    Food, drink and service good. Disappointed to see in a cashless post COVID society the company skimming off 5% of tips via credit card. This from the company at the heart of a legislation change in Ireland. You’d have thought a lesson would have been learnt. There’s a difference between following the rules and being ethical. Will seriously consider any future return visit. They must be an outlier in this regard?

    The Ivy restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. The decor is gorgeous. The service was brilliant. However I was disappointed with the food portions. Very small for the price you are paying. I would go back but it would not be my first choice.

    Table was not ready for 20 minutes and had to wait at the bar but this didn’t bother us, however they were very busy on Mother’s Day and service was a little bit slow considering we have 1hr 45 mins. Great food though. Lovely atmosphere

    Very busy night got sitted quickly. Lovely food and great service. Not long waiting on food and waiters checked on us so excellent service especially Leo the waiter very friendly and waited on like 10 tables at once very efficient. Never left waiting from the time we entered the restaurant given it was a very busy night so we'll done to all staff.

    I will agree with most reviews: very cool ambiance, great for brunch, and overpriced. If you are traveling through Dublin I still recommend checking it out. The food was great but on the pricer side for value. I had a small salad that was supposed to be shared for 17 pounds. I'd recommend breakfast or brunch. They handle food allergens well but have limited options.The tea and coffee are amazing.

    Small booth tables not suitable for 7 people. Far too squashed. Very busy St Patrick’s day as expected. More than 25 min wait for a table that was booked a month ago and another 30 min wait for food.

    Great shepards pie and crème brûlée! Espresso martini to die for. Skip the baked apple tart - very pretty presentation but taste was not for me (nor temperature, would have preferred it warmer for a 14 min cook time) The most beautiful bar I’ve ever seen!

    Table was too small for our group. Female hostess was so rude when I asked her if we could move to another table. We were next to another table which the waiter had to lean behind our party to tend to! It wasn’t all the hype it’s made out to be!!

    Lovely venue, lovely service but the food and drink is only ok. You don't really go there for beautiful food. The cocktails were so sweet, I got an old fashioned and it was so sweet and watery!! The Emerld Isle was a new one for the six nations and should have been lovely but was so so sweet, great if you love your cosmos ...
