Ivy Market Grill

Had a lovely late lunch/early dinner at Ivy’s on Friday. We didn’t have booking’s however lovely gentleman by reception manage to find us (4 girls) a table. He had some fish and chips, salmon, asparagus followed by amazing cocktails! 🍹 We absolutely enjoyed service by mister Andrew who’s knowledge of food and hospitality in general is extraordinary. Thank you for making our night Andrew. Next time we fly in to London we are visiting this place again!

A beautiful space with a fantastic menu. Either they were understaffed or not trained well but the service was painfully slow and our server seemed very nervous the entire time. Food, atmosphere and location made up for it (as well as the Air Conditioning on a hot day).

If I could have given 10 stars I would! This was our first visit and we were blown away with the service & food. It’s our 30th wedding anniversary and we thought we would have a nice lunch here as the outside seating area looked very inviting. The reception staff passed us the menus and handed us over to one of the waiters. We were early so had a choice of tables. The staff were polite and attentive at all times. Our shepherd pie was delicious as was all the food we ordered. While chatting with one of the waiters we mentioned our anniversary and at dessert time he brought us an anniversary chocolate bombe each, a lovely gesture and it made our day! Thank you to all the staff, an anniversary meal we will remember. Highly recommend.

We were able to book a dinner very last minute and what a pleasant surprise. The space is quite big inside with an edgy and retrò decor. We've ordered fried zucchini and cheese soufflé as starters and OMG both were absolutely fantastic. Portion sizes are quite big. As mains we've ordered the Ivy burger and the glazed Korean chicken. Nothing to say here. Everything was cooked perfectly and vary tasty. The service was a bit slow but that's ok. We spent 69£ total.

Poor service and some staff have an attitude. Felt judged by a particular member of staff who appeared to decide if you get the table type request or not. Some staff very friendly and attentive by so unprofessional when they almost argue between each other in front of customers. One waiter even slammed the door to outside after having a disagreement. Food was good but you can also get much better elsewhere for the same price or cheaper. It is very busy and cramped inside, my chair kept on being bashed by staff walking past. Tables are very close and inside is really rather loud and packed. Wine we ordered was warm and after saying at the start of the meal nothing was done so got it removed from the bill as we simply didn’t drink it. ****Update**** I got a response to my review so emailed as suggested. 2 months later no response so just feels like an empty token gesture but the reality is they don’t care. Other tables around us got the wrong food which they didn’t order, whilst another waited an hour for a cocktail. Feels like they are living off the name and are happy because people come through the door. Wouldn’t go back as there are more than enough choices in London.
