Good food but very disappointing service. Slow to take order, slow for food to arrive and when it did it arrived separately with c30mins between different starters!
The Ivy Asia, GuildfordResponded 5 days ago
Dear Jonathan, Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the food, but we're very sorry to learn that the service did not meet your expectations. Your experience with the delays and the staggered arrival of dishes is certainly not the standard we strive for. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will address it with our team to ensure improvements are made. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future

We went for lunch as family of 4 and the lunch menu was great value. Portions were also generous and worked well. We were celebrating two birthdays and they gave us a lovely free dessert treat for both my husband and daughter. We'd definitely go back again.

Really terribly overrated. Food is poor to mediocre. Basic fried foods and cheap/undercooked prawns. We will not be returning.

I booked a table a couple of months ago, making it clear that it was for my wife’s birthday and that she has a dairy allergy. We were looking forward to a special evening, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The waiter first served my wife a drink that contained dairy. When we reminded him of her allergy, he confused it with a nut allergy. We also received the wrong food at our table, and empty glasses were left uncleared throughout the evening. Despite other tables receiving birthday desserts with candles, it was evident that my wife’s birthday had been completely overlooked. To top it off, when presenting the bill, the waiter asked us to rate his service highly as he was in competition with the other staff — a request that felt inappropriate given the circumstances.
