Ivy Market Grill

Chain restaurant of impeccable quality. Young friendly staff, rustic decor, outstanding menu and good ambience. The seats are comfortable and well spaced out. The bathroom facilities are elaborate and eccentrically decorated, but are very clean. Unfortunately the bathroom facilities are downstairs - which can be a issue if you are not mobile or are frail. The food is of exceptional quality. Reasonably priced. And presented like works of art. The chefs are excellent. You will never have a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Everyone should come here. Opening hours are extensive and the menus cater for this. This is one of the best restaurants in london.

This should be 4.5 stars. While the service and attention to details was impressive, however, there were gaps when someone (not our server) popped over to assist they didn't follow through with the request until we asked again 10+ minutes later. That said, our server Alexandros was fantastic! Always making spot on suggestions while being super friendly at the same time. We ordered the beef tartare, which was fantastic, the shepherds pie also good with a creative spin, and not what you expect. The scallops appetizer comes with 3 scallops and 3 potatoes... Slightly deceptive and not exactly worth the money. The Korean chicken had good flavor and great presentation, but felt kinda unequal to some of the other more impressive entrees. Maybe because chicken is hard to make impressive. The salt and pepper squid was a tasty, and what your expect for fried calamari. For dessert we had the chocolate bomb, but it was more of a bust. The fancy Carmel presentation pour to melt the chocolate was just that, a presentation... It basically transforms the desert into a solid blob of inedible sugar... Do not recommend. Minus the cold weather and the lack of working heaters outside, overall a great experience, with very friendly and accommodating staff!

We enjoyed our experience here. The food was excellent and really great quality. I especially loved the fishcake and my husband's tempura prawn starter was amazing. The cocktails were great, and reasonable considering the area. The staff were kind and friendly, especially the manager who did make us laugh towards the end of the meal. The only reason I took away a star was because it took 35 minutes for our cocktails to arrive (apparently they weren't punched in the first time until we asked again) and then because our table was near the front door, we had people constantly waiting around us which was a bit off-putting. Otherwise, we would probably return when it was slightly less busy as I'm guessing they were just understaffed.

Absolutely amazing. Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. It’s not cheap but if your nearby I would 100% recommend eating here. The atmosphere is lovely and the staff are so friendly. The food is outstanding and to die for (especially the Parmesan and truffle chips. It’s in a great location to with loads around to do. Even the toilets are amazing 😂. Would definitely visit again

We had an amazing afternoon. We had the best beef fillet amd perfectly cooked (medium). And the starters also very tasty. Service was really quick despite was bank holiday and the venue seemed busy. We will definitely come back!
