   Gorgeous as always. Been to several locations now and the Ivy never disappoints. Great food service and atmosphere. We chose the set Christmas menu and it was lovely. Highly recommend.

   There were 3 of us and we all ordered the à la carte menu. All the options were excellent. The atmosphere was phenomenal, and the waiters were always attentive. However it was extremely cold in the restaurant! Overall, Highly recommended. Excellent value for money and with good gluten-free options. Up there with the best meals I've had even thought it was really cold.

   This is the 3rd Ivy I have been to and the food actually isn’t overpriced and is fairly reasonable. However, I think they make too much effort to try and market it as fine dining when it clearly isn’t. It feels quite posh but the food doesn’t reflect this. Servers were okay although we had 4 in total and after 2 hours we were asked to vacate the table and move to the bar, which was full. Overall I’d say we felt rushed, we was asked for our food order before our drinks had arrived. Will try somewhere else next time I’m in Edinburgh.

   Beautiful restaurant and warm services by the staff. Honestly I want to give 5-star for the experience however, the sea bass was really a disappointment. It wasn’t bad, just that i expected higher standard. Generous portion for the sea bass(which i love), however, the skin was not quite as crispy as I would prefer (it looked like the chef tried but the sauce made it soggy). The mushroom sauce with spinach’s and beans(?) was not a balanced match for the dish somehow. Our party ordered 3 sea-bass and the consensus was similar. The dish wasn’t executed as good as the description. The fish and chip was tasty with the pea mash. The burger from the Kids’ menu was bigger than McDonald’s Big Mac and delicious. Came with tasty fries. Fresh mint tea turned out to be made with a dried mint tea bag. Nice cocktail menu tho. & service was great.

   As Ivy's go this one was probably not as decadent as some I have been to. Still service was good and food good. Restaurant on two levels and we were seated up stairs. Staff were all very friendly and attentive. I had duck and melon salad which is usually a starter but they were very accommodating and made this into a main dish. It was light and very tasty. Having had a rather larger than expected lunch, this was just perfect!

   This place was so relaxing that I didn’t want to leave. The food was really good; the pastries were scrumptious! The decor is beautiful. The waiter was really nice and attentive. I highly recommend this place for breakfast, but I warn you…you might want to linger!

   A overall very nice experience. Very helpful and friendly staff. Busy restaurant but seats were well spaced so didn’t feel to cramped. Very nice espresso martini. Had salt and pepper squid followed by prawn and monkfish curry - both really great. Good selection of vegan options too. Fairly expensive but overall worthwhile.

   Amazing decor! So many fun plants and works of art to look at. The fresh flowers in all the tables were a great touch. Even the bathrooms were super fun! The cocktails were wonderful. The food was amazing. The curry monk fish had wonderful flavor. Our servers was wonderful and gave great recommendations. You have to get a reservation ahead of time for this place.

   Simply phenomenal. I enjoyed an incredible meal here, experiencing some of the most thoughtful, attentive service Edinburgh has to offer. Every dish was cooked to perfection, every drink made to the highest quality. A wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, feeling high class without being intimidating. All of this carried by a team who know how to show they care. Would absolutely recommend, a genuine 5 star experience.
