   Music too loud. Legendary shepherds pie was not up to scratch. Just trading on the name I’m afraid…

   Always good food and you can count on the quality. The service was exceptional. We sat at the bar after the rugby and were well served by the bar team. Friendly and caring. Really good.

   Booked for an Afternoon tea for a special occasion... Afternoon tea at the Ivy Cardiff is an event or a spectacle. I think calling it anything else is underselling it. The scones were sublime, the tea as always was exceptional, the sandwiches were light yet filling. The cream cupcakes and the chocolate Bombe are just exceptional. Service was spectacular as always. Truly wonderful experience. Will be going again in the very near future! Superb!

    There were not enough canapés and not enough staff on the bar. The staff that were there however were brilliant xx

    Good Evening Clad, we appreciate your honest review. We set a high standard for ourselves, so we are disappointed to hear that your experience with us wasn’t all positive.
