Ivy Market Grill

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.

Lovely seating area outside with heaters overhead to keep you warm. Yummy food and good service. 2 course meal menu was really good value and we all enjoyed our food. I particularly enjoyed the vegan and cheese burger 🍔 not bad at all as far as Vegan burgers go 👍 Good spot just across from the Convent Garden Market. We didn't book, and managed to walk in and get a table for five. It was around 5pm, any later I'd say make a reservation. Thanks for hosting us ♥️

I don't think this place qualifies as an upscale restaurant where a dress code is required. We had visited The Ivy in Edinburgh and were quite satisfied with both the food and service, so we were looking forward to visiting the Market Grill location in London. However, the room was too small with far too many tables crammed together, and people were talking excessively loudly, making it difficult to focus on the meal. Our original plan was to order a full-course menu from appetizer to dessert, but due to the excessive noise and crowding, we ended up eating just enough to feel full and left the place quickly. The food and service were decent, but we won’t be visiting this location again. We would not recommend it to those who are particularly sensitive to noise.

We visited for having dinner with my friends. Their service was top-notch and the staff was polite and helpful. All food we had were marvellous.

Early evening family meal that was lovely. Goes without saying that The Ivy is a legendary badge, so that in itself feels kind of special. However, the food too was very good, and the lively, bustling, busy and intimate experience was great.
