"My friend booked here for afternoon tea for 4 people and received confirmation. Upon arriving at 1 p.m on a Saturday afternoon the place was empty which was very surprising given that other nearby venues were crowded, they also didn't seem aware that we had booked for afternoon tea either. Alarms bells started to ring when the waitress asked for our drinks order my friend asked what type of teas there were, to which the reply was PG Tips and then she advised that she would see what the chef could put together. It got worse from there when the afternoon tea selection came out. Cheese and onion and some unidentifiable meat sandwiches, slices of quiche and a small selection of macarons,tiny doughnuts, scones and profiteroles minus the chocolate. It looked very unappealing so we decided that we didn't want to contemplate eating this and there was no way we were going to pay for this either. We decided to leave after speaking to the staff who in all honesty were very apologetic and said that we didn't have to pay for our teas and coffees even though we offered to pay for them. They even said we could still stay and eat what they'd brought out and we wouldn't have to pay but we politely refused. Please be very aware that the menu advertised on the website is NOT what we were served. How this place is still in business is beyond me.....just don't even bother going here."

"if they think of iconic institutions in london, the ivy is second to none; periode. embedded in a quiet corner of the covent garden, it serves and delights londons westward since 1916. Exactly, 1916! to put this in perspective, since the call of the service on its first teller, Great Britain has seen 4 monarchs, 23 minister presidents and the top film was 20,000 ligas under the sea '. It is certainly the case that each court is served with a side of the story and to enter into its stolen dining room is like a step back in the time that is just stunning. modernizes but still keep all the classic decoration accumulated over the decades; and the menu has also followed suit. in the connection to the footsteps of so many before us, we visited the ivy in this night for a late dinner after the conclusion of a show that starts for a meal with popcorn shrimp then on the nets of spaghetti with atlantic prawns, chili and wild garlic and the grilled thunfish. as they would expect, eating was divine and lived up to his call. the popcorn garnels were so addicted, I could have eaten again and again that all night, although it would have been a scandal to pamper my appetit in front of the tuna that was excellent. the spaghetti, as simple as it sounds, was romantic in its simpleness and so fragrant; I'd like to eat it again. to round the food was a classic dessert from apfelteertetin; a befitting ended with a classic evening. if you were with the ivy, I hope you agree with me that this place must be one. it is now an institution and so much more than a meal; it's an experience."
