Restaurants near Friends Meeting House

The taster menu was ok maybe a bit more food would have been better, the two free drinks a very added bonus. However other friends where there so we decide to have the set menu so over all a lovely evening at the ivy. Staff are always excellent there.

The chicken option on the fixed menu was not up to scratch. It was like rubber and did not even look like a chicken should do. Not nice to even eat but did get a refund for that.

We loved the aesthetic in this place and we also really liked the food and the fusion between different parts of Asia. This is a stunning restaurant. Having only 2 bottles available of the Chablis is a problem when you run a large restaurant- very odd indeed as this is to us a mid-priced wine so why not stock up? My husband’s “confit” duck leg was not really “confit” but delicious nevertheless. The service was a bit slow and sporadic. We had to ask for our wine to be topped up (not a way to make money these days!) and he tried to serve the second bottle in the same glasses without a tasting. Train him a bit better and you have the makings of a good server - he was sweet but not very “on it”. Overall good and we would come back.

Lovely relaxed ambience, busy restaurant and enjoyable steaks.

Always a great experience for family with a coeliac (and T1D) child. Most of the menu is gluten-free and there is great awareness and service for coeliacs, food is tasty and fresh, great drinks, including super-fresh juices, and the best fresh mint tea, great service from people who, by now, know us really well. We love this place and keep coming back, despite the abundance of restaurants in Brighton
