I had the best experience ever with my family for the Christmas season, the food, desserts, drinks, christmas specials and crackers were really high quality and fresh and tasty! What topped the experience was the kind and respectful staff, who we enjoyed talking to every time they came to our table to serve us and help clean up. This was the best Ivy we have ever been to, highly recommend it for a fabulous London evening :)

We opted for the seasonal set menu….it was delicious. The Turkey Ballotine and the shepherds pie was delicious, my husband really enjoyed the shepherds pie saying it was rich & full of meat. I was going to order the snowman pudding which was served under a cloche and when lifted, wafted smoke/ dry ice …… love the theatre but it looked quite big so we went for the chocolate bomb …. delicious. Really lovely restaurant, the staff are all very friendly and the whole place was very festive. Lastly, it was our wedding anniversary… when we’d finished our meal our server came over with a chocolate profiterole with Happy Anniversary written on a chocolate square… lovely little touch. We would definitely come back here…. we really enjoyed our experience.
