The Ivy St Helen's Square York

This is probably the best dining experience I have ever had. If you want a 5 star treatment and food that would make your taste buds go crazy happy, this is the place to be. I have never experienced such 1st class treatment from staff anywhere else, and the steak is next to none. I would recommend this place to anyone and I will surely come back and try out everything on the menu.

Visited here for Sunday afternoon meal. On walking into the entrance it feels quite compact and I’m sad to say there was an overpowering smell which smelt like fish and if we had not made a booking we would have left due to this smell. The staff were very friendly and relaxed which made it enjoyable. The menu is varied and the food is reasonably priced. Food well presented and tasted really nice. Drinks we felt were overpriced if you like to have a few drinks over lunch this will make this an expensive experience. Having now been to the Ivy we don’t think it is a place that would be first on our list to revisit.

I can't believe I haven't visited sooner.. did not expect The Ivy to do such beautiful vegan options! Lovely place to eat, great service and cool pink toilets! I would recommend the vegan Asian salad and the zucchini fritters. They were both sooo good! Would also recommend the flavoured tequila on the rocks! Loved the amount of vegan options on the menu!

I have always wanted to go to an Ivy restaurant. The venue was delightful and the staff all excellent. We enjoyed our meals my husband had the steak which he said was excellent. They also gave us a little pudding treat for our wedding anniversary. We will definitely recommend and return when possible.

had the loveliest birthday breakfast here today, the service was incredible and they even gifted me a dessert with a candle, made me feel so special, but just the service alone would have been enough, because it was so good. We were served by Johnny, really nice guy! Will definitely be back and highly recommend as all items were high quality, delicious and presented beautifully.

Doctors food, beautiful decor and atmosphere, and the service was impeccable. We were celebrating our anniversary and they even gave us a free celebratory pudding! Loved the whole experience.

English food is a huge compliment here. The rabbit stew was so good and the sticky toffee pudding was a great way to end off. Loud but crowded. The noise took away from the ambiance. Come with a reservation, for sure. Our waitress was polite but we had many people serving us and checking on us throughout. We will come back.

I came here for the afternoon tea and it was fantastic! The service was fast and friendly and our server offered advice on vegan friendly options. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The attention to detail is unmatched - even the restroom was elaborately decorated
