The Ivy Market Grill

Shame that our experience at the Ivy was marred by some bad service, because I actually thought the food here was decent. I ended up having the shepherds pie which was small, but delicious. Giving one star for service because it was noticeably bad. First, if you're going to have a steak special on the menu, your staff should really be able to answer simple questions about it, like how many ounces of steak come with it. We were hit with an "I don't know" from the two gentlemen serving our area. Second, if I'm asking what the better option is between two different items on the menu, ignoring the two options I asked about and trying to upsell me on a third option I didn't even mention is just tacky and reeks of bad faith. This was the only restaurant in our entire trip where we asked to have the discretionary service fee removed because of the terrible attitude of the two gentlemen serving our area. If you're going to run a restaurant that tries to pretend like it's a nicer dining experience then make sure to focus on actually providing a nicer dining experience.

Breakfast - great poached eggs, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating on substitutions / making my meal keto friendly as long as didn’t buy a pre-set meal. My eggs were done perfectly, the bacon could have been a little more crispy as o asked for it crispy, but might just be how they make the bacon in the UK. Although I only had a small bite of the toast - it was well prepared and butter was smooth. All in all a great dining experience. Cozy atmosphere and warm feel. Excellent service.

We had a lovely experience at The Ivy Market Grill. All the drinks were delicious and the food was amazing. The chips were the best we've ever had and the eggs were perfectly cooked. The pancakes are DELICIOUS and the service was incredible with 0 mistakes. They were so attentive and friendly. The drinks are a little pricey but worth it!

I recently dined at Ivy Restaurant in London, and it was such a delightful experience! As someone with nut allergies, I often find it hard to enjoy meals, but the staff here were incredibly understanding and attentive. They took the time to explain the menu and helped me find delicious options that were safe for me to enjoy. The food was absolutely amazing, and I loved every bite! If you have nut allergies, I highly recommend Ivy. They truly care about their guests and make sure everyone can enjoy their meal. However sometimes they say they are fully booked and they r not. So u need to check time availability in the website.

The Ivy Market Grill delivered delicious food and excellent service overall. However, our lunch in the private room came with an unexpected twist—someone dropped something (possibly a dish tray), and the reaction was quite dramatic, with shouting and swearing. While it momentarily disrupted the atmosphere, it was amusing in its own way. A memorable experience for sure!

Joined friends here for dinner. Our first time in London. They explained they are a bit of a chain. Atmosphere was nice. Reservations are highly suggested as we had a 4:30 dinner before a play. Great location in busy area. My wife ordered the shepherds pie which she was looking forward too. A bit disappointed as there was mostly beef and less veggies. She loved the creamed spinach. My fish and chips was OK, the bottom was a bit burnt but the fish was fresh and cooked correct. The chips were all small pieces, why? This is the second time in London I’ve received this. Our friends seem to enjoy their meals. Had to ask 3 times for a drink which was received after the meal.

Couldn't fault them one bit. Food was perfect, service was amazing and very accommodating and on it when it came to helping my partner who was using a wheel chair. The ambience of the restaurant is really lovely and creates a really nice overall experience. Veggie menu was also very impressive and about the size of the main menu, prices also were very fair for what it is.

Very nice decor and atmosphere. I have to be many ivy establishments over the years and this was a bit of a let down. Service was not good and I have come to expect. Very slow and hard to get anyone’s attention if needed. Food was very average and not what you expect with the standards normally set and the price. Dinner is good but breakfast was poor.

Make reservations to this popular restaurant at the Covent Garden. My husband and I enjoyed a cocktail first at the bar before getting seated for our reservation. Most people dress up, it's a lovely restaurant. Both our dishes, sea bass and lobster linguine were great. Didn't get to try any desserts as we were so full. Staff service is awesome. The green jackets reminds me of the Masters.

The Ivy Market Grill, a renowned British restaurant in Covent Garden, offers a classic cream tea experience in an upscale setting. Cream tea, a quintessentially British tradition, consists of freshly baked scones, clotted cream, and strawberry jam, accompanied by a choice of tea or coffee. They also offer traditional afternoon tea (£33 - which includes finger sandwiches and petit fours in addition to the cream tea offerings). Cream Tea (£10 = $12.50 USD) - This included 3 fruit scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam, pieces of strawberry and a choice of tea or coffee. The scones were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious buttery flavor. The clotted cream was rich and creamy, and the strawberry jam was sweet and tart, perfectly complementing the scones. I chose the English Breakfast tea, a special blend that The Ivy Market Grill has been serving since 1917. The tea was full-flavored and invigorating, and it paired beautifully with the scones and clotted cream. Overall I was impressed with the value of cream tea here. The service at The Ivy Market Grill was impeccable, and the ambiance was sophisticated and inviting. The restaurant was completely packed when I visited, which is a testament to its popularity among both locals and tourists alike.

Aug 2023 Hubby wanted to try The Ivy's Full English Breakfast while we were in London. I came across this market online so we decided to give it a try. We have learned during our stay in London that the portion sizes are rather generous. With that in mind, we decided to split the Ivy's Full English Breakfast and the Mini Pastries. The English Breakfast is similar to eggs and bacon breakfast that you would find in the U.S. The only difference is in the states our eggs and bacon breakfast doesn't usually include baked beans and black pudding. The English breakfast was good, but we didn't care for the black pudding. The mini pastries were the highlight for us. We had trouble understanding our server and had to ask him to repeat what he said several times. I stopped by the ladies restroom and couldn't stop admiring the pretty wallpaper and decor. Very girly girl and totally my style.

Nice location in Covent Garden with lots of shopping and atmosphere. We went for Xmas dinner but ended up getting other smaller dishes. The food was delish, especially the Shep Pie, broccoli, cheese soufflé and other sides. They were slow with my drink but they remedied it in the end. Highly recommend :)

Food: a great place to get the classic English food, like The Ivy Shepherd's Pie (slow-braised lamb and beef with cheddar mash, rosemary and red wine sauce) and Traditional Fish & Chips (North Sea cod in The Ivy 1917 batter with mushy peas, thick cut chips and tartare sauce) Service: great, timely service Design: interiors is in a traditional Victorian setting with beautiful windows and interior plants to soften the dark oak stained woods Overall: if you want an amazing English experience with great classic or updated English food in a beautiful old Victorian setting, then this is a MUST TRY

The food was amazing, our waitresses were great. But we were really disappointed by the manager. We were originally sat outside but multiple mice began running by us and we had to ask to be moved inside. They waited an hour to ask for our orders and took a long time to move us inside despite the mice running all around us. It was also my best friends birthday and I told them multiple times, they failed to bring anything out until after they brought the check out and I complained to the manager about the mice, how long it took, and the fact we still had not received anything for my friends birthday. They decided to take off the service fee (WHAT THEY PAY THE WAITRESSES WITH) off of our bill to "make up" for the issues when our waitresses were not the issue. We refused to do that so we paid in full despite the multiple issues. Very disappointing from the manager, hopefully he reads this.

The Ivy is a staple restaurant in Europe and after frequenting a few of their locations, we finally made it to this location near/in Covent Gardens. This location is in an active shopping area and nearby the local theaters so it made for the perfect dinner pit stop before a play. As others noted, the night we came the service was pretty rough but then the food was absolutely fabulous! The service would have been a 2.5 stars BUT the food was so good I have to bump it up as this was truly one of my best meals and cocktail combo in London. Pro tip: make a reservation because the Ivy always seems to be packed. Having a reservation we were seated immediately but it was interesting to see how many people were turned away or given extreme wait times. So definitely make that reservation, you'll be happier for it. The decor and style of the restaurant is super fun and trendy. I get why it's so busy as it's Instagram worthy with pops of color and fun decor, but also classy and a nice spot to dine for any age. Our drinks and food were wonderful, a total 5/5 when it comes to the menu and taste. I love their cocktails here and this time I tried their summer special, the watermelon spritz. Drink was mega refreshing and a nice change from a traditional spritz. For food started with the fried zucchini strips. Needed some salt but otherwise it was a fun shareable appetizer served with a good yogurt pink sauce. My meal I had the steak tartare and it was the best one I've ever had. Nice little kick of spice but perfectly cold as any raw protein dish should be. It was fabulous and now I'll have to order this every time I come. Pricing was justified by the great drinks and meal. The service was super rough when we came though and is what had to keep me from giving them 5 stars. Our server was friendly, I can acknowledge that. He was all smiles and did seem to try to do his best to manage a lot of tables, but also there were just too many misses. Long story short he forgot about our meal and the kitchen didn't seem to make the dishes. We noticed every table around us getting their mains before us. Our server was hard to get ahold of to flag down about it, but we were also trying not to be pushy. Seemed like our waiter noticed once it was a bit too late as he came over and apologized (not really clarifying what happened) but saying our food would be out in a few moments. Ironic that out of all the tables we were served last given we had two non-cooked dishes, one salad and one raw steak dish. Should have been super easy. Anyways, our mains came an hour into us sitting down and it was a bummer as we had to rush as to not be late to our show. Then on top of it he brought us the wrong check as we were already rushed from all the issues beforehand. Service could really use some training and improvement as I was reading common themes. This place might just be too busy for the amount of staff they have. This will continue to lead to poorer service. I will say 4 stars is generous given the experience but the food and cocktails were really just that good.

5 stars across the board. Food, service, drinks... it has it all. We were blown away at the ambiance and the quality of food and service. Sitting at the bar, our bartenders took amazing care of us and we never wanted for a thing. Great conversation and care. Burrata, Burrata, Burrata. Can't say it enough. Come for that and enjoy everything else. Would come back here in a heartbeat.

My sister and I had lunch here and it was phenomenal! We shared the truffle aranchinis and sourdough, and ordered fish and chips and truffle chicken Milanese for mains. 10/10. Camilla was our waitress and she was attentive and so nice.

Great Full English Breakfast. Lovely location. Very good service. Will look to rebook the next time we're in London.

This restaurant has a few locations all over London. The location in Covent Garden is the only location I have dined . The service, food and ambiance were absolutely amazing and they treated my family very well. They went above and beyond to accommodate all food allergies and offer great food recommendations. The other thing I liked was that the restaurant had a small menu which allowed them to make all the dishes well. If you are looking for a great restaurant to dine this is a fantastic choice.

We made a reservation, which was wise as it was busy but not crowded. The food was fresh and delivered quickly but not rushed. Lots of memorabilia on the walls, friendly staff, great food. Perfect for Sunday brunch.

I wish I could give a better review, but unfortunately after a pleasant greeting by the host and hostess it started to go down hill. After going to the restroom (which was extremely clean) walking up the stairs I saw a mouse climbing up the stairs to the main area. I was completely flustered. I ran and told my boyfriend who explained that it happens in the city. I just wouldn't expect to ever see a mouse in the running up the stairs. My boyfriend told the host and hostess and they were surprised and apologized, but that was it. Nothing from management and it was all very odd. No one seemed as surprised as me. We were sat down at a nice table in the main area. Our server arrived quickly, but then was very slow after. I do understand that they have been short staffed so it's understandable. They ran out of bread, but that wasn't really the end for us, although our server who was presenting wines was polite our first choice was unavailable. My boyfriend chose another white wine which was 3rd from the bottom and he returned showed the wine (similar in name) but a red. At that point we were just over it, the wine was nice (not what we ordered). The restaurant was definitely clearing out, our plates were cleared but then it then took about another 20-30 min for us to get the check and that was after we asked a manager. Regarding the food, the scallops were very nice. Cooked well and very flavorful. The filet was extremely tender and flavorful as well.

We came here just for the "Cream Tea" service. It's 8.95 GBP per person which was a pretty nice deal- IMO. You'll get three freshly made scones with clotted cream, jam, and minced strawberries. We each got our own pot of tea and you can pick your choice of tea. We were full by the end of our meal and we enjoyed the scones a lot. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. Great experience here and I would come back again.

For my first full day in London in years since being back I really had to go for THE IVY FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST. It had eggs, beans, tomatoes, black pudding, mushrooms, and bacon. Let's just say I had to eat a little bit of everything and tap out. Wish I could have taken it for takeaway. :( ENJOY!

Had dinner here last night, the food and service was amazing. It was a private dinner and we were seated in a private room that was very nice and intimate with a pre selected menu of salad, shepherds pie and a mixed berries desert. Everything was delicious and the ambiance was amazing.

We had brunch here & it was superb! I ordered the English breakfast & it didn't disappoint. The decor's & ambiance of this place is nice. Staff is friendly too! It was in the Jubilee Market area so very convenient.

Their food is extremely overpriced. Nothings very good they don't even honor their hours of operation avoided all cost ribeyes $38 and you get absolutely nothing with it. We got two drinks and two apps and it was 58 pounds???????? How is this possible. On top of that they were trying to close early. How is this place in business and why is it popular. This place is trash.

Food were prepared nicely and delicious. Service was great. The restaurant is beautiful, but price is fair.

Another great gem we stubbles upon walking through the streets of Covent Garden area in London All I have to say is LOBSTER RISOTTO!! It's a MUST !! It was so delicious looking I didn't remember to take a picture. The yellowfin tuna carpaccio app was also incredible ! It's also a WOW app!! Also ordered the pumpkin soup. The soup Came barely warm and wasn't really in to it even after getting a new one piping hot. Was good because we sat at the first table by the door so we felt the draft every time the door opened. But moving on... Ordered the blackened cod and was this just cooked to perfection ! Was so tasty and a light dish. We also ordered I believe was a special was a bone in pork chop. It was excellent ! Enjoyed a specialty drink made with white port. I love port because it's a sweet wine but can't remember what it was called. Had a cute freshly made cappuccino to end with a delicious dessert of frozen berries with white chocolate and a chocolate bombe. The only reason I didn't give this place a 5 star rating was because one of the hostess women was snotty and rude. She was an older one whereas the younger ones were nice. We had our son and there were 4 tables available next to us and sat us right where the door opened which was pretty cold. The tables were free for the whole time during dinner until we had our dessert. I would think for having a child to have some consideration to move us a little further away as she made the comment it would be cold, but nope, Sat us right in the front. Enjoyed the dinner but she kinda sucked. Other than that, the waiter was pleasant and attentive! Thank you !

Only here for drinks and it was worthwhile. The bartenders were nice and put on a show making the drinks. The atmosphere was fun. The bathrooms were clean and beautiful. Can't beat the location, as it's in the heart of Covent Garden. Excited to come back here to try the food sometime.

Food was amazing, service not so much. Took forever to get cocktails ordered. The vegetarian menu is solid and has good options. The cheese soufflé was absolutely incredible.

I've eaten at more than one Ivy and have always enjoyed their food and ambiance. Until I tried this one. A friend and I had an 8:15 reservation. He arrived early and was having a glass of wine at the bar when I walked in. As I walked towards the bar to join him, the hostess literally grabbed me by the shoulder and asked me where I was going. I told her I was going to the bar to have a drink with my friend. She said that we had a reservation on the terrace and we needed to go there immediately since they would stop serving in 10 minutes. Ridiculous. She followed me to the bar where I insisted I was going to have a drink before I sat down to have dinner. She begrudgingly walked off and said we needed to be outside in 10 minutes. Rude considering the terrace was half empty. When we went outside about 15 minutes later she seated us at a table very close to another one that had three diners. There were four empty tables in a row and we asked to be seated at one a bit further away. She told us that they were all reserved and we couldn't sit there. I asked how they could be reserved if they were closing in 10 minutes and where were the guests in that case? No answer. Of course, no one else ever showed up for the empty tables so she was clearly lying to us. My friend went to the bathroom and then spoke to the manager on the way back about the treatment we had been given. Shortly after he returned the table, the manager showed up berating him for walking away and turning his back on him while he was talking. After several minutes of haranguing us in front of the other guests on the terrace I told him that he needed to leave us alone. Apparently the waiter tipped off another manager who came out shortly afterwards and apologized and offered us a free drink. But by that time the evening was ruined by their rudeness and we really didn't care about the food or anything else. The food was marginal anyway so I highly recommend that you never, never, ever go to this restaurant under any circumstances. Their snootiness and appalling rudeness is unforgivable. And I hate being lied to. Repeatedly. And I hate being embarrassed by an insecure, hysterical manager.

Slow service, incredibly unimpressive food. The chicken curry barely had any chicken in it and the garnishes were so excessive it made it hard to eat. The frozen yogurt dessert was icy and tasted store-bought. The fish and chips was alright but nothing special.

The arrogance of the staff. This restaurant is trading on its reputation and brand. And diners need to demand more. To expect diners to have a minimum four course meal simply to get a table. To not offer bar service for lighter meals. It's just unrealistic. And I'm sorry to see such a respected brand tarnish itself with a misguided set of rules and demands. I don't believed I'll even try to return.

The food was actually great, but the service was not. The hostess gave us the worst table in the place, between a bathroom and the kitchen, even though we had a reservation and half the room the stood empty. Waiters rushing by every moment. Even with so many empty tables our waiter seemed super stressed and we felt like he couldn't wait for us to get out. Not very relaxing or welcoming.

Great find in Covent Garden. From the host to the bar and wait staff you cannot ask for better service. The cocktail and wine list were amazing! I recommend getting the Tuna carpaccio and also their famous lamb shepherds pie! This is going to be my frequent stop when I'm in this area. Please stop in, you won't be disappointed.

One of the many Ivy's around London we booked here for lunch as a last minute to meet some friends. I am glad we did as the food, location, ambience and service were all really good. The only small negative was my fish and chips sat T the counter too long and resulted in soggy fish in the middle but the taste was sensational. They also have a vegetarian menu here with vegan choices and the vegan main course was delicious. The desserts were divine and we loved the melting chocolate ball with caramel sauce, heavenly :-) Service was excellent and choices of drinks plenty. They were very quick with the food and attentive with their service. We had an excellent waiter who was very friendly and nice. Happily come here again anytime. It's good food and good service to match.

Overall it a good restaurant...the food is good but I believe it's over hyped...especially with the prices. There are significantly much better restaurants with much better food at a lower price than this one in the Covent Garden and SOHO area. I have had breakfast and lunch and both were ok but really overpriced. Food was nothing special. Actually I recently had the steak tartare and within an hour had diarrhea.

This place is fun and has a nice atmosphere. The food is average but the prices are very reasonable. The service is ok but overall everyone is friendly.

I don't ever write reviews but I was at The Ivy Market Grill earlier today and what I witnessed still doesn't sit right with me. I am so happy that I didn't give this establishment my money. I had a reservation and was looking to be seated early and was met with quite the line and an especially unwelcoming and unkind hostess. I understand that it is cold in London and that it is extremely busy due to the holiday season and influx of travelers, but there really is no excuse for the type of service that myself and other customers were given. The hostess was very rude to guests simply for holding the door open and, quite honestly, it seemed like just for wanting to eat at the establishment. For someone that was meant to be doing a hostess' job, they also had no organization in their system and I was cut off multiple times by other, ahem British, guests. Moving on from the actual restaurant staff, the diners at this establishment are just another reason to never return. I've been to many countries, and I've even lived in countries and cities where residents are notoriously rude. But I have never met more entitled people than I did at The Ivy Market Grill. I was cut off by two different parties and witnessed one woman legitimately yell at another patron for no reason. The restaurant staff did nothing of the sort to get her to stop and it made my entire experience so uncomfortable. I'll just say this, if you aren't British, and I mean without a drop of foreign blood, I wouldn't give this restaurant a second of your time. Holidays are stressful, that doesn't mean we should accept such trashy behavior.

Having read some prior reviews on slow service we were apprehensive about going. Turned out to be an excellent meal. Service was great. Food ( tempura prawns and fish and chips) was excellent. Overall great meal. Restaurant was a little warm where we were located which was the only downside.

Great meal almost ruined in the last 40 minutes. Arrived at 6pm with my wife and girls for nice Friday night dinner. Service started prompt and very friendly. Decor was great, with lots of old posters and photos. The mood is dim lighting and romantic with a trendy crowd. After a full day of museums we felt a tad underdressed. Food was easily 5 stars. No kids memues, but our girls did just fine either with fish and chips or a Starter + Side Dish. In our case our daughter ordered the Prawn Appetizer with a side of chips. I ordered the Truffle Arancini and the Market Special Halibut. Both excellent. The cocktail menu was great, with a nice selection of cocktails, beers, and spirits. For dessert I ordered the Apple Tarte with Calvados flambe. Service went from 5 stars to 2 after the main course was finished. After the main plates were cleared, it seems that waitstaff switched and a new waiter arrived. It took 20 minutes between getting the menu and placing our order. It took another 20 to get our dessert. They also made a mistake on the Strawberry Sundea, causing us to wait yet another 15 minutes. I would give this place 3.5 stars. Because Yelp only allows whole star ratings, I gave a 4 stars mainly because of the excellent food despite the service slip up.

Went here for brunch on a weekend and tried the 'usual' brunch items. Food: very standard Price: I felt like I was paying more for the venue than the food Service: fantastic Location: fantastic Would I go again: No. There are way better brunch places in London.

We came here for a Saturday morning brunch and really enjoyed it. The neighborhood is great to walk around and this particular restaurant is laid out well and has lots of space. My wife and I both had A Full English Breakfast and it was banging!! The eggs were cooked perfect and super fresh (you can tell by the orange'y yolks), the grilled tomatoes were lovely, the smoked bacon was crisp and salty (and not too smoky), the mushrooms were delicious, and the baked beans were perfect. The only thing we didn't love was the sausage, and the black pudding (disgusting... just look up what it is and how it's made). The service was really good and the prices were moderate. I definitely recommend.

Lovely atmosphere and good service once at the table. Excellent food - would recommend the truffle chicken and the fish and chips, both were fantastic! They were great as well at accommodating dietary restrictions.

My family and I were in London recently for a night and met up with some family for dinner. We were looking for something British and settled on this restaurant. It had a nice old school feel to it with its wood finishings and decor. Decided on the Shepard's Pie, which was a little different from the classic but quite good. The desserts were also very tasty of which I remembered the apple tart the most.

Best food and excellent service. The staff supported us in getting yo the theatre on time, too. Great Ivy memories as always!

I was recommended this location as a reasonably priced breakfast spot from my hotel concierge. I am always a fan of trying new places so off I went. The location was nice compared to my hotel. The exterior was a proper old English building. As I entered I was greeted and seated promptly. I liked they had a sign say no photography. Of course I did get my yelp pictures. I was seated at a nice little table with a cute napkin that contained the restaurant name and logo. My waiter was polite and prompt. He even asked me if I needed additional normally forgotten items - thanks. I decided on the eggs Royale and an orange juice. My juice was delivered quickly along with my requested still water. Ha look at me saying still water like a proper Brit . My meal came out shortly later and was presented fabulously. I enjoyed my food very much it was a good temperate, prepared to cooked but not over cooked nicely, and garnished to make me feel like I was at a nice place. I highly recommend this location for breakfast and possibly more. It is on the nicer side and prices are below five star costs but above cheap. I did feel the price was set correctly. My meal ended I paid with a a credit card. Optional tip was included of 12.5%. I like when the receipt explicitly states it is optional. So then it's just convenient. Good experience will try to return but so many more places to try!!! Happy eating

We went to Ivy Market Grill Covent Garden to celebrate the 60th birthday of our dear friend. The service by the door reception and the waiters was appalling. The door receptionist drag my coat all over the floor because she was uninterested to lift the hanger onto which the coat was hanged. The waitress was rude and brought a wrong order twice. The food was far from the quality we got in Ivy King's Road. Steaks were chewy and scallops were from the freezer and cooked with too much sauce as to cover up the taste of low quality scallops. We needed to remind her to bring us steak knives, salt and pepper, not to try (again) to remove the basket of bread from the table, etc. The toilets were truly dirty and there was no toilet paper anywhere. Overall, a truly appalling experience and a huge of waste of money.

We had a lovely Christmas Eve brunch here. Well, the food was lovely - the service was shoddy and a bit unprofessional, which was a shame. I had eggs Benedict, and the Hollandaise was exceptional. My dining partner had the Shepherd's Pie and was very happy indeed, but I thought the portion was on the small side. That being said, the eggs Benedict was a large amount of food - and comes with chips - and we couldn't finish it. We also had a couple of cocktails, which were tasty and inventive, but mine was entirely too strong, and despite it not being touched, no attempt was made to rectify it (nor was I even asked if it was okay...) Small niggles in service at a place bearing the Ivy's name is really unacceptable, hence the the lost stars (the waiter brought ketchup when I asked for mayo, scrambled around on the ground to pick up with his hands a container of chips he dropped, argued with me when I asked him to not use the little crumb scraper). It was lovely food though in a pretty setting, and probably worth another go. Brunch for 2 with a drink each and service (which comes on the receipt) was around £55.

Great meal with a very accommodating staff. Our first table was uncomfortable and cramped. When we asked for a change, we were moved to a much more comfortable location, perfect for a reunion of old friends that live in opposite sides of the pond. We had lovely cocktails and a very nice bottle of wine to compliment our meal. The scallop appetizer was perfection and quite delicious. The lobster entree was on point . Fortunately, we saved room for desert . The chocolate profiteroles were yummy. We also enjoyed a perfectly prepared creme brûlée and lemon pannacotte.

Second time I'm going for breakfast in one of the "ivy" and I love this retro atmosphere. The ivy market grill made me feel like in an old train station cafe in the 30s. The music is really retro as well! I ordered a cappuccino with the avocado tomatoes poached eggs. It was really good and fulfill ! The service was great and fast I totally recommend this place if you are looking for a cosy and original place for an amazing breakfast/brunch

Food was absolutely amazing! Shepherds pie and lobster risotto were out of this world. As tourists this was our first experience with London food and it was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Popped in a Saturday afternoon during the Christmas holidays and asked for Afternoon Tea. Very busy so got sat at bar, absolutely fine. The savory sandwiches of the tea set were great, smoked salmon the best of course. At £29 including a glass of champagne and the tea, I think this is good value actually better than a fancy hotel

Bartenders made this 4 stars but upon arrival we were told that we couldn't sit outside since we weren't having a ful dinner We sat inside and ordered espresso martinis and a nice truffle Arancini They charged my phone. That was nice They had nice desserts My friend just wanted martinis

Loved our entire dinner experience. Restaurant is lively and located in a fun area. Service was top notch. Perfect spot for our last family dinner in London. Kids menu options were nice. We enjoyed risotto with lobster and the market veg salad to start. The hamburger and salmon were hits at our table as well!

One of our favorite breakfast places in London. The restaurant is very classy, with excellent service. The food is great. My husband had the classic Ivy full English breakfast, i had Ivy full vegetarian breakfast and our son has pancakes. All dishes were very creatively presented and very tasty. Will definitely return here!

I came here for breakfast one day with the family on a whim while visiting London. The ambiance was nice and the place wasn't too crowded or loud. I had the omelette and my brother had the English breakfast, both of which were great. Service was friendly and helpful too. Great place!
