Black Sheep Coffee - Windsor in Windsor and Maidenhead

Just had the 2 couse special offer. Chicken skewers and shepherd's pie. Both really nice food. Good portion for price. Highly recommend Staff really pleasant and nothings too much trouble.

Service never really recovered after Covid at any of the Ivy restaurants but the food and comfort of being somewhere familiar is still well worth coming back.

The food is so poor for this price level and this kind of place. Design is funky and the vibe is ok, good location for Windsor I guess, but the food is really really poor, really bad. You pay 40 pounds for a rib eye steak and you’re eating a lame piece of rubber with no taste.

Beautiful restaurant, loved the decor, staff very nice and competent. We had the full afternoon tea with great scones, good cupcake and decent sandwiches. BUT a disappointingly soggy chou bun and a completely stale Madeleine, so stale it was crunchy. I was there with my mum and didn't want to make a fuss but that wasn't good enough for the £35 per person.

Had a lovely family dinner on Saturday evening. Menu choice was good and food quality excellent. I had the shepherds pie each was lovely, others had fish and chicken. Portions were just right. Desserts were really lovely. It was a busy night atmosphere buzzing with all tables full and everyone seemed to be having a great evening enjoying the autumnal feeling. Quite a few birthdays being celebrated. Lovely decor and I love the comfortable bar area to either wait for a table or just sit and enjoy a drink and snacks which some people were doing.

The Ivy Windsor is such a stunning conservatory atmosphere restaurant and bar. It is filled with the Color of Love. I had a very nice dinner here and was well cared for by the staff. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and filling. In my observation, this seems to be the quintessential place in Windsor for Afternoon Tea, intimate conversations, and quality dining. Plus, the who's who seem to frequent here, so you never who you maybe sitting near. Thank You for whisking me away into a garden setting to temper the, so anxious, feeling for, what must I say what must I do, since I, can't let go. Today, blowing in the wind home.

Very pleased with the food quality, very tasty Service was also brilliant Thank you

I loved the music in the background. Lovely view. Amazing staff, very presentable. Ambient was really pleasant and cosy.

Came in over an hour before closing and was sent away. Ridiculous. Place smelled funky too.

Katya and Tomasz, thanks for your service and being great greeter and waiter... Ser you soon, Ali and Simon Robson

Very charming and comfortable bar in Windsor.

Nice decor, nice food, nice people. We left an item behind and they called us and helped us get it back.

Not the best experience sadly but I think it could be amazing

Lovely bottle of house champagne to celebrate birthday with friends. Only gripe slow service.

Excellent quality food. I have some unusual food allergies, and they took great care with making sure that the food was safe for me to eat.

Excellent service felt like royalty Amazing food

I had an exceptional dining experience at The Ivy in Windsor! The fish and chips were hands down the best I’ve ever had—perfectly crispy and fresh, with a light batter that didn’t overpower the fish. The shepherd’s pie was outstanding as well, hearty and rich with beautifully seasoned meat and a creamy potato topping. The ambiance was simply amazing, offering a stylish yet comfortable setting that made the meal even more enjoyable. Service was quick and efficient, without feeling rushed. Definitely recommend making a reservation as it’s a popular spot. A must-visit!

What a wonderful place, restaurant and lounge in a beautiful setting. The staff are wonderful and definitely make you feel at home. The Ivy is a place you must go.

In terms of Japanese yen, it's an outrageous price range. Putting money aside, they provided me with peace of mind and a delicious meal even though I'm a non-speaker. Thank you for the meal. Everyone please come in safely♪

Really disappointing! This was my first visit to the Ivy, I went with a friend for brunch. I walked in and thought “Wow! What a beautiful place…” however, from then on it was disappointing… The food was fine, but I was not wowed by it and it was very expensive for what it was. But the most disappointing part of the visit was the service. We had been at our table for less than 20 minutes and had only just received our drinks, when the waiter came over and asked if we had decided on our food (for the third time) and we asked him for a few more minutes. He then told us that we were on a time limit and we couldn’t have the table all day, so we needed to order there and then. I completely understand that we can’t have the table all day, and we certainly didn’t expect to… but we instantly felt like we were being rushed and they just wanted us “in and out again asap” we hadn’t even been in the restaurant for 20 minutes at this point… When my friend finished her food, the same waiter came over and took her bowl away and then attempted to pick mine up too… while I was still eating. He did apologise, but this was just another thing that made us feel that they couldn’t wait for us to leave. It ended up being a very quick, and very expensive brunch… and that was definitely not what we were looking for. I wouldn’t return to The Ivy, my experience was that it is over priced and the service was below average.

Very good service and food comfy seats lovley decor

Onion soup tepid, over-sweet with soggy sludge floating on top. Burger barely warm and rubbery. Service and ambience good.

Fabulous meal with outstanding service. Highly recommended. We are local and this will be our go to venue for celebrating. Our second visit and everything was even better, just outstanding. We love this place.

Thank you to Sasha for her attention to detail and for a birthday dessert treat !

Brilliant experience for my step mothers 80th birthday. Food was delicious and the staff were really friendly, definitely went above and beyond. Top job, well done 👏👏👏👏

Had a wonderful anniversary meal here last night. Not somewhere we've been to previously and very glad we did. The place overall is delightful, well designed and has a very opulent feel that's almost a trip back in time. It was busy and the atmosphere was good, I would say it's quite cosy. The staff are all very polite and attentive, hard to find any complaints here, service was great all round. Food was also very good, tbh I felt stuffed but still managed to find room for some desert and tea. Wish I hadn't but it was really good. A great evening with good food and service.

This is a top notch establishment in every way. Nothing less than 5 stars. The quality of food is excellent, with dishes cooked to perfection. Courteously served by professional friendly staff with a smile. The ambiance and exceptional interior design is first class, a high end dining experience in every way, a perfect choice for festive occasions, truly enjoyable from beginning to end. Arguably the best restaurant in Windsor, and highly recommended to visit. Certainly a venue to return to in the future.

A bit noisy, but lovely setting and lovely food.

Enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea. Lovely staff as well. Bit dissapointed when we saw a service charge (£9,99) added to the bill, which we hadn’t been informed about beforehand. Otherwise great visit to The Ivy, will visit again when in the neighbourhood.

Visited here a few times, the staff are absolutely brilliant, the food and service is first class, definitely the best chain restaurant around.

Great brunch on the August Bank hols. Full English, great black pudding. A sneaky mimosa on the side. The eggs benedict with ham hock was also delicious.

Worst experience ever with most racial behaviour, going to email the GM, not going back in here

Faultless food and service; despite busy night (with great atmosphere) the team delivered the best; all six of us only had good things to say about the amazing staff and simply superb food; well done The Ivy!

Love this place. Been so many times and always consistent. Food and menu is great, atmosphere is perfect, staff and really polite and accommodating. I wish all restaurants had this standard of service. Will definitely be back.

Lenny and Martha were amazing!! Lenny served us and really had such an upbeat caring energy to her! Martha helped deal with the chicken milinaise (chicken being pink) explaining why it is pink and that the chicken is temp checked. Also related to her as a fellow emetaphobia girlie and gave amazing suggestions that would help my anxiety when eating out. Couldnt have asked for a better experience and the food was lovely.

I have been traveling for 10 days and it is rare to be able to eat delicious food in the UK⋯⋯😅😅

Wonderful place with delicious food. great atmosphere and service. I highly recommended.

Wonderfully prepared food with beautiful decor and attentive service. The lunch prices are a good deal.

Nice place that feels like michelin place without the price 2 course for $20 pounds is quite worth it The tomato soup is abit too sour for our liking The roasted lamp rumb was not bad but it’s very tough to chew. The berry and hazelnut sundae is a must order. Very rich in flavor and very nice.

We have now visited two of the Ivy chain restaurants. Non of them disappointed. The staff, good, decor, service, food were all A1. I highly recommend. We went to the Windsor one last night with 10 other people to Celebrate his birthday. Great welcoming team, attention to deal, no mistakes, awesome.

Nice Ivy in Windsor. Food was delicious and came out quickly. Definitely get the truffle arancini. For birthdays they also give a free small desert, which is very nice. Clean washrooms!

Well done The Ivy at Windsor - food good, service superb. Lenny was just brilliant, nothing a problem, always making sure we had drinks etc, clearing courses beautifully in a way hardly anyone does these days - a credit to the restaurant, really,really good - she made the night special. Reccomended for a good meal in Windsor.

Very nice restaurant. The only thing is steak and portions could have been a little bigger. Very tasty but smaler than I used to it.. The desert was great (in the photo)!

Honestly could not say enough about how amazing our dinner was from start to finish. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and the table was perfect. Thank you for helping make our Wedding Anniversary so special :-)

A horrible experience. Not recomended, I would never enter again. The espresso cost 2 and a half pounds, it was a diminute cup and it was not even full. I asked for them to fill it more and they rejected it. They said filling totally the whole cup (which I emphasize, it was the smaller cup I’ve seen in my life) costed one pound more. In conclusion not recommended for anyone, don’t enter there, it was a total scam.

Ivy is definitely one of our favorite British restaurants in UK, totally changed the way I thought about British food, in a fantastic way. The food is simply amazing, and window seats have great view of the castle.

All staff are amazing, great customer service with a smile. The beef Sunday roast was perfectly cooked with beef exactly how we like it. Huge thank you for my mum’s birthday treat at the end, it added that special touch to our visit ❤️

Had afternoon tea with friends, great tea, cakes and sandwiches. Reception is helpful and arranged waiter to improve the stability of the table

very atmospheric and beautiful place, delicious food 😍

Awful, we were very disappointed as we were entertaining guests from overseas. Wrote to the manager in some detail expressing our views and no response.

Greeted and made me feel welcome. Our waiter was amazing, very attentive. Didn't feel like we was being rushed. Food amazing, definitely a place to visit for a special occasion. Will definitely try the lunch menu on next visit. Cocktails fab, and prices not too expensive.

Service was great my end, but the experience was mediocre for the price. My sister also did not get her food for a good hour

As usual, service and food were great. We had the fish cake and burger options and both were lovely. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Absolutely love this Ivy!! The most wonderful GM James can always be spotted floating about making sure everything is just so. He leads with great warmth and is so welcoming as are his superb team of staff! Thank you Rory,Lenny, Charlie for making our AWBS ladies lunch so special!

Absolutely superb professional service.

Fishcake was amazing, beautiful decor.

Decided to stop at the Ivy for breakfast while on a visit to Windsor. Beautiful setting, service very attentive but the food was only adequate. I would not expect such an establishment to service pastries that had simply been taken out of a freezer and warmed up, very disappointing.

Had a good evening. Good service and good food and value.

The environment, the food, the service was perfect👍👍👍

Excellent food beautiful restaurant with great service

Stepping into The Ivy in Windsor is always a treat, especially when you're in the mood for a fantastic steak in a bustling atmosphere. Despite the crowds, the reception is always welcoming with a friendly smile. We opted to sit at the bar, and it didn’t disappoint— the bartender was the epitome of politeness and professionalism. Whether it's for the food or the service, The Ivy is a prime spot to dine in style. Highly recommend!"

Went yesterday for a post-lunch business meeting. Nice venue. Service was very poor. No side plates for the apetisers - we patiently waited only for starters to then be brought over. Took un-eaten apetisers away (?). Waiter departed half way through our meal (shift change) and had to keep waving over someone else when trying to gracefully pay our bill with customers needing to depart which was a bit embarrasing. Didnt feel like anyone was really paying attention and could see staff meandering (just make eye contact with your diners every so often). Real basic 101 errors such as overpoured the wine we ordered, so there wasnt enough to fill all glasses. Annoying as then was rail-roaded to purchase another bottle of wine, some of our table were driving, so only wanted a very small glass - and then we had unfinished wine on the table - all because the server poured massive measures. Just need a bit of education on wine etiquette basics. Maitre De on the door was gassing with his mate as we left - had to provoke a "thanks and goodbye" to disturb his conversation (not a primadona - but you'd at least expect acknowledgement of your existence after spending ~£2000 between 8 - maybe?)🤷‍♂️ As always, the bar/environment and design of the Ivy was fantasic, just let down by the lacklustre service and attention to detail.

Very lovely experience with delicious food and great service. Ambient is really pretty and comfy as well. Easy to find or accommodate for gluten free and dairy free options.

Excellent lunch time meal, served by a very professional and friendly young lady. Lovely food, and atmosphere.

I went with my wife and daughter while we were visiting Windsor - they wanted afternoon tea, so I tagged along. The atmosphere, service and presentation were great. I'm not a tea drinker, but they were willing to substitute hot chocolate for it, which I did. I thought it was a bit expensive for what we got , but then everything else in England was as well. As for portion sizes, I could have eaten the service for two on my own and not overeaten, but from what I understand, afternoon tea is not meant to be a meal.

Had a great time here, both food and staff were great. Can only recommend it…

Loved The Ivy, the food and service were both exceptional. Accross the road from Windsor Castle

Had the pleasure of eating at The Ivy in Windsor during a trip to Windsor Castle. Great service was provided by Thomas. Food was excellent. Service was great. Overall experience was perfect.

Last night, we visited the Ivy Windsor to celebrate our anniversary, we had a table booked for 6.30pm but our experience left much to be desired. Despite having a reservation( booked 2 months prior ) , we felt rushed throughout our meal. Just 5 minutes after sitting down, three different staff members approached us, indicating that our table was needed for other guests at 8 PM. Another lady came again at 7.30pm whilst we were still finishing off our drinks and told us again that the table was needed. This constant pressure significantly detracted from our enjoyment of what should have been a relaxed and special evening. Such behavior was incredibly rude and disappointing. To make matters worse, there was a large party of 16 or more guests nearby, making so much noise that we couldn't even have a decent conversation. Despite the noisy environment, we were the ones constantly harassed by the staff to vacate our table. The food was not great either, the rib eye steak was very stewy . A special occasion deserves better treatment, I will never go back

Had dinner last night. To say it was out standing is an understatement. Will be back. Food, atmosphere, ambience, was memorable. The view from our table was spectacular.❤️

Great place took my daughter in law there and had a amazing time the waiter was so friendly

We went to The Ivy restaurant Windsor today, the service was rather atrocious. Food was ok, not the best. Highly insufficient service.

Had a great breakfast here before visiting Windsor Castle. Beautiful surroundings.

Wanted to go for a cream tea but noticed on the menu they only serve fruit scones. I called up and spoke to a lovely lady on the phone who said they could order in plain scones for me, I booked over 2 weeks in advance. Went today and after we sat down I mentioned to the waiter about plain scones, he told me they have none and that I should speak to head office if I wish to complain….I explained that I phoned up in advance as this was a special occasion, again he told us there was nothing he could do. This was such a disappointment for as had been wanting to visit here for a long time. No communication to say there would be an issue with plain scones….unfortunately I won’t return as it ruined our experience.

The staff is really nice, the food is reasonably priced, with discounts every so often. A nice atmosphere to revise. This is my go to place.

I had such a lovely time at The Ivy Windsor. The customer service was impeccable - I wish the staff wore name tags so I could give them a shout-out. I had fish and chips and my friend had fish cake, a poached egg and chips (we love chips) really yummy. We had mocktails, which again, were really great. We had the caramel bomb for dessert (not pictured) which I didn't love. It was very sweet and the cream was quite runny. Despite this, I would definitely go again.

Perfect place for a stopover after or before visiting Widshore Castle. Fantastic atmosphere and decor. Perfect sweets in appearance and taste. The employees are a bit snobbish, but that's probably part of the concept, as are the stingy prices. 4 people with 4 drinks (coffee and tea) and 4 sweets, approx £60 (April 2024)

never had a bad time at the ivy, and this was no different! the service was impeccable and the food was amazing. we went for a birthday, which the staff were so tentative about, and provided a lovely dessert with a candle! a buzzy atmosphere to end our day visiting one of the most beautiful areas in england, and the prices are extremely reasonable, considering the high quality food and service

Had a lovely afternoon tea with endless tea.

What an experience, the food and drinks were delicious, half-cooked steak with puree and broccoli, something extraordinary. The BOMB dessert was a delight. And Thomas's attention was great. Very satisfied

Beautiful birthday meal for my partner with a surprise birthday dessert!

We had a great time with great food and amazing atmosphere

Wish I'd taken photos- I keep forgetting! Booking was easy, maître d was very polite and welcoming. High chair was already set for us which made things easy, they read our booking notes. There wasn't a children's menu for breakfast, but the waiter/chef were every so kind in adapting the breakfast pancakes for our little one, it was so simple and easy, they just got it! Food was very lovely, service was brilliant, fantastic location and the decor inside the restaurant was stunning, definitely recommend.

loved it super food and service highly recommend

Great place to dine out in Windsor. Food is fantastic and service very attentive. Can highly recommend it !

Great place to wind down near the castle. Walking distance from the train. Sam made an excellent coffee! Highly recommended :)

Excellent service, great value and delicious food. The staff are always so friendly there and this is a go to place on Windsor for any special occasion. The £19.17 menu for 2 courses is outstanding value and the complementary dessert and candle for my dad's 95th made it all extra special. Will be visiting again soon! Everyone must try the Rum Baba in the pic!!!

We just stopped for a drink. Excellent service. Friendly, very pleasant atmosphere.

Lovely for a date. Attentive and great service.

Very trendy restaurant good food and service

Very lovely experience. They provided entertainment for my young child and were very friendly. My only gripe was they’d made a significant change to my usual order (it was on the menu but I was so used to ordering I didn’t bother read it) and in my opinion it wasn’t an improvement but a blatant attempt to cut spending as my egg was replaced with salad

Dinner at The Ivy was the icing on the cake for my husbands birthday. The lamp rump & Malaysian monkfish curry were so tasty. Our server- Elliot, was courteous, friendly & helpful. The rum baba was lovely, but needed more rum!!

Excellent service, we really enjoyed our meal with the children, fab decor, food and atmosphere.

Absolutely loved my meal this morning! Served by Amelia and her service was amazing from checking up on our meals, warm smiles, to recommendations on the menu! Food came incredibly fast and was very good! Will definitely be back !!!

Was welcomed with exception enthusiasm and kindness by a lovely waiter named Amelia. She tented to every minor detail of our meal and ensured we were satisfied at every point. Was grateful to have such good service by her and all of the other staff, it made the meal so much better. Lovely young lady :)

Staff are so rude in this branch. My wife walked in asked for a table said there was 4 people they had a table after my wife said we have a baby too they said they are fully booked until 9pm even though the restaurant was half empty!

I’m not usually an ‘Ivy’ fan - but this is by far the best one I have visited! The food was phenomenal and the service was top tier too! We really enjoyed when visiting Windsor and would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you to the team at Ivy, Windsor, for a fantastic evening meal! For reference, we visited in November 2023! Lastly, I have a Lactose Allergy and they were extremely helpful and accommodating to my allergy - so thank you again for this!

Loved everything about this place. From the location to the ambience, this place is awesome. The staff is very welcoming and attentive, Emmanuel at this IVY was superb. He served us with a smile all the time and manage to also take some good pictures of us. Highly recommended.

Really lovely place with great service. Took care of us and catered to some great gluten free options. They don't have a separate menu but the waiter was very knowledgeable and patient.

Cod, burger, pasta, and chicken plate were good
