My friend and I had a table booked for a late lunch at 15.00. I turned up at around 14.30, and it was no trouble at all that I was so early. We both went for the fixed price menu at £19 for two courses, and had the salmon rillette and chicken satay to start, followed by the haddock fishcake and shepherd's pie. My friend had a side of green beans as well. The food was all delicious, as usual at The Ivy, and the service was efficient and friendly - although our young waitress was asking us about the food before we'd had a chance to eat anything. The bill, with two glasses of House Champagne and a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc came to roughly £50 each including service.

The restaurant as always was warm and had a nice vibe. The waitress didn’t know the menu and service was slow. I booked for the winter warmer but this wasn’t available. The bill wasn’t correct. In a post the food was good. The arrival and leaving was made very pleasant by the friendly engaging and very helpful cloakroom attendant, he made the evening. I think on this occasion I was unfortunate with the service, also the fact that the menu requested didn’t seem to be available

The afternoon tea with champagne was excellent. Perfect service, faultless catering of cakes and scallops really was a lovely birthday treat for my husband. The added bonus of a surprise birthday treat served with a greeting message was very well received. Thank you Savoy x
