Cannot fault The Ivy. It was a pleasure to eat there. The quality of the meal was more than outstanding. It is a lovely package they present that anyone can go and eat, dressed however they like and they will be treated as royalty. 5 Star service, 5 Star food, 5 Star establishment. Thank you.A few weeks ago we ate in The Ivy, Covent Garden. That was brilliant and we could'nt think it could get better, but is has. More...

Having eaten at the Ivy in Kingston, I was delighted to discover a branch in Winchester and to discover that the same excellent vegan menu was available there. From our arrival, the staff were extremely attentive and we had an excellent waiter.I was pleasantly surprised at the good value when we received the bill!Great place, great staff and, above all, great food beautifully presented More...

In terms of quality this was very good, and not unreasonably prices (though it was frustrating that the 2-course fixed-price lunch menu wasn’t available, despite the holiday period being concluded). The portions were very generous - one might almost say too generous? - and service was efficient and friendly. My only criticism would be of the general atmosphere: it was quite noisy with more of a bar than a restaurant ‘vibe’ to it, though that’s probably got more to do with the approach of the clientele to dining rather than the venue itself.

Had brunch for my birthday with a friend, eggs were a bit overcooked, so we were given an apology and provided with free coffees, also a lovely surprise of a small dessert with a candle for my birthday. I wasn’t complaining about the eggs, but as the waitress asked if the food was ok, I mentioned they were a little overdone for my taste. The staff were lovely and immediately responded positively in a friendly and professional manner. The atmosphere in the restaurant was so lovely and relaxing, we both really enjoyed our experience and will return again. Thanks The Ivy More...

We really liked our food and the service was good, but the food was quite expensive for what it was.

We had an overall very good experience on New Years Eve.A few days before I tried to add one more person to our table, because they were so busy it was agreed we could have 1 more but would need to be in the private dinning area as the main restaurant was full I agreed. On arrival we were told good news they had managed to get us into the main restaurant we were keen to sit here because of the love music, Which was fantastic !My only complaint was the table they put us on was tucked away around the corner and was more like a coffee table than a dinning table, I then wish I had taken the table in the private dinning area! Having said this I could not fault the staff, the food or the Entertainment another enjoyable night at the Ivy.I cannot wait to return to have the experience again. More...

Confirmed the booking, as requested, tried to make contact to ensure we had a nice table, but was unsuccessful! On arrival, asked for a nice table and was informed that it was! !! The table in the middle of Restaurant and very, very close to two other tables. If I had been able to speak to someone before the day, which I was unable to do, this could have been avoided and hopefully we could have had a table by the window or to the side. Didn’t want to make a fuss on the day, as we were with friends. More...

A very nice evening for my son's 21st, but not something I will repeat often due to the price, especially the drinks. Good to see a range of beers and not just mass-produced lager.

We visited for lunch on the Saturday before Christmas to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary and our experience was fantastic from start to finish! I was a little concerned after reading some of the recent reviews, but we were made to feel extremely welcome, not once reminded of the 2 hour time limit on our table, all of our food was served in a timely manner and was absolutely perfect! To top it off, we were sent an anniversary treat compliments of the kitchen, which was certainly a nice touch.Highlights were starters (Atlantic scallops and crispy duck salad), although everything was cooked exceptionally well.Would certainly recommend this restaurant and will be returning soon!
