    Took my husband for his 60th birthday and it was a lovely experience for him. Excellent food with great choices and the wine was superb. The staff were extremely attentive and very professional at all times. Will definitely go again.

    I was expecting very good things and it didn't quite live up to the hype. A good place to eat but not exceptional.

    The Ivy formula works well and I’ve never been to a location that doesn’t deliver a solid experience. St Albans is no different - you get what you know. Good food, nice ambience and the staff at St Albans are always very nice.
