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.

Generally an enjoyable meal but a bizarre wait for our drinks as the waiter who solicitously took our order when asked where they were said”he was not allowed to go to the bar”!

Overall a very enjoyable experience however the service was somewhat disjointed, we waited an unacceptable amount of time after one glass of champagne had been poured before my guest received theirs. The atmosphere is lovely and we appreciated the pianist in the background. The traditional afternoon tea food was well presented and tasty. We loved the savoury selection.
