   A wonderful welcome with super friendly staff - good took forever to come which wasn’t terrible but definitely glad we started with the corgette fritti! (Very salty but tasty) Had scallops to start which were very tasty after adding some salt Truffle Milenese for main which was dry and fried egg overdone. The waiter that bought us our mains asked if we would like any sauces which we said yes and asked for alongside a pepper mill that worked but they were never bought over…. Probably the worst Ivy I have ever been too which is a shame as I always thought you can’t go wrong with an ivy…

   The ambiance at The Ivy Harrogate is undeniably charming, and the food lives up to its reputation for quality. The dishes we ordered were beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. However, the service left much to be desired. Despite an overall pleasant dining experience, it took over 45 minutes for our desserts to arrive, which significantly dampened the evening. The delay felt excessive and wasn’t adequately addressed by the staff, leaving us feeling frustrated. If the service were more attentive, this would be a five-star experience. As it stands, while the food was excellent, the long wait for dessert makes it hard to fully recommend.

   The meal was not the best, but the atmosphere was perfect. My wife’s ribeye was requested to be cooked in butter rather than rapeseed oil, though, and that didn’t quite come off, with the steak tasting like it had been broiled instead. Still, we appreciated the overall experience and will be returning!

   We ordered the fried courgettes and salt and pepper squid the squid was ok. We sent the courgettes’ back as they were quite greasy. The main meal took an hour to come. I ordered the blackened cod which was very overcooked. This was changed to the sea bass which was ok but still overcooked. I had to ask for a fresh order of broccoli to come. My husband ordered the lobster linguine which he said was ok but not worth the £38 cost. The white wine was served in what I would callas beer glasses. Apparently this is a new policy. How naff. These were changed when we asked the staff. At no point did a senior member of staff enquire or apologise to us for the wait, poor food etc. The Ivy does not understand what a proper cortado is. Overall highly priced and not great customer service. Too many really good places to eat in Harrogate to risk a disappointing experience here.
