Freshwater Restaurants

The best shoulder of lamb I have enjoyed for many years!

A beautiful restaurant - relaxing surroundings -wonderful food cooked to order using fresh ingredients hence a small menu. The down side for me is the gratuity charge added at the end. I. Simply don’t like it. I think we should be able to make our own decisions about the tip and it not be an assumption.

Visited for the first time today, although myself and hubby have visited a number of ivys in the past and the new Bournemouth brasserie lived up to the high expectations of the Ivy. We were greeted with very friendly, welcoming and accommodating staff that honestly could not do enough for us. The decor is absolutely stunning and the service from start to finish was impeccable, we felt like royalty!! Most importantly the food was stunning. It was served to us in a very timely manner, well presented, hot and it was extremely delicious. We have already booked for Valentine’s weekend as we were totally blown away by the whole dining experience. Thank you and merry Christmas to all the wonderful hardworking staff at the Ivy that really did go above and beyond to make our experience a fantastic one.

Great for children. Food much better than in the past and fun stuff like getting the children’s drinks in mini milk bottles.

It was good to go on a less busy night, sometimes it’s very noisy particularly at the weekends. Food always good and staff attentive.
