    We live nearby and wanted to try The Ivy Cafe for a while now, and the festive season, with the festive menu set, seemed the perfect occasion. Alas, it's an experience partially delivered and I can't say we (couple) are fully satisfied. From the festive menu we elected: - Tempura squid, chicken skewers - Turkey Ballotine/ Steak - Ivy Signature dessert (snowman) and Ivy chocolate bomb Every food item was made to very high standards and we loved every bite of it. We also had one special request, which the restaurant could accomodate and we are very grateful for that. A few missed opportunities are worth mentioning: - the snowman signature dessert was supposed to be served with a glass bell and some "mist", however there was no mist only a glass bell - the chocolate bomb was also supposed to be served in a special way, with a box and some light effect ... but it was just brought us like a very normal dessert - the festive menu supposedly includes Christmas Crackers, but we didn't get them - nobody asked us if everything was ok when we requested/paid the bill, so I didn't share this feedback directly... I would suggest a quick check when paying or leaving the restaurant could help spot (possibly remedy) unfair treatments or missed opportunities Overall we appreciated the food, the environment and the staff has been really great.

    Overall, it was a great experience. The steak I had was flavorful, though slightly on the fatty side, and the desserts, while delicious, felt a bit pricey. The service and atmosphere, however, were excellent. One area for improvement would be the bathrooms, as they could benefit from better cleanliness and some added fragrance scenting.
    The Ivy Cafe BlackheathResponded on 16 December 2024
    Hi Paul, We really appreciate the honest feedback about your recent visit. We truly value your feedback regarding the desserts and bathrooms, and we will suggest this with our team to improve further. We hope to welcome you back soon for another great visit.

    A lovely venue and the service was good but the overall value for money was absolutely not. As a group of four middle aged women enjoying an annual get together we unfortunately left the restaurant feeling totally ripped off by the cost of the bill. Extortionate!
    The Ivy Cafe BlackheathResponded on 7 December 2024
    Hi Alison, I'm really sorry to hear that your experience was disappointing, especially during such a special annual get-together. It's frustrating that you feel like the value for money didn't match the experience! We hope that it doesn't affect you coming again in the future. Have a great day.
