The Ivy restaurant has been a firm fixture on London’s dining and social scene since 1917. The restaurant and private room upstairs are the epitome of real glamour. A shimmering central dining bar in the restaurant draws admiring attention, and the signature harlequin stained-glass windows, oak panelling and striking contemporary art collection ensure the longevity of this very British of dining institutions. Executive Chef Gary Lee creates balanced seasonal menus, featuring Ivy classics, but accounting for today’s tastes, incorporating more Asian dishes, salads and vegetables, and the advent of a “sea and shells” section. Director Fernando Peire leads a strong and experienced team to deliver the unfaltering service for which The Ivy has become well known over the years. The Ivy welcomes customers without reservations at the central dining bar, where the A La Carte and Set menus are both served.

One of the best meals my boyfriend and I have had in a long time! Went as we had received a voucher for our Christmas present but honestly I would go again paying full price. Our server Harry was lovely and answered all the questions we had about steak size and weight, and which sides best went with them. 10/10 experience!!!

Enjoyed my food but did find the soup salty and the herb gnocchi a little unusual in flavour.. Not sure if would order again. Waitresses were interesting, one slightly stressed serving.. Who then forgot to bring me cutlery for my main course and the lady looking after us was a little too keen to get us out the door which is a shame as we were paying customers and no one said anything re a time limit on our table. Sad to say my experience overall was not great..

We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. The restaurant contacted us ahead of time and we pre-ordered a slice of cake with a special greeting and champagne. The view was beautiful and the service and servers were attentive and friendly. The food was good fitting for the occasion. We will definitely return. Thank you OXO Tower staff for a very pleasant and memorable evening.
