   First time at Tonbridge Wells but another top class experience. From the first greeting by the reception staff to the unfortunately inevitable goodbye, it was a most enjoyable evening with great food and service in another beautifully decorated Ivy restaurant.

   Usually the service is great, but unfortunately today it wasn’t which was really disappointing

   We usually love going to The Ivy in Tunbridge Wells. Service was good as usual, but one of our meals arrived barely warm. Although it was sent back willingly and a fresh hot meal arrived, it disturbed the flow of the evening. We paid the full price of the meal whereas maybe a gesture from management would have been helpful. The coffee pots (which we always enjoy with the cream) were very tarnished - a quick polish with a silver cloth would not go amiss. We will be back and hopefully these issues will be resolved.

   Food always consistently good. Sometimes the service a bit hit and miss but tonight, form the lady greeting us to the fabulous waiter, it was really good. As always, when you’re spending over £75 a head, a tad annoying to only be allowed a 2 hour slot

   As usual The Ivy delivered good service and excellent food. Compared to some of the competition it's even pretty good value, especially at lunch time.

   Great experience. The service was fantastic. Starter amazing Linguine on the main course was was meh, but the dessert was outstanding. I would go back and its still worth the premium price.

    Our afternoon tea experience at The Ivy at Tunbridge Wells was exemplary. We went for our anniversary and the food, service and ambiance were amazing. We were even given a complementary ‘Happy Anniversary’ desert, which was very unexpected and a lovely gesture. Thank you to everyone who made our experience so memorable.
