    The ambience is inviting, striking a balance between cosy and sophisticated. The food was delicious, with each dish showcasing fresh, high-quality ingredients and thoughtful presentation. What stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and always had a genuine smile. They take pride in providing a memorable dining experience. Overall, The Ivy exceeded my expectations with great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for those looking for a delightful meal with top-notch hospitality.

    Paid almost £20 for a chicken dish that was a dry slab of chicken with an egg on top. It was dry and tasted plain and unseasoned- similar to chicken from a chicken shop. Service was ok, a little slow, but the waiters were nice- however the service was not fast enough to result in a £6 service charge when there was 2 of us.

    First time in Ivy. Ambiance was great but not the food. £34 for a turbot was not the value, half was it, bones and it was a farmed turbot. I rather have chunky piece of turbot steak.

    Ate in the brasserie. Jessica was our original server and she was amazing. Very smiley, accommodating, chatty and pleasant. When she was going off shift she advised us who would be taking over and they were equally lovely. Overall we were so impressed with the service and the food was amazing as always. Tried a couple of the winter cocktails that were delicious. Can’t wait to go back.

    Table booked 3.15 but sat down at 3.40! We were told our waitress name but never met her throughout the entire afternoon tea experience! Ordered a drink which took a further 20 mins to arrive after a passing waiter chased this up at the bar! Only the chicken brioche roll was nice the other two sandwiches were dry. The scones were heavy and hard and had to be changed but the second lot were not much better. Hardly any Jam provided! The eclair was like rock the Battenberg was ok Overall a disappointing visit this time for us as returning customers for my friends birthday!

    Everyone should try breakfast at the Ivy Spinningfields. I drink peppermint tea (they had run out) but the waiter suggested fresh mint in hot water - I’m so glad as it was lovely. We did not eat from the festive menu but that was personal preference we dont eat museli in any form. The omelette was delicious - soft fluffy and cooked perfectly. Others had a full breakfast - probably the best they had ever had anywhere ( cooked perfectly and fantastic quality produce) what more can you ask for. The decor is always so beautiful here - you would not be disappointed if you have breakfast here I do urge you to try it.

    Literally the worst food I have ever paid for. Chicken skewers was awful didn't taste like chicken was very poor quality meat. Blackened cod was frozen fish with no taste and BBQ sauce over it. The drinks,ambience service was excellent. But next time sadly would just go for drinks

    The Ivy is a classic but doesn’t always live up to the hype. The service isn’t as slick or attentive as you’d expect in a higher class restaurant. The food is nice but doesn’t exceed expectations. The vegetables were under done and not trimmed properly, the desert was fun but overly sweet. Drinks were good, ambience was good, decor makes it feel like a special occasion. A lot of plus points but not a favourite.

    We dined here on Saturday evening to celebrate our daughter’s 16th birthday. We waited 25 minutes to be seated as our table wasn’t ready for our allotted slot. The meal was nice, service friendly, atmosphere good. Whilst eating our desserts, the bill was brought to the table as apparently the manager had told the waiter we needed to go because the next table had arrived!!!! Not the end to the evening we had expected, I reported this to the front desk and was assured I would be contacted on Monday to resolve, needless to say I haven’t heard a dickie bird. I would expect much better from an establishment with the kudos of the Ivy!!!

    Love the Ivy this is the first time I have been when it hasn’t been 5 star all round . We had a 25 min wait for our table - booked for 4:15 . We then had quite a wait to order . I think it was a change of shift as the second waiter was fantastic ! Food as always was excellent. Just not the special service we have come to expect .

    Booked the Christmas Festive 3 course Menu with friends. Firstly when we arrived we were greeted at the reception desk and told to get a drink at the bar as our table would be about 15 minutes but because the bar was so busy we still hadn’t got our drinks by the time we were seated. The Ivy itself, as a place, is beautiful and the food was outstanding. The service however was disappointing and I think this was mainly down to the fact that it was overcrowded and our waitress was too busy. We had to ask again for table water and the wine list as she forgot to bring it meaning we didn’t get the wine until our main course. The festive menu included Christmas crackers which she forgot and we had to ask for. Then the meal should have ended with mince pies and coffee/tea but she never asked if we wanted any and again we had to ask for them. The room was extremely noisy and although our table was located in a decent position there were other tables that were crammed in closely next to others. Also be aware that the restaurant adds a service charge, ours equated to an additional £30, which we did not think was appropriate after we had to keep reminding our server. Would definitely recommend going for the quality of the food and the decor of the place.
