    There were mixed reviews but it was a lovely dinner experience for us. It was 15mins wait at the bar. The food, service and ambiance was great. We got the cute birthday plate that was requested. It was pricey but worth it.

    The question...how Coeliac are you?.... demonstrates that there is a huge gap in the understanding that Coeliac Disease is an autoimmune disease and not an allergy/fad.....you either have Coeliac disease or not, there are no levels! Consuming gluten for a Coeliac person can cause very serious consequences both short term and long term (cancer, infertility to name but a few). I understand that a restaurant like IVY has limitations and cannot provide a differently prepped meal for everyone. However, if you claim to understand food intolerances etc., please train yourselves and your staff accordingly. In Italy, for example, you might be asked, are you Coeliac or are you allergic to gluten. The difference here is the impact of cross contamination on those who are Coeliac by comparison to those who are allergic. There is good material available from Coeliac Association of Ireland.........you are welcome!

    Had a fabulous Xmas lunch with my husband on Thursday 7th. Lovely atmosphere, definitely full of Christmas spirit. We had two very attentive waiters looking after us, don't remember the names, but looked after us really well,. Would definitely be back, yes more expensive than your average lunch but you are in Dublin and its a one off. Will definitely be back, keep up the good work Team Ivy

    I'm extremely disappointed with my recent dining experience at your restaurant. We ordered the burrata from the set menu, but were served a tasteless mozzarella instead. It was evident that they had run out of burrata as only one guest received it, while the rest of us got mozzarella. Initially, the staff denied the mistake, but only after insisting did they acknowledge the error. Considering we were a table of 11, the compensation offered was inadequate. We were given a 50 euros discount (equivalent to 4 euros per person) and the service charge was waived. This is particularly disheartening because the error was not on the part of the waitstaff but rather the chef. This experience has left a lasting negative impression, and I am hesitant to return in the future.

    Business breakfast booked for 4 but changed to 5 when we arrived although the restaurant was busy, this was no problem. All staff were incredibly polite and professional, we were actually served by Ivy in fact who was very friendly and polite. Great spot for brekkie with a lovely atmosphere and lots of choice on the menu. The pancakes which were ordered by 3 of our party were fine, I do think additional berries and maple syrup, cream cheese would be a welcomed addition. We will certainly be back

    While we were a party of 3 we had a table that was very squashed and would have been more suitable for 2 people. The people at the table beside us were on top of us and it was difficult to have a conversation in private. They were two lovely people and from chatting to them they felt the same way. The service was slow…starters came pretty quick but then we waited for some time for our main dishes. It was very busy and had nice atmosphere but overall was just uncomfortable.
