Ivycollection Reviews

The food actually looked okay overall, but the plating felt a little messy, especially for the price. I expected it to look a bit more polished.

The dining room was really pretty, and there was a nice energy to the place right away. I did notice little things like how close our table was to the one next to us and how hard it was to slide my chair back without bumping into something. The buzz was fun at first, but it got loud enough that I had to lean in a lot to hear. Overall, not a bad experience at all, just not quite as relaxed and comfortable as I was hoping for

The menu had way more choices than I expected, which was a nice surprise. I went with friends and somehow everyone found something they liked, even the picky one who usually turns ordering into a full event. It’s not the most exciting place ever, but it’s definitely an easy, safe pick when you need somewhere that works for a group.

I liked these overall, and the quality seems nice. I’m just not totally sure the price feels fair for what you get. It’s one of those things where it’s good, but I keep wondering if it should’ve cost a bit less.

Pretty disappointing, to be honest. By the end, we felt like we’d been mostly ignored the whole time. The staff barely checked on us, and even simple things took asking more than once. It just wasn’t the kind of service we were hoping for

Booked this for my mum’s birthday and overall we had a really nice time. The food was lovely and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The service did get a bit slow later on, and I always feel like when that happens it can take the shine off an otherwise great meal. Still, it was a nice place for a birthday treat.

Walking in, it definitely had that big dramatic moment with all the flowers and fancy little details everywhere. It was pretty, no question, but for me it felt like the decor was trying a bit too hard to steal the spotlight. Still, the place was comfortable enough and I didn’t have a bad time at all. It just wasn’t totally my style.

Booked a table through ivycollection.com and it was mostly painless, which almost made me suspicious. The site loaded quickly, picking the date and time was straightforward, and nothing mysteriously broke right at the final step like some websites seem programmed to do. The only tiny thing was the confirmation email took me a minute to find, and for a second I wondered if it had been swallowed by the inbox algorithms. But it did come through in the end. Would use it again.

The drinks just tasted watered down to me. I don’t know, something about it didn’t really feel worth the price.

I tried to make a reservation, but there were no slots available anywhere. It felt really annoying and a bit stressful, like I had to rush or keep checking constantly just to get a chance...

The room was mostly clean, so that was nice. The bathroom corners and dusty shelves, however, seemed to be going for a more “forgotten museum exhibit” vibe. Not terrible by any means, just average overall...

Overall, it was okay, but I do think the access could be better. If you’re planning to go, I’d suggest checking the route or parking situation ahead of time so you’re not caught off guard. A little more convenience there would make the experience much smoother for everyone.

Booked dinner here the other night because we were already going to be in the area, and I mentioned my nut allergy when making the reservation. The staff actually checked it with me twice, which I really appreciated because it just made me feel a lot more comfortable eating there. The online menu could probably be a bit clearer since I did have to ask a few extra questions, but on the night they handled everything really well. I’d definitely go back.

I was kind of surprised by the vegan options here... they were good. Not a huge, overwhelming selection or anything, but enough to make me feel like I had real choices, which is always nice..

It was really easy to find an Ivy location close to where we were staying, which made things so much simpler. We didn’t have to trek across town or do loads of planning, and it was a handy spot for meeting friends after work too.

Booking online was straightforward enough, and we just picked the nearest place. The only annoying bit was that some of the communication wasn’t as clear as it could’ve been, so I did have to double-check a few things. Still, overall it was simple and low-stress, and I’d use it again...

I ordered from ivycollection and the items themselves were totally fine, no real complaints there. The delivery just took longer than I expected, and I didn’t get much in the way of updates while I was waiting. Not the worst experience, but whoever runs this really needs to make the shipping process quicker or at least keep customers in the loop better. 3 stars from me.

I booked a table online, so I was a little annoyed when we still had to wait after arriving. The staff did sort it out in the end, but it felt a bit chaotic and unorganised at the time.

I went to Ivy Collection last weekend and felt a bit pressured at first because it was busy and I always worry about holding everyone up with my gluten allergy. The waiter was really patient though and checked everything with the kitchen without making me feel like I was being difficult.

When the food came out, it was clearly marked and I actually felt relaxed eating it, which doesn’t always happen. It was such a relief not having to keep asking over and over. I’d definitely go back.

The drinks here are great... like, there are plenty of good ones to pick from, and it’s easy to find something you’ll enjoy.

Went for dinner last weekend and the portions were way bigger than I expected. Huge. I had the chicken Milanese and my friend ordered the shepherd’s pie, and both plates came out properly full, none of that tiny fancy-food situation. We shared chips too, but we probably didn’t need them. Oops. Left full and happy, so no complaints from me. The price felt fair since you actually get enough food. Would definitely go back.
