"Afternoon tea was not the best experience. We were kept waiting at the door for about 10 minutes for some unexplained reason for a start, although we had a booking. Tea consisted of 3 sandwiches, two of them tiny, a cupcake, 2 scones (why 2, I don 't know), a tiny pot of chocolate something, a square inch of fruit cake, tiny smoothie and a hot drink, for £29.95. Champagne was £10 extra. There was a question on the booking form about dietary requirements, so I noted that I was vegetarian, but I was told at the table that there 's no vegetarian option! Why ask then?? I therefore could only eat one of sandwiches, which were all on spongy mass produced bread . Everything came to the table at the same time, including the coffee and tea which was luke warm on arrival, so we had champagne, a smoothie and hot drink all together. Also, a substantial service charge is added to the bill, so for three people it was over £123!! Appalling price for minute, low quality food!"

I had to send my food back because it wasn't good enough. I won't be returning to this restaurant.

The atmosphere was delightful, and the food was fantastic. It was a wonderful way to celebrate my daughter's birthday with a brunch. The staff were all lovely as well!

Tables well spaced to provide privacy but still be part of the restaurant atmosphere. Good menu and very good quality food. Staff were engaging and helpful. Would certainly go again.

Wonderful meal, atmosphere and service (couldn't be faulted). First time seated at the bar really enjoyed being in mix of things and watching the cocktails being made. A great eating experience! View menu

This is 5th visit over the last year or so since my return to UK travel. Each time I'm in Cardiff I choose the Ivy as a dependable location for excellent food/wine, service and value for money. I would not consider anywhere else when I'm next in Cardiff when you find a good place, why gamble? Please keep up the good work. Hopefully, see you soon. Diolch, Mog.

We booked the Ivy for my daughter’s 21st birthday treat as we wanted to treat her to a magical experience. She was blown away with the surroundings and the ambience. The staff made her feel very special and even provided a desert with a candle in it for her birthday. Being a vegetarian, my daughter had plenty to choose from the menu and was not disappointed with her choice of Halloumi for main course. It felt very special for her, which is what we wanted her to experience. Thank you to all the staff who were very friendly and helpful and made my daughter’s evening very special.
