   Had lunch last Sunday, we often go to The Ivy in Harrogate and just chose Manchester for a change. Very courteous staff and the food was lovely, everything we had was delicious. We treated ourselves to a cocktail after lunch and they were lovely too.

   Opulent maximalist surroundings which might lead you to think the service and food would be secondary, but they aren’t. Service was impeccable and the food was well presented and absolutely excellent. Loved the house rose and although it is noisy in the Brasserie, and therefore hard to hear each other speak at times, overall it was great.

   Found the music a little too loud and drowned out the dining experience. Enjoyed the music but just a slightly lower volume would be better

    First time visiting. Fantastic service, food and experience. Only issue was with the music by the DJ which was a little loud for one of the members within the group, making it difficult for her to hear and follow conversation.

    The welcome Service Food Cleanliness Was all fabulous But we did ask on more than 1 occasions to turn the music down it was a live DJ This never happened and made it very uncomfortable to talk to my friends or hearing what they had to say Regards Susan

    Lovely venue, table for two was very small though so felt a bit crammed in. Service was great, Fabrizio was very attentive, food arrived promptly. I had a cocktail which tasted wonderful but was absolutely tiny! Considering the price -£11 - I’d have expected something twice the size… tiny stops to make it seem worth it!! The Ivy does this odd thing where it lines the bottom of many dishes with screwed up napkins - they’ll say it’s to soak up grease, but it also makes the portions appear more generous… and they’re not. Tasty though. I’d also recommend not serving the jasmine rice in those little bowls - singed my fingers trying to empty the pot into my curry…

    Booked early evening dinner in brasserie. Birthday celebration.table for 2.appearance of restaurant is excellent and allocated attractive table setting.drinks waiter spilled my coke onto table and me .. we had to move tables.starters fine although limited choice for lactose intolerance.both ordered minute steak main. Meat so fatty and stringy my wife couldn’t cut through hers and mine had a string of fat through that was unpleasant.head waiter changed my wife’s steak and the second one was a little less tough and chewy but not by much.head waiter was patronising didn’t listen and demonstrated a total lack of empathy in resolving the poor situation.our waitress was professional and skilled although not helped by the food or kitchen. My wife was presented with a small saucer of coconut cream and frozen berries with a lighted candle .. must have been the best lactofree dessert the chef could conjure.adjustments made to the bill but that doesn’t compensate for spoiling a special occasion.

    We dined at 16.30 before the theatre so it wasn’t busy. Staff very attentive and helpful with side choices. Food was delicious, the best Prawn cocktail I’ve eaten.

    Stylish fabulous restaurant very cosmopolitan suits every single age & great location Very friendly staff who genuinely look happy & take pride that they work for the Ivy collection. The atmosphere as got a good vibe. Casual dress if you feeling good to very dressy up if that’s your choice: It takes you to casual to fine dining & all the pluses you’ve got 3 restaurants under one great location from a very proven company been around for 40+ years in London I’m delighted we’ve got them in Manchester.

    We arrived five minutes before our time and were told we were early so could go up to the top floor and have a drink. Surely the table would have been laid? £25 and 15 minutes later we sat out our table in the brasserie. I faced the wall of cluttered plants as we had a table for two, slightly too close to the people on both sides as I could hear all they were discussing. We ordered starters and mains. The duck salad was well presented and tasted lovely. The salmon was very thinly sliced and looked opaque. The lemon was in muslin which prevented it from being squeezed. Unfortunately the bread, which looked delicious, could not be tasted as the salmon was too overpowering. The mains were fish cakes and courgette linguine. We ordered a side of chips which must have been triple cooked before we arrived but left under a heater, as they had dried out and tasted of the oil they were cooked in. The pasta was tasty but lacking in amount. After a few years of waiting and thinking we would be in for a treat the hype was not worth the money. We felt as though the scripts had been learned for effect, without genuine feeling. We will not rush to return.
