Had a lovely Christmas Eve lunch at the Ivy. We all enjoyed our entrees very much. I had the Harvest Bowl-all the components were cooked well and the overall dish tasted very fresh and light…which was exactly what I was after. The restaurant decor was beautiful and festive and our server was very friendly. Overall a wonderful family experience!
