"Won’t be back in a hurry… we waited 45 minutes for our first drinks order even though other larger tables around us ordered after and received theirs long before ours. The appetisers and starters were dumped on our table without explanation of which sauces went with what and the closh from one starter was left on the plate with no room to discard. The side dish (simple steamed broccoli) was delayed on a considerably overcooked fish main (turbot) and was delivered 20 mins later, only after the dish was almost finished. To add to this, when we enquired about a fish fork for the ‘on the bone’ turbot, the waiter did not know what one was… after asking around it appears as though ‘the Ivy’ don’t even have them. Some of the food was delicious (especially the venison tartare and the Keralan duck curry) so it wasn’t without merit, but the terrible service means we’ll be going elsewhere unless things change. Unfortunately, looking at other tables around us the same feeling may be commonplace…"

We were attended to by a lovely young woman with blonde hair who was friendly and attentive. Nothing seemed too much trouble for her, and she frequently checked in to ensure we were enjoying our experience. View menu

I went to celebrate my birthday, and at every birthday meal I've had in Cardiff, they've always included a small cake and candle for the birthday guest, which is such a nice gesture. Unfortunately, this didn’t happen in Exeter, but I still had a wonderful evening overall.

Food good Service dreadful had to ask for our drinks to be topped up twice, with drinks arriving after our main course had been eaten the second time. Starters arriving after main course had arrived Staff so desperate to finish our coffee arrived before desert. If the Ivy don’t want clients eating at 8.30 because their staff are tired then make the last seating 8pm. I have been to the Ivy many times and this was the worst experience by far. Staff fully focused on preparing for next days meals rather than on clients.
