting on arrival to leaving was exceptional with professionalism and friendliness, good humour and a sense of being ‘noticed’ when needing something. Every course was delicious and well-presented and our Swedish friends also rated it highly. I’ve rated the ambience as 5* thiugh in truth it was a little noisy, but given the weekend vibe and quantity of guests that’s hardly surprising. As this is the third different Ivy I’ve visited in the last year, all have shown the same levels of consistency and great food and given a string reason for returning.

   Of all the Ivy branches I have been to this one in Marlow is by far my favourite. It’s located right in the middle of the wonderful High Street, it’s beautifully decorated and spacious and has a wonderful patio at the rear which is a lovely place to dine in the better spring and summer weather. Service is impeccable and the ambience lens itself both to intimate or romantic dining as well as special family occasions. Nothing seems too much for the staff to accommodate your wishes. My only slight quibble, and even then I understand, is that I’m convinced prices have gone up and the portions have gone down. This might be because of the government’s unfortunate increase in employers national insurance so I guess the chain has to recover the additional cost somehow that would seem to be in the prices which are certainly not cheap. Having said that although I do believe the portions have gone down (I will happily stand corrected) the excellence and the quality of the food and the overall dining experience remain top-notch.

   Really good Sunday lunch for 7 people. Service was not as high as normal, we had a forgetful waiter.

   The food was excellent, and we'll served. However the decor is looking tired and needs a makeover. Our seat was ripped and grubby looking. A separate area for families would also be appreciated . We come to The Ivy for an adult meal.

   Second time eating at this Ivy, it is my favourite of all of the Ivy’s ( Exeter close 2nd), as the staff are incredibly polite, friendly and professional. My shepherds pie was delicious and topped off with the rich gravy alongside the broccoli, was perfect for lunch. My daughter had her fish and chips…she never deviates from this choice at the Ivy as it has never let her down. Tunbridge Wells could do with some staff training here!!;)

    I booked this Dinner for my Wife’s birthday and I mentioned that on the booking. No extra mile at all not even a small candle or anything. Really disappointed. Won’t go back to Ivy Marlow Garden again.
