   Lovely meal, service very good. Only negative was that we ordered the small chocolate truffles to have with our coffee and they never appeared. Coffee finished, ….. too late so didn’t say anything.

   Great atmosphere. Food good but service was not as good as normal. All our sides didn’t come together. Some came after we had finished despite asking where they were and that no point bringing them if we were finished. Also desert did not come up to expectations.

   Food was nice, however portions are small and many of the main dishes do not come with sides. My son fell asleep as serine was quite slow, then out of all the meals his was forgotten therefore by the time it did arrive, he barely eat food that I paid for.

   I mentioned we were there celebrating my friends engagement to the front of house staff as she seated us at table and she organised a lovely desert plate as a surprise which was really thoughtful and above and beyond service. Gorgeous meal as usual in a beautiful surrounding.

   We enjoyed a very nice dinner at the Ivy. The service was excellent, the waitress gave an honest recommendation & we were very impressed with the value for money. They surprised my friend with a special birthday dessert & we left very happy. Will definitely be back.

   Everything was lovely,but the music was so loud , I couldn't hear what my husband was saying. It's so unnecessary to have the music ramped up that high . Not very relaxing

    This was for my friends birthday. The waiter was extremely tentative making sure the allergies be friend has were met. There was no rush for us to leave. The only negative was when there was a change of waiter we waited 20 minutes for the bill.

    Beautiful restaurant but very noisy. Waited 55 minutes for our starter of Luke warm soup, tasted beautiful but only warm/cold. Main was ok, nothing special and same for the dessert. I don’t think I will be rushing back.

    Perfect lunch. Perfect service and staff made a fuss of my son who had just attended Hollyrood palace to receive his Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. All asked him what we were celebrating. Friendly attentive staff (as always). A lovely lunch. Thank you x

    We had a wonderful celebration at The Ivy. The food was outstanding and we were pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian/vegan menu. There was lots to choose from not your token one thing on the menu that is the usual for most restaurants. So that was greatly appreciated. The wine was to die for, the decor was luxurious and Laurie who waited on us was the icing on the cake. She was remarkable, so friendly and interesting and definitely made our time at The Ivy more special. Thank you Laurie you made our day. We would both thoroughly recommend The Ivy Edinburgh.

    Excellent value, had 3 course set menu which was absolutely delicious! Our waitress (Loiise?) was so helpful, took time to chat even though clearly busy. She made an excellent meal even more memorable! Definitely will be back on next trip to Edinburgh and will be recommending as brilliant place to eat in Edinburgh!

    First time at The Ivy. The reception was very welcoming and friendly. I would have score the food as excellent except I found the side of broccoli whilst not over cooked was slightly under cooked in that it was difficult to cut. However I have to highly recommend the deserts. The chocolate bomb with the hot caramel sauce was amazing as was the crème brûlée. All in all I really fabulous experience and I look forward to returning.

    Excellent and very enjoyable experience. They noted it was my Mum’s (delayed) birthday trip. Asked if she had enjoyed the show. Set aside quieter table for us as requested. Excellent unobtrusive service, delicious food and a small surprise dessert with candle for Mum. Very thoughtful and kind. BWell done to everyone at The Ivy. You have managed to maintain your excellent standards. Mum (and I) loved it.

    My favourite restaurant , however on this occasion one of my guests had to ask for her meal to be reheated as it was cold when it arrived . Service was much slower than usual too . Our meal did not arrive till 40 mins after we ordered . This will not put me off however as usually it is excellent.
