• Modern european • Fitzrovia

Once the beautiful Victorian interiors of this old pub were restored to their original glory and the first floor dining room opened, along with outside terrace for dining, the locals must have breathed a sigh of delight before tucking into some seriously good gastropub grub. Business folk crowd in at lunchtimes, while friendlier couples and groups pack in evenings and weekends. There is something here to suit most palates and pockets. The menu changes daily - another sign that they're serious about food here - but we recently loved the fish chowder, and the aubergine, potato and spinach bhaji with yoghurt. The wine list is heaven.

Loved it.. don’t go to the Ivy and think it’s “posh” it’s good food and service with “feel good” menu. Special mention to the service staff, Paulina and the short haired waitress. Creme brûlée needs to be in a ramekin and a crunchy top, not flat and sugary with a blow torch.. everything else is good.. see you soon.

Excellent food and superb service.My guest had the Highland steak, beautiful tender and rare, while I ate from the super value lunch menu. The food is wonderful quality and carefully curated. The wines etc are limited but likewise good quality. If you want a casual but super dining experience this is a great choice. I had a deceptively innocuous delicious pear and absinthe cocktail as an aperitif, first time with absinthe and it was clearly present but well tempered.

The Greek/Mediterranean food options were astounding. Sunday roast was just ok and service was very slow. However appreciated that the food was homemade and complimentary bread was offered.
