The Ivy Buchanan Street in Glasgow City

A wee treat for my sister and it never let use down atmosphere just lush service amazing and food and drink first class.

Very well-kept restaurant. Excellent food (fish and seafood).

Had an early dinner on Bank Holiday Monday. Great setting (the best on Glasgow corso). Atmosphere was good. Seating excellent. Had a good vibe. Meals for 2 were terrific. Not cheap. Service excellent. Really good spot for us Aussies in Glasgow. Loved the decor. More upmarket than other restaurants in the area.

Definitely for a celebration event, it's exquisite. Great service, inventive, atmospheric, intriguing. Just love it.

Ambiance, delicious food with attentive service without being intrusive in central Glasgow. The perfect combination. And cocktails.

We dined here before travelling to London for the Chelsea flower show, Michael Wilson was our waiter, professional courteous and very elegant in his green blazer. Exceptional food in the most gorgeous surroundings, highly recommended. Kieran and Mary Heffernan.

Lovely restaurant with friendly and helpful staff. I had the fish, chips and mushy peas which was delicious. Service was quick. Would definitely go back.

I was taken to the Ivy for an early birthday celebration with friends. Waiters were very attentive, very good with the children, food was good and I got a nice profiterole with a candle in it. (Which was delicious)

The Ivy is what the Ivy is, always nice, good service & good food & good wine I had the scollops & the steak tartare, both very nice.

Quick service but not pushy. Food was fabulous. Would recommend.

Had a great time. Afternoon tea was lovely and the staff were very kind.

Very average service Staff forgot the vegetarian menu twice Wait a long time for food Didn’t even ask how the food was And when we asked to take the service charge off the Server Laughed

Had a lovely meal on a busy Saturday afternoon. The service from Ryan was fantastic, the food was amazing and we won’t hesitate to come back.

Loved it. Great cocktails. Great service. Great food. A regular place for us.

One of the best restaurants in Glasgow

I was at the Ivy in glasglow yesterday with my friend and we got duck starters and steak for our main meal. Following this be both bcome very unwell and were vomiting all night and today. I believe we have got food positing. We didn't eat anything before or after our meal at the ivy as we become so unwell. As you can imagine this has been very upsetting and the Ivy ain't cheap either

Este restaurante es simplemente impresionante y en un día soleado como hoy es el escenario perfecto. El personal es simplemente encantador y Max el gerente del restaurante nos atendió tan bien. Qué joven tan encantador. Tenía el entrante de cangrejo y un filete cocinado a la perfección. Éramos 7 de nosotros para el almuerzo y todo el mundo deliraba sobre la calidad de la comida. No puedo esperar a volver

Steak was over cooked. Busy night and service was extremely slow, had to ask twice to get several items Not all the main dishes were brought out together. Food was underwhelming at best.

Love that place. In the city of Glasgow. Pretty building, great location, awesome staff and very friendly. U pay a little bit more but it's worth it. Will come back for sure.

Excellent place for brunch with elegance!

Booked the Morgan Room for a work celebration dinner and they were wonderful!! Amazing service, really friendly and everything was easy to organise. Thank you! We had the best time!

La hiedra es un lugar encantador, muy central para las tiendas y el transporte público. No tuve mucho tiempo para hacer el desayuno completo, así que pedí conservas tostadas y café. Estaba bien. El servicio no fue genial esa mañana. Definitivamente volveré para el almuerzo o la cena. Reflejar el desayuno no era nada especial.

¡Justo a medio camino! Prueba el menú del mercado hoy. Las frituras de calabacín estaban geniales, especialmente con el dip de limón, chile y menta. Ambos tuvimos calamares como entrantes: una gran decepción. Calamari era muy masticable y yo no podía comer el mío. Le aconsejé a nuestra camarera que se ofreció a tener el plato re-cocinado. Me negué. Los dos comimos bistec minúsculo que estaba delicioso. El lado 🍅 era encantador. Me encanta este lugar para café / bebidas.

Brilliant staff so polite and well trained, never been to a place like it before took my friend for her birthday and she loves it too, would visit again at the next event

Enjoyed an amazing meal and drinks here. The staff were lovely, great atmosphere and lovely food and drink. What a treat! Would recommend 👌

Vino para un bocado rápido y una bebida y fue tratado con un servicio encantador, acogedor y amable de nuestro encantador camarero francés Aureliano. Encantador y atento sin ser dominante (este encantador tipo necesita un aumento! ) excepcionalmente bien informado y dio maravillosas recomendaciones sobre qué probar hoy. Bebidas encantadoras como siempre y la comida demasiado entallada. Entorno sublime y gran ambiente - lo recomendaría! Gracias por una experiencia encantadora

Lovely meal Had heritage menu. Our server looked after us well. We were not rushed and had a lovely afternoon

Found a hair in the coating of my chicken milanese. Staff handled the complaint, but unfortunately its put me off and I wont return.

Excellent food, brunch steak and duck curry. Cocktails good, service attentive and happy.

Went here for dinner. The food and atmosphere was great, and the service was top notch. Very thoughtful and thorough with allergies. Our server Ryan was one of the best I've ever seen

Go in here every time we visit the city, 4-5 times per year,,,, Totally disappointed today , after waiting 20 minutes after our booking time to get seated, when my child had half eaten his burger before we realised it was half raw,,,,, wouldn't expect it from a fast food outlet let alone one of Glasgows top restaurants. Didn't charge for it but totally ruined the others eating at the table so really wasted £168 and now got a sick 12yr old....waiter was very polite and helpful but certainly wasn't worth the wait nor money!!

Beautiful place food excellent took my sister for her retirement she loved it food excellent so we're the staff

What an amazing visit. Had the special breakfast,which was excellent. Took a friend from out of town . Both really enjoyed the time we spent there. Will visit again

The food was ok but not great. Quite pricey considering what you got. The bomb desert was super sweet. The service wasn't great. We received a drink at the start and weren't asked if we wanted another or how our meal was. It was quite noisy.

The service was great, drinks came quickly after ordering and food came at a normal pace which suited us well. We never felt rushed even though we were one of the last 2 tables at the restaurant. Will be back.

Great service by alek and suzy, great food, and Suzy went above and beyond by organising a nice congratulations cake due to me getting a new job. Will definitely be back.

I don't ask for much from a restaurant, just draught lager and a burger cooked how I want. The ivy Glasgow failed on both. Not good

Stylish eatery in the centre of Glasgow. We were given a voucher from family for my birthday so felt we could push the boat out. Starters were very good though I thought my salt and chilli squid was a tad overdone. Our mains was the lamb special, it was excellent, though without ordering a couple of side dishes it might have been a bit on the small portion. Dessert was the prize though. French apple tart with calvados and ice cream. Service was very good throughout our visit attentive but not over the top. Is it value for money, not sure it all depends on what you want to experience and your budget. Would we go back, probably but a much more reserved lunch.

Total style over substance! Staff were really lovely and attentive. Interesting decor and atmosphere. Food was OK but for £200 tab for 2 of us I'd like it be at least great! Scallops we're over, still edible. Courgette fritti is tasty but oily, again edible. Lobster & john dorie was OK, but only some lobster claw (over cooked & rubbery) & some couple of small pieces of fish in a thin sauce. Felt an incomplete dish as no vegetables, I could have bought a side for £8 but didn't appreciate I would need to! My husbands £38 steak was tasty but a LOT of grizzle & NOTHING else on the plate. Can buy a side of chips, or a sauce or another side as extra. I think both mains were nothing worth even £20. Didn't bother to complain as the food was acceptable but nowhere near the value of the cost. Desserts were lovely (again a bit over-priced) All in all, really disappointing food. Pleasant place to eat.

Very nice place to visit for a special lunch. The food was very tasty and the service was great

Just love The Ivy - food great - atmosphere perfect

We were pleasantly surprised when my name came up on their database when they took my phone number. Where assigned a lovely corner table with a good view of the bar. Server was a bit cold at first but warmed up. Food was excellent. My wife had the sea bass and I had the sheppards pie. Portion was was also good. Didnt have room for dessert as we ordered the sour dough bread Only complaint I have is there should be draft selections available to customers. Just one more thought. It is nice to have an accessible toilet on the ground floor but you should ensure the door closes properly

Amazing food, great service and a beautiful restaurant. We didn't have a reservation and we were lucky to get a table. I had the haggis bon bons with whiskey sauce and the shepherd's pie with almond green beans. Absolutely delicious. Washed down with an ivy lager.

Great experience at this restaurant. I went there with friends at first then with customers in a private room. The food is absolutely amazing no matter what you order. The waiters are very attentive and professional and the atmosphere is just lovely. Checking out the bathroom is a must as it goes with the whole theme of the place.

My partner and I were in 29/03/25 for our anniversary and we couldn’t have picked a better spot to end the night. We arrived early and were quickly shown to the bar. The bar staff were quick and attentive. Our server Ryan was fantastic! He made fantastic recommendations, and the food was amazing, each dish couldn’t be faulted. I’m so glad we picked here and will definitely be back. Our thanks to Ryan, Danial and all the team!!!

Very crowded and felt under pressure to hurry through meal and vacate table.

We had a wonderful dinner here last night, from the time that Polly made our booking to when she saw us out giving us directions the the nearest cab rank, and giving us a much appreciated small gift

Booked for the Mother’s Day set menu. 3 options for the main course: Halloumi, sea bass or Korean chicken. Had booked specifically for the Korean chicken and was looking forward to it but we were told it had sold out (we were dining at 4.30pm so pretty surprising to have ran out so early). No other meat option as a replacement was offered at all which was really poor, I don’t eat seafood so had no choice but the halloumi. Could hear other tables around were equally as disappointed.

We went for lunch on our anniversary. The food was nice our chips were not hot but they were very quick to resolve that. Also my husband caramel sauce was not warm enough to melt the chocolate on his dessert and they again quickly rectified that and gave him his coffee free of charge. So service was good and the meal was delicious .

15 minutes late getting seated. No obvious reason why. Had to ask reception when table would be ready. Table we were allocated had not been in use when we entered. Otherwise, an excellent lunch.

Wonderful place . Great food service is excellent. Unfortunately the background music does not go with the atmosphere but I did thoroughly enjoy myself and highly recommend to eat here .

Great place for a brunch, the eggs royale, the shepherds pie and the pancakes are delicious. The cocktails also are a must have. The service is great as well as the place even if sometimes a bit noisy.

Sunday lunch frozen yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes

More style over substance. I had the duck curry which was nice enough but wouldn't be desperate to have it again as have definitely had nicer. Atmosphere is what people go here for I would think as it does have a nice vibe.

Went for a Sunday lunch the other week. We arrived over half an hour early and they found us a seat at the bar while we waited. Had a cocktail, roast chicken, and pistachio and raspberry sorbet. Hubby had roast beef and tiramisu. All was lovely as usual. Service was impeccable too.

Busy restaurant with lots of atmosphere.....would say that music was too loud as high ceilings and noise echoed around. I had the shepherd's pie which would have been lovely but not sure if hot. My sister's meal was also tepid! We asked for water and bottle brought which cost £5.00. Waitress was very attentive and smart....service good! Felt overall bit pricey for what we had!

Très belle salle , le restaurent est bien situé la nourriture est bonne sauf un désert au chocolat que je n’ai pas vraiment aimé. Nous sommes venu pour nos un ans avec ma compagne et une petite attention nous a été faite , un dessert offert avec un bougie , très appréciable. Je recommande si vous êtes de passage à Glasgow

Absolutely fantastic as always by the lovely staff at the Ivy Glasgow. Had such a gorgoeus experience there on Saturday with my daughter. Beautiful brunch, champagne and cocktails. Always feels a special experience surrounded by the most gorgoeus decor. Cannot wait for our next visit!! It was extremely busy, staff coped well.

We usually go for dinner here at least once a year. Previous visit was not so good with slow service and poor food but now glad to say both have improved. Service level was excellent and food very good. Restored our faith in a stunning interior restaurant.

A place above the standard of Scottish food, good service, reasonable prices, and a nice atmosphere. The food is okay, but not excellent, a good option in Glasgow.

Laurie was an Amazing host and waiter. He clearly has great pride in his profession. The food was absolutely delicious ~ fresh and warm. The coffee is to die for and don’t forget to get the bread. We LOVED our breakfast!!! We highly recommend coming here.

Went here for a belated birthday lunch for both me and my friend. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. We both had the fillet steak with peppercorn sauce. I had chips with parmesan and truffle oil and my friend just had chips. The steaks cooked yo perfection and very extremely tasty. We also got a little cake to celebrate our birthday which was a lovely touch. The ivy is a lovely place to visit for a nice treat will definitely be back

Beautiful bar and restaurant. Myself and my dad came for a few relaxing afternoon cocktails. Very relaxed atmosphere. Lovely staff.

Just lovely. Friendly, attentive staff. Superb food and drink

2 days in Glasgow. 1st day went to Ivy sat outside had lovely cocktails. Staff very attentive. Must come back! Sunday popped in for coffee before journey home and despite being quite empty was only offered high chairs at the bar! We both have back problems and can't do high chairs but were told take it or leave it. Where's the inclusiveness

Classic, cosy, traditional, nice restaurant. You can find nice traditional English food like fish & chips. Service is fast and kind.

Only really pop in for cocktails but the staff are always super accommodating and friendly and always happy to adjust things to personal taste.

Great service. Fabulous food and yummy cocktails also a great place for large bookings. Will definitely book again 😃.

We booked this restaurant for my friends 80th birthday, unfortunately it had to be cancelled due to the red weather warning so it was rescheduled to today which happened to be his wife’s 79th birthday too. When we arrived, we told the staff at the front desk that it was their birthday and we would like them to present them with a small cake each, I said we had seen it done before and were more than happy to pay them whatever it would cost. She took a note off the table number and said she would tell our server. We had our meal and nothing arrived but we saw another table getting cakes which was commented on, we tried to delay paying the bill hoping the cake would come but nothing. Such an anticlimax for these two wonderful people who deserved a little extra on a major milestone. Wish I had brought my own cake now or gone somewhere else. Very disappointed, should have been told if it was not possible!

Great place. Fantastic service and food. Highly recommend

Brilliant place the level of service always very high and the food delicious!

The waitress Daniel was giving us very good service 😊

Loved every bit of it Staff, very welcoming and professional The food was delicious 😋

Beautiful building Great service Food fantastic Very special building

Loved our visit to The Ivy Glasgow

For us ' was disappointed 😞! Special lunch ' £140 and to be honest we could have cooked better at home! Service was super etc ... very disappointed

Lovely place. Bathroom are very nice. Uni

10/10 services was good and friendly, food very good and great atmosphere!!!! High recommended 🤩

What a lovely experience once again in the Ivy. This time we needed a little help to accommodate my partner and his crunches. They re assigned our table to make him comfortable. We managed the stairs to the beautiful cocktail bar however when leaving they offered to assist him in the lift. As well as excellent food and service, the care from staff on this occasion was excellent.

Very lovely and well priced Sunday lunch

Food and wine were delicious. Service impeccable, was asked about any food allergies or requirements and the birthday treat was a nice touch. Although busy, there was a nice quiet relaxed atmosphere.

I've been here a lot of times and I really enjoy it every time. The steak is good, and the atmosphere is great as well. The staff has always been friendly. It’s definitely one of my go-to spots whenever I’m going for a nice dinner.

Saved our day trip to Glasgow, had a Great time and expertly looked after.

+ Nice atmosphere and decor. + Fantastic attentive service. + Food was very good. - Food portions are small. - Corner seating for 2 at 90° was uncomfortable, slightly cramped leg space and restricted space on table. - 12.5% service charged added to bill.

Great place, The interior looks fantastic with all its paintings and decor, Service is amazing too, the staff are so professional. The only bad thing was our mains were sent out 2 mins after our starters arrived! We had our starters and mains at the same time, basically, so our small table was a bit overcrowded with plates! Our steaks were also not cooked how we asked for them but we didn't complain as we were hungry and it was still nice food and a great experience being in the Ivy. After our meal, we went upstairs to the bar and enjoyed a couple of drinks. We will definitely be back.

I come here very regularly and normally service and food are all great. But today the kitchen had an oven breakdown - I understand that’s a challenge and I was happy to wait. But our allotted time at the table was then exceeded so we were told we had to move to the bar or leave. To be fair, we were told desserts at the bar would be free of charge but by this time we were annoyed and disappointed at having to move when it was not our fault. So we left. And the server , knowing our disappointment, was not bothered in the slightest.

It's a great place you won't be disappointed

Horrific Sunday roast, if that wasn’t frozen potatoes then they were Aunt Bessie’s

The beauty of The Ivy. Art deco style and the colour green of course complement the look perfectly. The food was lovely. Service excellent and atmosphere was relaxed

Difficult to review this place beyond that if any other bar, which probably isn’t fair as it’s much more. However, our visit was only a fleeting one as a bar not knowing the area or the nature of business. Service staff were very friendly, welcoming and couldn’t be more gratuitous. Bar staff served everyone like friends and have a welcoming vibe. Place was busy and food being delivered to tables looked great. After our swift drinks, chose to move on, and paid the bill. £29 for a glass of red Malbec wine and an orange gin and lemonade..? That’s not normal or even reasonable prices is it? Or have I missed an economic shift of ludicrous proportions? I could of bought 3 bottles of each for that price?

Beautifully prepared & presented food. Service was excellent too. All the staff are wonderfully well dressed & polite. If I had 1 issue, it was the volume & choice of music. A little too loud & very modern. I would like something that is more appealing to a wider range of diner. Update 2025, the music had improved dramatically. The food was still wonderful & the staff are very well trained.

Not worth your hard earned cash, very over rated and over priced, won't be rushing back

The ivy is always a treat. Great value, gorgeous location, delicious food. Can’t recommend the burger highly enough (the horseradish ketchup is amazing). Brilliant service and just beautiful.

We visited on 30th January 2025. Party of four. We had five drinks between us.three Wines a none alcoholic beer and a soft drink. We ordered the £19-95 for two courses then added the sweet which made it just under £26 per person. Three sides were also ordered. The food was tasty enough but portions were on the small side. We asked for the bill which came to £222. and on closer inspection there was a £59 discrepancy which we pointed out. The waitress looked at it and told us a button had been wrongly pressed and apologised. Sadly we won’t be back as they are better restaurants in Glasgow to dine out.

Great decor and ambiance, food good and service second to none.

Perfect staff food was perfect recommended

What a special experience with my daughter! Xx

Lovely veggie burger, one of the best I’ve had. Incredible apple pie.

Always thought this was the place to go whilst in Glasgow as we sometimes pop in for some drinks but this time it was very average. We sat at the bar but the drinks weren’t anything special this time. Very very overpriced this time too. Shame.

We were seated 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order. Ordered pre dinner cocktails and food. Disappointed in the coordination of the service: cocktails took 20 minutes to serve (I could see them sitting on the bar for 5 minutes) , our starters appeared before the cocktails so we asked for them to be served later after our drinks. To be fair, staff were pleasant and fixed things when asked but could be better organised. Food was tasty.
