Comfortable friendly surroundings. The kitchen produces great tasty traditional food - what a relief in a world of trendy fusion cuisine ! Pudding is excellent! Wine list is quality!

Lydia Berkennou

Been lucky to celebrate my birthday in this amazing restaurant . The wallpaper and the architecture of the room makes you feel special. Service is wonderful and the food and drinks to die for!

When it comes to celebrity restaurants , The Ivy is the most frequently chosen. Recognizable faces from film and music can be regularly seen dining here and the British dishes are exquisite. Read more

The bar is a great place to sit and watch the action from a central place in the restaurant.Easy to walk in and perch up with a wonderful drink and meal. Great service, great wine list .

Paul Anderson-Foster

The ambience, the decor, the service, but most of all the food - everything hunky dory. For great table side entertainment order the baked Alaska (only for two)

Fresh

Great ambience! Attentive service. The cod was delicious. Best to book in advance

Becky Jagger

For starters The barbeque squid salad worth chorizo which was simply incredible. Mains was the herb roasted monkfish - hands down best monkfish I have ever had!

Christina Christodoulou

Delicious starters. Unfortunately, the restaurant experienced a power cut while we were dining. The owner handled the situation meticulously well and reserved a table for us in a nearby restaurant .

Rebecca T

Well cooked traditional food . I have been here three times and have never left feeling less than happy. A good wine list and the puddings are so, so tasty!

Gi Gi

Ribs & chicken bang bang were both delicious. Shepherds pie was great but the Parmesan courgettes aren't great. Lamb was delicious. The chocolate sundae was ok.

Inna G

Clover club for cocktail ! The Shepard pie was good as well . Wasn't a fan of the octopus with chorizo .

Lin Humphrey

It's difficult to get a reservation here by phone, so book online. Be sure to have the sticky toffee pudding for dessert--it's one of the best in town .

Sam Bonney

The Food is all amazing but the Peanut Butter Glory for dessert is amazing!! I could eat it all day! Must have!

stafford crombie

Superb restaurant , brilliant service and atmosphere, the Ivy Club is simply the most sophisticated place to take someone special, :)

Claire Briston

@ ivy restaurant : The Ivy restaurant is amazing. I had the Pork Belly for mains with Mango Tart for dessert . Not overly priced; just takes a while to get a reservation , especially on a Saturday! Read more

Bijan Young

It's trading on its old trendy and glitzy history. Still full and fabulous room. Food is average fare these days given the quality elsewhere...though shepherds pie and stick toffee pudding are fab.

Delicious food, great place for a special occasion .

Matthew Perkins

No reservation ? No problem! If there are only two of you, try sitting at the bar . Stellar cocktails !

Vik Paw

Short ribs , tasty and crunchy.

Magdalena Welcz

Its good, but i think i expected something a bit more unique from them. Average for the price, recommended to go to admire interior

Marc S

Do not leave without having the sticky toffee pudding .

Marc S

Loved the bang-bang chicken starter and the cod .

Perfectly fine, plenty of other (better) restaurants in London, but reliably decent

Jacques

Celebrity haunt; great food but you need to book in advance

Tony P.

The best sticky toffee pudding - must leave room for it

The Daily Meal

Cornish lamb with creamy anchovy and dauphinoise spuds make a cliché true: they literally do melt in the mouth. Read more

Along with amazing food, the Ivy holds a lovely Bridget Riley painting that I licked when I was 16.

Very Good Service

Still a good place to spot the celebs

Hernan Valdivia

Shepherd's pie is most heart warming

Mary Matlack

Amazing Bar Seating

Jeremy Bagel

Good quality, mainly traditional food with an interesting crowd. Roast poulet was scrumptious.

Bijan Young

Best shepherds pie

Konstantina Markopoulou

Extremely bad service,had to wait 45 minutes for deserts ,only after we complained we weren't charged for them. Food average and waiters couldn't even advice on wine list . Overrated

Scott Walters

Great atmosphere, food was acceptable, service was scattered. Overall - not worth the money.

Abu Aya KD

Sticky toffee pudding

MARIA J

I go there every year for my birthday. Amazing. Get the Shirley Temple cocktail .

Rune Sovndahl

Honest opinion is an outdated menu, not that well prepared food, cocktails good and decent intimate dining you come to be seen but the food Is uninspiring and boring.

Andrew White

Timeless classic.

Steve Davies

Rabbit ragu . Deelish.

Adrian Silas

Starry, Fashionable , Electic!
