    We visited Dublin for new years and were told by many to make sure we got a reservation at the ivy while we were there. It did not disappoint! The ambience was beautiful and our waitress was one of the sweetest and nicest person. The food, drinks, and desert were all delicious! We will definitely be going back if we are ever in Dublin again!

    Lovely restaurant and food was great. The issue was when we arrived and said we had a booking, the person serving us couldn’t find it. When I showed him the email confirmation of the booking he said the hotel doesn’t really use open table as a booking platform but he would try and accommodate us. We asked if we could sit outside and we’re told there was no tables. There were clearly two tables outside not being used and when we asked if we could sit at one of them he agreed. It was an unusual first few minutes, but following on from that everything was great.
