    Such a lovely place. Staff super friendly. Set festive meal was delicious, a bit pricy at £55 and we didn’t get crackers as they were out of stock . Food was delicious though.

    It's taken years trying to get my husband to the Ivy. Unfortunately his meal was not great. No flavour or seasoning. The most tasty item was a salsa accompanying his dish. He didn't complain because I was really looking forward to our meal out but I'll struggle to get him there again.

    Love this restaurant, eat here whenever in Cambridge. But….. yesterday’s meal could have been hotter and needed a warm plate to start with.

    Quite simply, this is one of the best restaurants in the world. The food is incredible. Every course was absolutely delicious, the ambience of the dining room is unfussy and welcoming. The staff are all friendly and efficient. And Brett Graham, the chef, takes his time to come to every table, explaining the dishes and chatting to his customers all through the night. Incredible. Up there with Core and The Fat Duck as my favourite restaurants in London, and one of the best dining experiences of my life. Stunning. I’m already planning a return.
