    From the moment you enter the Ivy the welcome service & food is outstanding, we went in as a group of 4 & the hospitality from the staff is second to none. The food came out in timely fashion with a nice gap between courses & the presentation was exceptional. Keep up the good work

    My first visit didn't go quite as planned, but the manager on duty handled it brilliantly. The steak was fantastic, and the service made the whole experience stand out. Any restaurant can have an off night, but how they handle it says everything. I'll definitely be back.

    We came to FIRE on our last night in Ireland before returning to the states. IF YOU WANT A SPECIAL NIGHT OUT, THIS IS THE RIGHT CHOICE! Everything was perfect from the relaxed pace, coming into the restaurant and an offer to sit in the lounge area by the bar for a moment to enjoy the beginning of a cocktail and then transfer up to your table. The dining room was classy and lively, service outstanding, and the pace of the evening was perfect. Food and drinks were top-notch.
