   Great food at a price we felt reasonable for the quality. My Prawn & Lobster cocktail was very good. We both had shepherds pie which was amazing. Only issue the waitress seemed confused when we ordered 2 glasses of pink champagne and bought rose wine instead, even when we challenged her she maintained it was champagne. A more senior member of staff resolved the issue. We would thoroughly recommend The Ivy

   Great service and very friendly. Got a little busy and that meant the attentive nature to start dropped off. And the food was pricy for what it was. But delicious.

   Everything was lovely except one thing . The sauce on the prawn and lobster cocktail was very vinegary and overpowered the taste of the lovely prawns and lobster cocktail. Such a shame .

   We had a lovely table and both waiters were friendly and professional. It was very relaxing and not rushed.

   Enjoyed the evening, first time at the Bath Ivy and isn't the standard of others in the chain. Food was good but it's in need of some updating especially the toilets that were a bit grim.

   Amazing time. Always have a great experience here. Their knowledge of gluten free is great. As I’m coeliac it’s very important.

   I have been dining at The Ivy every Christmas for the past 5 years and this time was truly the worst. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful and thankfully our table was ready before time. Sadly the service was painfully slow and our 2 courses took almost 2 hours. When our mains did arrive, part of our order was missing and took quite a few minutes to arrive, which meant everyone couldn’t eat together. I felt the waiting staff weren’t very attentive and appeared to be standing at the service desk chatting. I even had to go to the desk to ask for another drink! Overall a slow, over priced, disappointment which is so sad, as I have had some great meals at The Ivy, in Bath, Winchester and London. We were very grateful to the kind waitress who removed the gratuity from our bill.

    I took my family and partner out for a pre Christmas supper and I have been to The IVY quite a few times before in Bath and it is usually a lovely experience but sadly this time although the food was good the service was very slow ,not just for the food but pouring the wine for the table too was not kept an eye on and as we had 2 bottles we had empty glasses a few times. Also it was very noisy but made worse by the loud disco type music playing in the background which made it hard to have a conversation easily and a relaxing time. I appreciate that it is always busier at Christmas time so even more reason to have music that feels a bit gentle playing in the back ground.
