    Always a wonderful treat to visit The Ivy Spinningfields. Our waiter was so attentive, friendly and helpful. The food was impeccible. We had a gift card however, i felt that the lunch fixed menu price was extremley reasonable for the standard of food. Front of house were very helpful in storing our coats and shopping. All in all, a very enjoyable experience.

    The staff make this place what it is, they are so lovely, friendly, attentive and make you feel so taken care of. The food is phenomenal, without a doubt some of the best pasta I have eaten and I cannot recommend the place enough. Went for my girlfriend’s birthday and she was made to feel so special and you can tell the staff really care and that they love their job.
