We ordered the truffle burger and truffle milanesa. The burger came with a sauce that was not good. The milanesa came with a delicious sauce. I would not order the burger again.

It had been quite a while since my last visit to the Ivy Chelsea, and as soon as I walked in, I was enveloped by its familiar warmth and charm. The ambience was just as beautiful as I remembered. However, I must admit I was disappointed they had altered the dark salad recipe; it seemed somewhat lacking, with only a small amount of duck included. On the positive side, the service was attentive and professional. Apart from my duck salad, everything else was exquisite—the succulent chicken was perfectly cooked, and the wine selection was exceptional, enhancing the meal beautifully. Overall, it was a delightful experience, aside from that one misstep with the salad.

Customer Service is unbelievable. The food is absolutely perfect, we went for the full sharing platter, there was sooooo much food. All of it so tasty and freshly made. Venue was lovely and nice with good tunes. Again the Service, the staff are so nice lovely and patient. I was so impressed, we also had hot drinks and added on plantain pancakes to the menu. All together £55 ..... So cheap, specially for the quality we got. Trust me, I complain about food and prices, so I don't say this lightly. I usually go Bill's, but Breakfast in Brixton has better quality food
