We liked the scene and decor. Service is professional, food is good but not quite like the London Ivy. One of our party got vertigo after the raw salmon starter and left to end up in A&E. This has never happened to them before.

We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the ambiance, décor, and professional service, but we are deeply concerned to learn about your guest’s experience.

While we maintain the highest standards of food preparation and safety, we take incidents like this very seriously and will be reviewing this matter with our team immediately. We hope your guest is now feeling better. Kind regards, The Ivy
