   Edinburghs The ivy:19/12/24 The waitress and the waiter were really nice the food sounds good and some... Interesting. Its kind of noisy. The drinks: The drinks were really nice my mother says it's really nice she also says it is fruity and goes down easily. The looks: It looks really nice there's candle's in the middle of each table the view has to much construction though there's lamps in the middle of each window to the paintings in the back are... Kind of nice actually there's a leaf in a corner of the room which I like The starter: The smoke salmon was amazing and wonderful especially with the lemon best smoke smalon ever. The foods time to come. Its taken a long time. The main course: The fish was exquisite one of a kind and the chips were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WAY BETTER THAN THE SMOKE SALMON WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE BEST the mushy peas were... Weird and the ribeye steak was good but burgers are still better. The dessert: Since it was my sister's birthday I got a FREE dessert and it's part of a birthday cake AND trust me IT'S TO DIE FOR!!! The bill: The bill is way less than I thought just 231!?!? THAT'S A BARGAIN ESPECIALLY FOR HOW MUCH WE GOT! The rating: The final rating is... 4.5 stars🌟⭐🌟⭐ Review by Ollie Smith

   Busy evening, Service was very slow to start with, had just finished our dessert and our Waiter told us that the next reservation was due in 30 minutes. Which they then mention getting us the bill. 15 minutes pass and still not bill so we needed to go up to ask ourselves.

   We went for afternoon tea and really enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food. We each got a beverage in addition to the tea service. They served a lot of food

   Service in general was ok initially. Asked for chicken Milanese without Parmesan. Got it with Parmesan after waiting 40 mins and also with Parmesan breadcrumbs after the waitress forgot to tell me that it was also included to then top it off when I said take it back the service got worse and no offer of desert or even the service charge removed or considered to be removed! Classic Christmas service! I regularly visit the chain in London, Glasgow, cheltenham and home city Edinburgh! Don’t bother! Was all a tad too Much effort for Scotlands capital City! Won’t be back and won’t recommend to my friends in other cities!

   We booked breakfast for 8.30am. Several of us queued waiting outside to go in, but lady on front desk couldn’t be bothered to say they were open! Once inside, we sat for 30 minutes waiting for someone to take our order. Other people had come in and received their food during this time. Shocking service and food was mediocre. Third time at this restaurant in Edinburgh but we won’t be back. Glasgow restaurant is much better
