    The service we received from our waitress Lucy today was outstanding. We are a family of 4 who enjoyed a lovely pre Christmas lunch today. Lucy was friendly and professional and went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our time. A huge thank you to her. We will be back.

    The restaurant was busy on Saturday night in the lead-up to Christmas, but it was easy to find. A little noisy, which was fully expected. Despite her hectic schedule, our restaurant attendant Anastasia was attentive and considerate of my dairy intolerance. The starters and main courses were delicious; however, I thought the dessert selection was limited for those who avoid dairy. We would be happy to return, as we had a wonderful experience.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded 3 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that you had a wonderful experience with us and that Anastasia made you feel well looked after. We'll be sure to share your kind words with her—she'll be thrilled to know her attentiveness stood out. We're pleased you enjoyed your starters and mains, though we're sorry to hear the dessert selection didn't fully meet your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll review our options to better cater to guests with dietary preferences. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable evening. Wishing you a very merry Christmas!

    Quite uninspiring food, found it difficult to find something I actually wanted to eat. Thought the Goose, Turkey and Duck Shepherd’s Pie sounded interesting, except it contained non of the above, just beef and lamb...so why call it that??? Food wasn't too bad, just extremely average.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded 5 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you found our menu uninspiring and the Goose, Turkey, and Duck Shepherd’s Pie disappointing. I’d like to clarify that the dish does include all five meats—goose, turkey, duck, beef, and lamb—as listed. However, I’ll share your comments with our kitchen team to review the proportions to ensure the flavours are well-balanced. We strive to offer a diverse menu to suit all tastes, and your thoughts will be considered as we refine our dishes. I hope you’ll consider visiting us again.
