   Lovely experience and lovely service but the table was a bit small for two people and we had one set of cutlery throughout the afternoon tea. We weren’t offered any additional cutlery or side plates to separate from the sweet and savoury options

   We really love the Ivy collection, and this one lives up to our expecting. We had a great time, and although the booking said 2hrs at and 8.15pm booking, we were the last ones to leave. Our only very small gripe, the heirloom set menu is more or a lunch portion, still great value, but not ideal for some xx

   We came up from Northumberland for my friends birthday - the experience was perfect - the staff couldn't have been more kind and professional - Harry even got a lovely little choux pastry birthday cake with a candle and chocolate - a really lovely gesture - we'll be back !!!!!

   My wife and I had a nice meal with wine, the problem was that my wife was up all night with a really upset stomach. We both had the same starter so I'm assuming it was the lobster she had for her main.

   Bright, cheerful interior and a welcoming team at this convenient New Town location. The menu has classics plus some with a notable Asian twist. Highly recommend the scallops to begin and the famous shepherd’s pie.

   La plupart des plats étaient franchement bons, mais le Sunday Roast Lamb n’était pas bon; ni en termes de qualité ni en termes de quantité. En plus avec un prix dépassant les £28 pour le plat; quelle déception. Notons en plus un environnement bruyant. Ceci explique ma note malgré une excellent service.

   We had an amazing time at the “Breakfast with Easter Bunny” experience! Hoping they do this again next year!! The kids loved every moment of the breakfast experience…from the Easter bunny, the breakfast itself and the wee goody bag! The experience would not be complete without the the amazing Abigail who looked after us. She is clearly an asset! Her happy soul radiated the whole room! Thank you for making this experience extra special Abi and team!

    Le cadre est sympa. Les plats sont bien présentés et copieux. Nous avons testé le bar et le suprême de poulet. Nous n avons pas été déçus, ni des desserts d ailleurs.
