   The overall ambience in the Ivy Bournemouth was absolutely gorgeous the staff at the entrance were very warm & welcoming. The actual servers however took ages to check on our table, bring the bill or bring the meals. The food was a solid 3 stars, underwhelming, and just overall really slow service. But overall we had a fair experience.

   Welcoming staff, birthday girl was treated to good wishes and a cream confection with a candle! We enjoyed everything we had, and the staff were all excellent. Thank you, Bournemouth Ivy, for a memorable lunch!

   It was lovely to try the ivy at Bournemouth for the first time and it won’t be the last, can’t get passed the shepherds pie, which I have always had and really enjoy at the Oxford ivy, it is amazing and add a couple of glasses of red wine and a lovely plate of cheese and biscuits and you have great meal. The service is exceptional and really friendly. Have already booked for Easter.

   Overall disappointed. Food average, scones hard and didn't seem fresh. Service not great, had to ask for side plates and more tea and coffee. Staff not attentive. Not value for money. Four of us dining and asked for separate bills, when questioned each of us having to pay £4 20 service charge, then asking for it to be removed, got the impression from staff they ere not happy and made us feel uncomfortable. Also not very professional, waitress came asked if tip we'd left was for her and took it before we'd left table. Not tge greatest experience, such a shame you didn't live up expectations.

    I was disappointed with the table I had booked! It was the smallest table in the restaurant stuck behind a pillar! There were lots of walk ins who were given better tables??? I did asked to be moved and I was but the second table wasn’t much better. If the restaurant had been full I would not have minded!
