    Me and my partner dined here last night for our anniversary. We had the christmas set menu and it was delicious, the duck salad was to die for!! Our server David, was so kind and helpful. The cocktails and wine was a little bit pricier than expected but none the less we enjoyed our meal ❤️

    Disco and terribly loud music. Had to ask twice for it to be turned down. Not even Xmas tunes!!! Too loud. I was told it was something new for Saturday nights and they couldn’t turn it down. I asked to speak to the manager and was told no. Less than favourable customer service. Wine choices far too expensive for this type of dining. Experience and food choices. I will recommend but with certain caveats.

    I brought 8 friends there to celebrate my birthday. Table booked for 8pm. We were still standing at 9. Waiter was lovely but too busy. We had to ask for main courses at 11pm. We were hungry and fed up. We had to go to the bar to get drinks. 2 of my guests had the halloumi which was so cold it was like it came out of the fridge. Another had one mouthful of her steak as it was so tough. Chicken dish was also cold. I tipped the lively waiter in cash but the night cost me over €1,000 all in and it was awful. I was actually embarrassed. I have it booked for next week as I am bringing another group but am going to cancel that and the following week again.

    We were little concerned, we were nearly finished our wine, when the waiter asked if we could move to the bar. We realised they wanted to get the table ready for the next customers. We would have been only another 10 mins, so maybe next time don't book the reservations so close to one another. Other than that everything else was wonderful.

    The best part of the night was when we were greeted by the lovely lady at the door, after that it was horrible. We booked the Ivy, as a last minute thing and decided we are going to go for some dessert and drinks. The minute we sat down and told the waiter we are having just desert and drinks, he turned around and said “you can’t have the table for long then”. The deserts were not cheap which is absolutely fine but the attitude from the waiter was horrendous. We had our desert and then he came up and said here’s your bill you need to leave. It’s seemed to me that we were judged from the minute we sat down because we weren’t willing to spend €200+ which is disgraceful! He came up with the card machine, we paid and then he then walked off.. no receipt of anything? I just think for such a high end place how can you make customers feel so low? Some staff should be retrained on basic manners and customer service. Won’t be back.

    One server and the manager were extremely rude. We were told to leave our table before we had been there for two hours because the table was needed by the next group. We still had drinks and a desert on the table when we were told to move. There was only one seat at the bar so two of us had to stand. I requested a refund for our drinks as we hadn’t started them and had now no where to sit I was told we could have another drink instead which was obviously unhelpful as we couldn’t even finish the desert or drinks we had. The manager was so rude. He didn’t care at all that we were unhappy with the service saying to us “we won’t lose any customers you are guests at the ivy”. This is the worst customer service I’ve experienced. We will definitely not be returning and I highly recommend others avoid this restaurant. Decent food but have had nicer elsewhere and very expensive for to be treated like it was a privilege to us to be there when we are paying customers not guests 🙄

    We loved our first but not last visit to your gorgeous establishment. The only criticism I have is the tables were uncomfortably close together. We had agreed that one less table I. The row would’ve have given enough space so we didn’t feel involved in our neighbours conversation. Thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance & food. Special mention to our server who was well educated and very mindful of my dietary restrictions. Thank you!

    Inattentive waiter got the food order and the coffee order wrong. Coffees arrived late. Subsequent waiting staff were apologetic and polite. I acknowledge it was busy, but that shouldn’t be an excuse for a brand experience like The Ivy. Similarly poor dining/service offerings are available throughout Dublin at lower prices o_O Would recommend, but not when busy.

    Lovely place for a meal! Unfortunately we came way too early as we were hoping to have some mimosas with our breakfast and they don’t start serving any alcohol until 10:30am which is a little odd. Otherwise the restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious but smaller portions. The server was great!

    We had a party of 8 and booking was 7 o’clock. We received our staters at 8.30. I do realise it’s Dec but with their limited Xmas menu I don’t understand it. Also the festive menu on their website page is much better than the one received on Fri night. I’ll be back but not in December.

    Our table was not ready for us when we arrived and it was impossible to get close enough to the bar to get a drink while we waited as it was so hectic and busy. Managers were giving out loudly to staff beside us while we waited which wasn’t nice to see. There was no apology given for the 15 minute delay to be seated. A table seated beside us had their order taken before us although we were seated first and we were ready to order. I had to ask twice to get someone’s attention to take our order. On the upside the food was fantastic.

    Great lunch meat and fish cooked to perfection. Slight complaint would be that the sauce for the meat was slightly too rich. Desert was delicious and the service was excellent. We frequent the venue off and on specifically for special occasions. We have yet to have a bad experience. Love going there.
