   A wobbly table was given to us, which lead to a spilt drink, waiters soon changed the table but however nothing happened with the spilt drink, as it wasn’t our fault.

   We really enjoyed our visit to The Ivy, Oxford. Great service, delicious food and we loved the beautiful interior. My only complaint is the food was served on cold plates and came to us lukewarm. Warm the plates and you get five stars.

   Been to The Ivy in various locations and although never outstanding it’s been good enough to return to. Not this time. Opted for the set menu and from then on in the service changed and we were practically ignored. Don’t have the set menu as an option if you don’t want people to choose from it. Starter good but cod main was small and more batter than cod. I wish I had asked for the service charge to be removed, the service was that poor!

   A wonderful couple of hours for a friends birthday. We were well looked after. The house special gins we’re amazing. Everyone was so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The birthday dessert was such an unexpected lovely touch that made the birthday girl feel very special.

   Beautiful ambience and lovely decor. Service was good. Broccoli wasn’t tender stem as listed on menu and no explanation given until we requested as to why. Restaurants of this calibre should of st least advised in advance or when brought to the table. Otherwise very nice meal.

   I thoroughly enjoyed my veggie meal but the panne cotta was rather tasteless unfortunately. The restaurant was full with customers waiting at the bar for tables. I liked the decor. There was a cold drought on me which was rather unpleasant.

    Visited for our anniversary. The food was great, service was great. The restaurant itself is beautiful, clean, elegant and despite there being lots of customers it was still a nice quiet relaxing atmosphere. There's plenty of choice on the menu for food and drinks. The price for the quality of food and level of service was reasonable Definitely recommend for a celebration meal.

    Slow service with no attention to detail. Dirty water glasses, no offer of more drinks when glasses taken, took over 15 minutes to come back to us we decided to leave instead of coffee and dessert. Disappointing normally good service and food.

    We had a lovely anniversary afternoon tea. It was delicious, though I would have been happy with more savoury and less sweet. It was also too much food for us, but we were grateful to be able to take a goody bag . The place is nice with a good vibe. The afternoon staff were great and quite attentive, but then the shift changed to the evening staff and it took absolutely ages to get the bill and then pay.

    Our second visit to the Ivy: food has been good, or very good, on both occasions; service is also excellent. Unlike some, we like the 'botanical' decor. I would not say it's cheap - nearer the upper end of our dining budget - but, taking into account the pluses, it's reasonable value. We found the noise level (Friday evening) quite high; but you were crowded and maybe that's insoluble.

    Great experience being greeted at door, excellent table service, food beautifully presented, amazing decor. Price point means - to me - that it’s more of a treat, less of a regular haunt.

    We attended for afternoon tea that was a present. The service, the food and the location was excellent. The location is amazing and beautifully decorated in what would describe as Art Deco. It is difficult to find fault, it does tend to be a little noisy but you can still enjoy conversation without shouting. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

    We have regularly visited The Ivy, however today was very disappointing. The starters were good but all mains were over cooked and the fish was poor in quality and size. We were ignored but the staff, even though it was very quiet and they seemed very disorganised. It will be sometime before we visit again.

    We booked The Ivy for a birthday meal. We were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the Ivy is and the atmosphere when you walk in. The staff is very welcoming. There was plenty of choice on the menu, we recommend the Steak as it was cooked really well. The entire experience was above our expectations, it was like visiting a 5-star restaurant. The staff did everything they could to make our experience perfect. The tables had candles on which added a nice touch and as it was for a birthday we got a free dessert which added to the experience. It's not a cheap place, but you pay for quality. There is parking a 5-minute walk from the venue. If you've never gone to The Ivy, take the opportunity as you'll be pleasantly surprised.
