    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.

    I went for my daughters birthday, the table next to us received a birthday cake gift we did not and it seemed a bit rushed to get us off the table. Thanks.
