We had a late afternoon lunch and the service and food was great. We were not rushed despite being advised on the booking app that we had a limited time at the table. If only more restaurants were like this. They certainly knew we did not have any allergies as we were asked the same question 4 times! I am so pleased that they take allergies seriously though.

Hi Simon, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your late afternoon lunch and felt well taken care of. It's reassuring to know that, despite the initial indication of a limited dining time, you were able to relax and savour your meal without feeling rushed. We also appreciate your positive perspective on the multiple allergy checks. While it may seem repetitive, these measures are in place to ensure your safety and well-being, reflecting our commitment to adhering to UK food allergen regulations. Thank you once again for your thoughtful feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable dining experience.

Booked for our anniversary. The welcome was excellent and the menu matches other Ivy Bistros we have visited. The food was very good but my main course (burger) was a bit too well done for my preference. Similarly, I'm not really a fan of chips which can't be penetrated by a fork! The service was generally fast and cheerful. I had asked for a table with a view and, indeed, we could see some of the brickwork! It was the first time we had been to the area in 20 or so years and it is much improved, lively and interesting.

Hi Peter, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that your anniversary celebration was enjoyable and that the welcome and menu met your expectations. We appreciate your feedback regarding your main course and the chips; your comments will be taken into consideration as we continually strive to improve our offerings. It's wonderful to know that you found the service fast and cheerful. Regarding your request for a table with a view, we regret that the view did not meet your expectations. We aim to accommodate such requests whenever possible. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again and hope to make your next visit even more enjoyable. Best Wishes, The Ivy Tower Bridge Management.
