Very average breakfast in upmarket surrounds.
Date of visit: 24 February, 11am.
The Ivy exudes class and quality, but not today with the breakfast.
It was very average. Poached eggs had hard yolks. The rest (mushroom, hash brown, tomato) tasted like it had been sitting around warm for hours like at a hotel buffet.
If a kitchen can’t even do something as basic as poached eggs properly, it makes me wonder about the quality of all the food.
Total cost was £27, with orange juice, and tea.
And I’m pretty sure the orange juice wasn’t freshly squeezed, and actually tasted like concentrate (not even like a purchased carton of freshly squeezed OJ).
Safe to say I won’t be back for breakfast again.

Went for birthday celebration. Told them when reservation was made, told the hostess when we arrived. The service falls short of what we have experienced in London. The manager said they didn’t know there was a celebration and she was not told. The hostess did in fact convey to the server but the ball was dropped and they did nothing to recover - not even and apology.

The Ivy Leeds offers a good dining experience with a delightful blend of great ambiance and fantastic food. The rib-eye on the bone was cooked to perfection, boasting a rich, tender flavor that truly stood out. Paired with the truffle and parmesan chips, which were crispy, indulgent, and packed with flavor, it was a memorable dish. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant and sophisticated, with a welcoming atmosphere that made the meal even more enjoyable. To top it all off, the service was attentive and friendly, ensuring a seamless dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch meal! It was a pricey meal as you have to buy sides separately and the drinks could have been slightly better for the price but that would be my only criticisms.

We went for an afternoon tea, for my hen party. To be quite honest, it really was disappointing. We checked if they could do certain dietary needs, and they said it was OK. My friend that booked it sent 2 emails confirming it, then was called 3 separate times from members of staff. When we got there, we were basically told by an over-zealous manager that my friend who is gluten & lactose intolerant, not allergic, wouldn't be able to eat. As they treat intolerance as it were an allergy. The guy came to the table 3 times and was quite aggressive with my friend. He only took stock of his attitude when another friend told him to stop, as he was ruinening our day. They eventually said they would knock something up. But we waited 70 mins to be served, so we were rushed to eat and to be quite honest it wasn't a very nice experience. The manager that took over was very nice. She tried to do her best to make the best of a truly bad afternoon. She provided us with a bottle of complimentary champagne, but I was so disappointed.

We had an unforgettable Valentine’s evening at The Ivy, indulging in their special Dare Dinner experience. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and elegant, setting the perfect mood for a romantic night. The menu was thoughtfully curated, offering a delightful mix of flavors, each dish beautifully presented and full of creativity. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every detail was just right. Whether it was the exquisite food, the intimate setting, or the overall experience, The Ivy made Valentine’s truly special. Highly recommended for a memorable date night!

What a huge disappointment! From start to finish. We visited at the weekend for the first time, for my birthday. First thing that I didn't appreciate was when have a conversation with my husband, the waiter joined in! Which I found rude. Then are wine came to the table, a small amount was poured in each glass then taken away to a communal ice bucket and the waiter was just topping us up randomly, to which we went and got the bottle and brought it to the table. Which the waiter clearly didn't like. Then the food came, we both had the squid, nearly £14 each for 6 very rubbery pieces of squid (the dip was nice). Then came the mains, the sauce to my chicken was massively under seasoned, but over all edible. But my husbands burger had to be returned due to the bun been black, he only has one bite and all he could taste was burntness. He complained about the burger and sent it back. By the time it came back out I had finished my food, so we didn't even eat together, and the apology for the poor quality was just as poor. We did have dessert which was the best course of the meal. When the bill came, there was no compensation for the inconvenience of sending the burger back and they still had the cheeky to put a service charge on also, which we refused to pay. All in all we paid £125, to have my birthday spoilt completely, by poor quality and poor customer service.

The Ivy Leeds today,
Called in to ask about my serious garlic allergy, and was met at reception by the lovely Fay,.
We were able to be seated at table 53 and review the menu with the equally and lovely and efficient Kam.
Super food, ambience and amazing service, we will be coming again.
Thank you, Joy Froggatt.

Came here with my family to celebrate my 70th birthday. Expecting a first class meal and service. The meals we eventually got were nice the service was non existent. No sides were brought to the table as the waitress forgot to order them so some mains had to go back and be made again as having waited so long for the sides to arrive they went cold . My niece in the end was brought 3 steaks as they kept bringing her the wrong order. When the correct steak arrived it was extremely rare , she had ordered medium. She ate it under sufference as by this time she was past caring.The waitress was rude , we had to ask her 4 times to refill our drinks order! After much frustration we called the Manager over who was really nice and apologetic and rectified everything and also adjusted the bill and we weren't charged for any sides and given a couple of bottles of wine on the house. It was upsetting as many of my family hadn't been before and were very disappointed and will not return. I however know how great the service at the Ivy can be so on this occasion felt very let down by incompetent waiting staff.

This was my first trip to the Ivy. 2 of us had the Christmas 3 course menu. It was pretty average. I had higher expectations of this high profile establishment. The squid tempura starter was the best bit. The steak main was not great and the Christmas pudding was dry. There was some theatre with setting light to it and our waitress was lovely. They let us linger and atmosphere was good. They also let us move tables as we didn't like our first table.

Loved the food and atmosphere here. Our waitress was really nice as well.
I enjoyed the venison tartar and the steak with peppercorn sauce and fries.
