    Sonia was our waitress - she was absolutely fantastic. She was on top of everything and so polite and interesting. The cheese soufflé was outstanding - as was the ribeye steak along with spinach and chunky chips. Yumbo!!! The Rose wine was delicious too - just the inexpensive one at the top of the rose list. Try it

    My 3rd visit now, did not disappoint. Great ambiance - classy bar, a nice throwback to style. Attentive service and friendly. Would prefer very young children were not allowed on bar stools, but that’s more about entitled parents than legal enforcement.

    We were late being shown to our table, wasn’t shown the Autumn menu with the set meals and drink. I had to ask. This saved us over £60 on our bill although initially the bill was presented with everything added separately at full price. After initial hiccup food and service were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Ivy.
    The Ivy in the LanesResponded on 11 November 2024
    Hi Denise, We apologise for the initial delay in seating and the confusion with the menu. We're glad the rest of your experience, including the food and service, was excellent. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back soon!
