   Lovely atmosphere inside, it was very busy for a Monday so very impresssed people are looking to eat here on a Monday lunch time. We opted for the outside although it was slightly cold, the sun came out and we were offered blankets. The service was great very helpful. I loved the started from the set menu which was onion soup & my husband opted for salmon and toast. I had to have some of his toast to dip in my soup this would of been nice to of had a slice with the soup: we then both opted for steak, eggs & chips. The steak I felt was not a rump as suggested but a flat beef steak which to be honest seemed quite cheap and not impressive. It was quite chewy as well. The chips and egg lovely and the aspall cider lovely. If we went again we would opt for maybe a shepherds Pie or burger. This was our anniversary so wasn’t the best of meals we could Of had. But overall the experience and atmosphere if we chose inside would of been lovely. We were asked if we got cold to sit inside but as I say the sun came out and all was ok.

   We went to the Ivy in Brighton on a Monday. We thought the ambience was great, thought the wine was expensive. Our waitress was Hollie, we think (Red Hair). She was so efficient, pleasant and knowledgeable. Also she was very table aware. We would recommend if any promotion was in the offing she should be considered.

   No Diet Coke, no Pinot Grigio, pretty basic. My friend asked for medium sirloin steak, it arrived but it was well done. She returned it and was then served a steak which had not been rested so was sitting in a pool of blood. Not what you would expect at The Ivy at premium rates. They did deduct the steak from the bill although we did have to ask, it wasn’t offered. Having said that the other dinners were very good.

   The atmosphere at the Ivy in the Lanes was great fun, lovely to be back and having a ‘normal’ pre covid experience. Service was good and presentation of the food lovely - how we the quality of the food has gone downhill. I had liver parfait, the toast was cold and nothing special (think white thick cut sliced bread), blackened cod - should be melt in the mouth and light. It was over cooked, hard and tasteless. As a result I’d say the food was over priced and I will be thinking twice about going back to The Ivy for the food. It’s a shame.

    We had afternoon tea to celebrate my friends 50th birthday. They all enjoyed theres, however I was really disappointed with my gluten free sandwiches. They were extremely dry & not because it was gulten free bread but because it was like the sandwich’s had been left of the side & dried out. The fillings were also not very tasteful. My tea selection from the menu also wasn’t available, so overall not a great food experience & I dont think I would have afternoon tea here again 😔

    We have eaten at the Ivy group quite a lot in various places, we live in London , and without doubt although the others were good this as I have shown was outstanding . The menu was the same as others and is always good so no difference there . However the actual place looked excellent the decor spendid . Our service was very good the main server really excellent . Will definitely come again and recommend to friends and family . JB .

    The ivy was very welcoming and a lovely atmosphere. The food was absolutely superb and the cocktails were fab! The staff were very friendly and went the extra mile as it was my daughters 30th birthday and they must have overheard us discussing it so at the end of the meal a little treat arrived with a candle in it! A very lovely touch thankyou! Highly recommended!!

    I was unhappy with my main which was the Asian salad, it didn’t have all the ingredients stated on the menu and didn’t taste great either, service was great though and waiters very attentive so I didn’t complain although I wish I had. Nice decor and music though

    The Ivy Brighton is my favourite of all The Ivy’s. Although I was a little disappointed with the food this time ! My prawn cocktail was very bland with brown lettuce and not many prawns. I had prawn and monkfish curry which was delicious however there was a distinct lack of prawns and monkfish in in. So overall disappointing.

    A great night out. The food and service were incredible, and our waiter clearly knew the menu, food and drinks, very well. We waited a little too long for our first round of drinks to arrive so they were given on the house without me having to ask. Great atmosphere and overall experience.

    Lovely venue and great experience overall. Only negatives were that our starters arrived before our drinks and it felt a bit crammed with not enough space between tables. However, we got a lovely surprise from the restaurant to celebrate our anniversary!

    Service was slow, Had to remind waitress we hadn't ordered food yet after having drinks for roughly 30 minutes. 3 afternoon tea ordered - 2 afternoon teas came out after long periods of waiting, still 1 yet to come to our table. Reminder to waitress that we still missing 1, arrived once everyone else was finished. Just felt overrated for the price of £280 bill.

    My husband and I were celebrating our first wedding anniversary at the Ivy.The only down fall was we were not given a table cloth although we could see a lot of the tables being laid and used had them. But on saying that I was totally surprised by the wonderful rest room area in the Ivy . The food was the best we ever had really tasty , will return again. Thank you

    Very bad service, we were left waiting for 25 minutes without having our drinks taken and other people were getting served before us so I had to get up to ask someone to come over with no apology. Food was very average and overprice for two people for breakfast it was £62! Very disappointed.

    Overrated . Nice decoration but after choosing it to celebrate partners birthday, I was disappointed when the salmon was dry and nearly burn, bistec was chewy with instant potato pure and profiterol was dry and clearly defrosted. Pub food for expensive price. They charged me also one cognac for my partner that never was served on the table.. really sad.
