   We had the Springtime Afternoon Tea which was very good. The staff were excellent, efficient and friendly, we could not fault them in any way.

   Had three course set menu,very good value,bigger portions than expected. Only minor faults were that the bottled still water was warm and the steak wasn't rare. Great place, great toilets (ladies)and good value.

   My second visit and it was outstanding again. Everyone should eat here because it is perfection. Our server was so professional and knowledgeable. Food and drink was incredible and we stayed for a few hours just enjoying our lunch. Will be back again.!!!!

   Amazing service for mine and my boyfriend's anniversary. A free dessert was given to us with 'Happy Anniversary' written on which was such a lovely touch. The service was incredible with two lovely gentlemen serving us throughout the evening. My boyfriend has a nut allergy and all nuts were removed from dishes which had them in which I wanted to eat, and even from the dessert at the end. Recommendation of cocktails was given which were gorgeous. I would definitely go again!

    The main dining room is beautiful with high ceilings and a great ambience. I booked a table at 11.30 and ate at midday which was a perfect time to go.

    Very expensive for the standard of food. Service was good and I expect the waiting times were average for these types of places. The Coffee was very weak as well. Rather disappointing to be very honest as this was our first and probably only visit.

    The staff were superb-my partners meal was very good but my meal was cold. The waiter did ask twice if the meal was ok but I felt that to avoid any embarrassment I said nothing. I appreciated the birthday pastry.

    Great food and excellent service. Can be a little noisy due to the open plan nature and way too many cushions on the curved bench seats! Overall a good experience with friendly and smart staff and great food.

    Décor great. Ambience happy and friendly. Service excellent. Waitress was very friendly, and very helpful. Menu was a little different (not too much), and very tasteful. We were a party of 5, the table needed to be a little bigger. Otherwise, a really enjoyable meal out experience.

    As a frequent returning diner the Ivy offers a good choice of food and changing menu to keep you interested. The quality of food is excellent and stimulating and deserts to die for so save room for a sweet treat.

    Lovely setting, very noisy (dreadful music, way too loud). The restaurant was aware that 1 of our party was allergic to any onion related food but couldn’t manage to produce a basic peppercorn (or any other) sauce to go with a steak - one of only 2 things suitable on the menu. It was eventually discounted off the bill as we waited so long for the sauce - which never materialised - that the steak was cold. Wines very overpriced but pleasant and helpful waiting staff.

    We came here as a birthday treat and it totally lived up to expectations. They ‘ ‘may’ have slightly forgotten to take our order initially but apart from that everything and everyone was amazing. Thank you to the lovely lady that greeted us at the door for taking our photo outside.

    Service was fantastic and by the far the best from a restaurant in Exeter. We were there to celebrate our wedding and the glasses of champagne and desert were a great touch but even without that the waiting and front of house staff were really really good. Thank you!

    Lives up to the Ivy reputation. Quirky and cool. The service was great, cocktails good and strong and great food. We sat outside in full view of the cathedral. A lovely lunchtime experience.
