    Excellent service from friendly staff who just knew how to serve customers without being ‘in your face’. The decor is superb as is the food. The only downside is the trek to the toilets. However, this is an experience to be repeated.

    We had a great experience at The Ivy Clifton Brasserie. Despite making last-minute changes to our reservation, we were seated early, and the service was patient and attentive to our group’s needs. The menu had excellent vegetarian and vegan options, along with a dedicated children’s menu. I particularly enjoyed the onion soup and truffle arancini. The décor was beautiful, and we took many wonderful photos during our time together. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and a lovely atmosphere made for an enjoyable meal. Highly recommend for families and those seeking quality vegetarian or vegan dishes.

    The service was excellent, from start to finish and the food was very good. We had the fish and chips - much better than most pubs.

    A lovely location and lively atmosphere , however despite seeing plenty of staff , service was hit and miss . 15 minutes after arrival no one had asked if we’d like a drink . Drinks (once they arrived) were pleasant . Our entrees were very good however my main course was incorrect which meant that my husband’s main course had to be returned to the kitchen to keep warm while mine was replaced . Then another long wait for a second round of drinks . I expected better from The Ivy Group based on the London restaurant I’d been to several times . This said , one of the wait staff , a young Australian girl did her best to improve things , fetching the second round of drinks swiftly .
