"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…"

Second visit and disappointed by the experience. Food not great with scallops and steak over cooked. Service mediocre.

As a resident of Plymouth, I recently visited The Ivy for the first time, and it was a wonderful experience. Everything was flawless—both the food and drinks were exceptional. The service complemented the beautiful ambiance of the restaurant perfectly. I absolutely loved it! View menu

to the time of booking, sitting at our table, beautiful angular position but table very small. the waitress was very loud, took a drink and forgot the table water. had to ask twice. the starters quickly came out, but had nibble on the table that we had to move, as it was not cleared. the mains came out quickly, and again the precursors were not removed. the food was ok. filet bark was very nice and perfectly cooked the chicken in brothcrumbs was very disappointing until my partner did not at least stay the half left. no talk about why with employees and boards without question clarified. nicer place to eat average service bad! will not go back. pity. birthday party

Six of us traveled from Britain to visit Exeter and decided to book a table at The Ivy for what we hoped would be a delightful meal. From the moment we arrived, we regretted our choice. There was no warm welcome at the reception; we were simply told to wait. Once seated, we had to ask for menus ourselves. The starters were underwhelming, and we were cold sitting by the window, despite the waiter claiming he had turned on the heating. To our surprise, eggs were served alongside our fish cakes, which was unexpected. We waited a long time for our drinks, and by the end of the meal, when we settled the £450 bill, the manager inquired if everything was satisfactory. We shared our feedback about o...
