Lovely atmosphere, good service and the worst tea. Looks like a tourist scam.

The main courses arrived but mine wasn't hot so sent it back.However it took so long to come back that both my husband and I were eating alone so not great.The food was good though

Camille was engaging and informative about the menu and welcomed us. Our food was hot and had a lot of flavour. Camille was attentive but not intrusive. We had a lovely evening thank you.

Always a favourite spot. I can never seem to get the app to work to book a table. I have to go to the website(no big deal). The staff is great and vibe is pleasant.

We recently visited the Oxford restaurant and were shocked how terrible the experience was.
Having previously been involved in the Oxfordshire Restaurant Awards, at the start of my career, I have always admired how good their service was but on Saturday evening we were so upset with the overall experience.
Firstly the building was really cold, which the table next to us mentioned and we did, but the staff member didn't really say anything. We understand it's an old building so wouldn't have fully complained.
Our waiter was actually quite unfriendly, and when the food came my burger was uneatable, which I said to the waiter and he just said 'oh is it' and walked off.
When he came to collect the food, he asked how it was, I hadn't eaten it and said "as I said earlier, the burger wasn't edible" which he responded Oh and just walked off again.
The bill then came and at this point my wife was feeling quite upset so we paid and went to collect our coats.
The person on coat collection asked how it was, and he asked how it was and explained the above, where he actually just laughed. Whilst I appreciate he may have felt awkward but honesty really the nail in the coffin.
As mentioned at the top 15 years ago I was involved in the Oxfordshire Restaurant awards, and real foodies and until the last year we eat out regularly. Previously we'd have put your restaurant as first on our list locally but this was without doubt the worst experience we have ever had and the first time I have left a restaurant without being able to eat my food despite a bill of £178.
I don't normally like to write a bad review, but I did voice the problems during my visit and I have since emailed the restaurant but had no response.

My Husband and I absolutely love dining here, The food is always superb and all the staff are fantastic, nothing is ever too much trouble and they make every visit a true dining experience.

You’re paying for the service and atmosphere. The decor is beautiful and the staff are incredibly attentive, but the food is frankly rubbish. If vibes matter more to you than the food then I’d definitely recommend, but otherwise not worth a visit. The pancakes were dry and eggy and no amount of greek yoghurt or raspberry coulis could save it. Also a random leaf on top that I didn’t notice completely ruined a mouthful.

The worst Ivy I’ve been to. Inexperienced, incapable staff who have no clue what is going on. We had an awful experience, we won’t be back.

Great place for a Sunday brunch after church. Loved the Sunday roast and Yorkshire pudding, steak tartare and trimmings.
It was a great time out, especially for my friend on her birthday. We will come again

Very cool place, the service is excellent! We were there for breakfast - the "vibe" is the atmosphere, the equipment is unique! If you can, come here, even just for a coffee or a dinner
Oli Green
Disappointing. The front of house staff were lovely but inexperienced. The food was not up to the standard I expect from an Ivy.
James Arvanitakis
Fantastic foodie experience with great staff and a great vibe. Everything was enjoyable. The seared scallops were perfect and the duck curry excellent! My first time at an ivy - look forward to returning.

Lovely restaurant. Food was great and the service was spot on. Ordered steak medium rare which was cooked to perfection, and the apple tart desert was lush
