    We love The Ivy Brighton it’s beautiful and has a lovely atmosphere but we really didn’t feel it was good value for money this time and the menu was disappointing. No choice of good salads which both my daughter and I wanted

    Enjoyed a lovely meal with friends at the Ivy, Brighton on Tuesday for my birthday. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly, the service was fantastic, gorgeous ambience and delicious food. We had the 2 course Heritage meal which was such good value, and had a glass of complementary English sparkling wine each and a dessert with candle as it was my birthday! A fantastic celebratory meal! Thank you to all at the Ivy, Brighton x
