- KKarenWarwickshire •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWonderful dining experience. The decor is amazing. The food was really good and so well presented. The staff were extremely well trained and professional. The service levels was absolutely faultless. Staff were informative, friendly and so well dressed. This is what I imagined dining would have been like in such an elegant era. I have dined in many restaurants and this is by far the best experience I have had thus far. Menu choice was very good and prices good value for the quality of food and service that you get. I would highly recommend the Ivy Oxford for any special dining occasion, this ticks all the boxes.
