   We visited lunchtime and had the 1917 menu. One of the 3 starters was not available although not mentioned until we were ordering. Service was slow and we had to look around to find a waiter. Sea bass on the set menu was an extra charge- the fish was ok but sauce was cool and minimal samphire. Overall it was ok .

   Terrible experience, waited 15mins for our table. Food was very average had to send food back which tasted old. Dined here many times and sad to see the service and quality of food has gone downhill.

   The cocktail is a bit overpriced however the ambience is killing and amazing. The 1917 menu is reasonable but the ala carte is again over priced. The quality of cocktails they have way scope of improvement but obviously in Wimbeldon we don’t have too many good cocktail places. But they can definitely up there game and could get there cocktail prices down. Overall the service was excellent!

   We went for the set menu which was excellent value the crab and watermelon starter was delicious. Service was impeccable, friendly and didn’t feel rushed at any point. Cocktails were great I had the salted caramel martini which was amazing. Definitely recommend!

   I’ve loved The Ivy since the original, and this was my first visit to the Wimbledon Cafe. Valentines Day can be a challenge, but Ivy Wimbledon rose to it admirably with superb unobtrusive service, and wonderful food (and the lovely “gift”).

   The Ivy is a beautiful restaurant however I will not be going on Valentine’s Day again. They shoved me and my husband on a tiny table in the upstairs function room which had be utilized for additional tables where I cut myself on a tree behind me. We felt rushed and there wasn’t enough room between the tables which made for a manic feeling. Food as always phenomenal and the staff did the best they could even though we had a different waiter for each course and they all seemed very overwhelmed nd tired.

   I always enjoy dining at an Ivy but I think this is the worst one I have been to. We arrived on time for our table at 3pm, and it wasn't ready. The bar looked busy so the host asked us to wait by the door!!!! Quite a shocking 'welcome'. We did sit down a few mins later but there weren't any menus, so after about 10 mins of no service I asked for one. We sat at the front of the restaurant and there was just no atmosphere, music was very quiet and it just lacked any kind of buzz that Ivy restaurants usually have. Our waitress was very nice but not really on the ball with topping up wine or service. It just all felt a bit flat for an Ivy experience. For the cost they could have done a lot lot better.
