The Ivy Buchanan Street in Glasgow City

Visited with my wife for dinner. Service was very poor and slow, had to ask for water 3 times in 20 minutes. Food itself was fine but certainly not worth the high cost. Disappointing as I have always liked this place and looked forward to our visit. On a plus, the decor is outstanding.

Another birthday, another Ivy. This is our 5th Ivy that we have visited and it’s safe to say it was a great visit. Last year we visited the Edinburgh Ivy, Glasgow Ivy was equally as great. The service was brilliant, I didn’t catch the gentleman’s name but he looked like Jonny Bravo (nice hair quiff but with a great moustasche) and I think Alice M? (Short hair and glasses) was our other waiter, both were great, attentive, helpful. I really think the service staff are what makes a great visit to the Ivy. The food as usual was very nice and a wrongly delivered item was swiftly changed. We were upstairs in what felt like a more bar styled area than the typical restaurant vibe downstairs. Even with a private party in the Morgan Room we could still chat and enjoy the typically aesthetic Ivy interior. Food wise, the dough sour is always a hot as are the haggis Bon bons. The mozzarella starter with a mix of pecans and fruit was great and the duck curry was spot on! Opted for miniature mince pies for dessert and they were fantastic! Thank you for another great visit

Went along as we had been given a voucher as a gift, uninspiring menu, average food and very expensive drinks. Lovely place and service was superb however overall experienc was below average

Nothing positive to say about our visit! First people into the restaurant on a Sunday morning. Seated at the tiniest table, literally not room to set our order on the table without stacking on top of each other. Set breakfast was very poor. Watery scrambled egg, bacon barely cooked and not even warm. Staff off hand and disinterested. Would have enjoyed a bacon roll in Macdonald’s a 100 times more Never again

Booked a birthday treat for my wife and cannot speak highly enough of the service and consideration provided by waiter ‘par excellence’ Etienne. He offered a level of service that is a credit to the Ivy and himself. He is a natural and firmly put our recent dining experience at Cameron House firmly in the shade, The food was first class too. Thanks Etienne for making it a memorable experience for all the right reasons. Cordialement Monsieur !

Delighted with the food, service and setting. The salted caramel espresso martini was delicious 😋

Exceptional service and food. We went with our two toddlers and had a lovely family dinner. The service was wonderful, attention to detail was unparalleled and everyone working there were so kind and polite. We made lasting memories thanks to you and thank you team for treating our little boy with a special birthday surprise. Very impressed!

Food is unbelievable, staff is well trained, atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. Nothing to say more if you around Glasgow City centre is a must to give them a shout. Booking in advance is not a must, but you will help to get a tabel. We have seated at the bar and I can't complain about one little thing as everything was so good.

Treated my hubby to lunch at the Ivy for his birthday. The food was absolutely amazing. The restaurant is lovely , even the toilets were lovely decorated. The atmosphere was perfect. All the staff were so attentive. They helped me choose an appropriate meal as I have some food intolerances. The lady that was dealing with my meal went above and beyond. I would like to say a special thank you to her, didn't catch her name though. My hubby even got a nice birthday treat , a creamy proffiterole with a a candle on top. It was our first time at the Ivy in Glasgow. We would definitely recommend it and hopefully we will visit again soon.

Absolutely brilliant. Great atmosphere and ambience. Opulently decorated and finished but still feels comfortable. Fantastic service throughout. Lots of choice on the menu. The £17.19 menu is great value. The main menu, champagne and cocktails are quite expensive but well worth it if you are treating yourself or someone else.

Great place to visit when in Glasgow. Awesome atmosphere and wonderful food. Will go again the next time we are in Scotland.

Excellent meal, delicious wines, good service and a beautiful interior.

We spent a lovely early dinner here last night with our son for our 4th wedding anniversary. We’d like to especially thank Lucy for making it a really special evening, she was great and really looked after our little one too

One of the best places for a good dinner in Glasgow!!

We just needed a really well made cocktail and got exactly what we needed... We've eaten here before and it's very good food with excellent service.

Was in last Saturday for lunch food and service second to none

Just up my street this. Nice and posh with excellent service. Great food. They even brought us a little something extra as we were celebrating.

" A robust drink menu" that doesn't cater for coeliac disease people. Not good enough.

Excellent food and service. It was our 57th Wedding Anniversary and although we did not make a fuss over it, our Waiter Ryan did and went above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. Thank you!

Service was fantastic (especially our waiter who was a really friendly guy from Scotland via Melbourne)- they made the meal very special for my daughter who loves it there. Food was good- the truffle Milanese and truffle chips were great (9/10), the lobster pasta was nice but not amazing (7.5/10). Drinks were nice and the bill was not cheap (but I wouldn’t expect it to be) but overall was a lovely night and the staff are amazing.

Consistently great food and outstanding service

Looks amazing inside, very nice place but came for breakfast on a Friday and there were just a few things that added up that made the visit fall below expectations tbh. My partner got the fryup and it was clear to see parts of the breakfast had been sitting in a over/ under hotplate for a bit... Black pudding was like a hockey puck around the edges as was the thing on top (can't remember if it was haggis or fruit pudding). The 'smothies' we got were so watery, and the ham on my eggs Benedict was on the verge of being unpalatable it was so salty. The cushions where we were sat smelt funky too, so asked to get them taken away. On the plus side, like I say lovely setting inside. Staff were great, very professional and the coffee was great... But expected more from this place, especially for the price. Maybe was a one off but doubt I'll be back

Great place for food. And great relaxed atmosphere and handy for city centre. Staff attentive.

Popped in for early breakfast. Great selection and lovely decoration. Good coffee and a free extra one was given... Much needed food after red eye flight. Staff were great and friendly here and great location for shopping.

Lovely place and one of the few decent breakfast options that we could find in the centre of town. We hadn’t booked so they could only fit us in at the bar which was still lovely. The mocktails were really good as were the eggs Benedict and the cheese and ham omelette. Would definitely come back here.

1st day in Glasgow, 1st gem! The Ivy restaurant, ideally located in the center of Glasgow, was a great discovery for us. It was by chance that we went to this establishment for dinner. The setting is truly superb. The dishes and desserts are as beautiful as they are good, special mention for the crème brûlée which, according to my partner, is the best he has eaten! A huge thank you to Alek, who was our server during this dinner. His energy, his humor and his great kindness greatly contributed to the success of this first evening! Thanks again!

Stylish - delicious - (staff) highly professional. When in Glasgow, visit this fancy restaurant in the city center. Food is delicious, high quality and fine arranged. Staff is extraordinary and very friendly. Interior is great and stylish.

Had a lovely afternoon at the Ivy celebrating our friends birthday. It is like walking back in time the decor is amazing. Food was delicious service wonderful. Will definitely visit again.

Went in for a couple of drinks visiting Glasgow. Very expensive. Was £14 for a JD and coke. They added a £3 service charge which was odd considering they served us at the bar. It's a very nice place and service etc is flawless. I guess the prices are high to keep folk like me out 😃

Great service and food this evening. We were served by Mia C who was attentive and polite. She made the dining experience that little bit better! Will be back very soon!

Really disappointed with our visit yesterday, started off with a good impression. Decor inside really nice and staff all very pleasant. When our main dishes came my steak wasn't cooked the way I had asked. it was well done when I had asked for medium rare. They took it away and re cooked it which was fine but my wife had finished her dinner by the time mine came back. The steak wasn't that good when it did arrive and definitely not worth nearly £40 with no sides included. Plenty of great steak places around so I won't make that mis-steak again! We spent over £200 in the restaurant. When I go out, I expect to eat my dinner at the same time as whoever I'm there with. things happen but I didn't even get a drink on the house or something off the bill to acknowledge this , just a 13% tip added onto my bill. Will not be back

Great atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming staff !!!!

The place had a very cool decoration, they treated us great and above all the food was very good.

I would recommend planning your visit before reaching their as u may not have vacant tables specially in weekends. I was seated in the bar ( agreed to that myself because i was hungry 😛) The service is 10/10 and everything I’ve tried Satisfied me.

Classy decor, absolutely outstanding service and really great food. Highly recommend.😃

I asked which meal was the best and the bartender recommended the Shepards pie. I can without a doubt that this was the worst Shepards pie I have ever had. Also, he rarely refilled our water and it took forever to checkout. Save yourself and go eat someplace else.

Had the special breakfast but it was clearly reheated food :/

Having previously dined at The Ivy we were not very impressed. The food was average and the staff were bordering on rude, so why would we return... A gift card of course, with the expiry time shortly approaching. On arrival we were shown to our reserved seats and given a comprehensive description on what was on offer. We started off with champagne mojitos, and Salt and Pepper Squid, both of which were delicious. We asked for a short break before serving our mains, Duck Curry and Chicken Milanese  and chips and our server timed it to perfection. I cannot complement the service enough, which was friendly, attentive and informative without being overbearing. Our mains were very tasty and just that little bit different, and portions generous. We accompanied our meal with a bottle of Ivy Provence Rosé, served and topped up as required. Our server recommended the Ivy Chocolate Bombe which was absolutely delicious and a great recommendation. The total meal cost was in the region of £200 which included a service charge. Not cheap, but there is also a fixed price menu which is good value for money.

First time . Only one fault they charged us for the most expensive rosey wine and we asked for house wine 🍷 😒

Just this minute left this establishment. Popped in for a few cocktails. Couldn’t give us a seat except on high seats at the bar. We were told place was full despite there being a few small empty tables. When asked if we could possibly have one we were told there were no chairs available. We left immediately and have made very welcome elsewhere. VERY DISAPPOINTED. .

I had such a lovely trip here on Saturday! Really fancied a day out and I hadn’t been to Glasgow for years! Decided on booking at the Ivy as I had never been and wanted to eat out somewhere nice whilst we were there. It’s a lovely building, beautiful decor but super busy at the time we were arriving (we were booked for 4:15) we didn’t wait long at all to be seated though. Our server Aurelian was so lovely, and really added to the experience! I was a little disappointed I was unable to order off a specific menu I’d seen online but everything I did end up ordering off the A La Carte menu was so delicious. We were looked after very well and as it had recently been my birthday, I was surprised with a beautiful dessert before we left and it was divine! We ordered the black truffle arancini and haggis bons bons to start - highly recommend both, so tasty! For our mains I ordered the sea bass and my mum ordered the artichoke and sweet potato tagine with couscous - we were both very happy with our choices, the sea bass was beautifully cooked! I also added a side of the creamed spinach which I really enjoyed too. To drink I had the Ellis in Wonderland cocktail which was great and my mum had the peach iced tea which she enjoyed! We will definitely be back ☺️

Gorgeous vintage gem in the heart of Glasgow. Lovely food, outstanding friendly service and a luxury ambiance without a huge price tag.

What a great restaurant ❤️❤️just going to the toilet was an experience. The food and the service were great. Thank you very much for this brunch

I was unsure of what to expect from the Ivy. Would it be snobbish and pretentious? I was expecting it to be. However, I was wrong I was met with the most curtious, friendly, and attentive staff who made us feel very welcome and special. The surroundings were sumptuous, the food and drinks were delicious, and the bill was surprisingly reasonable for the luxious experience and service. I'll definitely be back as the Ivy is well worth a visit if you fancy a little indulgence.

Delicious lunch and top notch service

Great spot for both lunch and dinner. The starters are outstanding, especially the duck salad and olives. The burger was good, but not exceptional.

Beautiful place, fantastic food, would highly recommend

My family of 5 (three teenagers) had the most wonderful dinner at The Ivy. The restaurant is beautiful, staff fantastic and food amazing. Two of our group are vegetarian and had equally delicious options. We were seated upstairs at a breathtaking table. I would highly recommend to anyone.

It was our 1st night in Glasgow and we wanted to go to a nice restaurant near our Hotel in the centre of Glasgow. We made a reservation for 7pm. I would recommend making a reservation as they were full on the night we were there (Monday). The service was outstanding. Ian answered all our questions and made a couple of recommendations. We had Sea Bream and Shepherds Pie which were both hot and perfectly done. For desert we shared a Chocolate Bomb - WOW! so decadent and delicious. With a beer and soda the bill came to £80.99 (including a £9 Service Charge which was well deserved) Would recommend if you want a very good meal and excellent service. Beautiful interior.

Ordered the sirloin steak with mash. The steak was pretty good. The mash was fine. I would come back.

Cosy and fancy place in Glasgow. The service was great, the food was good, we had breakfast.

Ryan served us , he was a good laugh and had great customer service. Food was ok, nothing special.

Best place I have ever been to the food is amazing

The Ivy is beautiful for the toilets alone 😀 your own wee private bathroom full of colour and class, love it, the whole place is beautiful and classy. First visit for breakfast this morning, Great full menu, I ordered the full Scottish breakfast 😋 with the full shebang 😀 I changed my fried egg to the scrambled, my only slight was there was not enough of them, everything else was lovely. My friend loved her salmon with plenty of scrambled eggs😀 and a lovely pot of tea. My latte was just ok although my flat white was lovely and smooth. I definitely recommend booking, it was quiet when we arrived for 9.30am and then all of a sudden very busy. The folk who do breakfast 😀. Prices where ok I felt for it being the Ivy and service charge added. Lovely start to the day.

All together a bit disappointing. Out greeting upon arrival was abrupt verging on rude.

We were looked after by the GM who was amazing, this is the 2nd and 3rd time we have visited the Glasgow brasserie and will definitely be back.

Great for afternoon lunch I have been here a few times normally at night I was sent a £20 voucher by email It reminded me how nice it was I have not been for a wile I booked afternoon lunch I was not disappointed my partner had the scallops I had the chicken skewers For the main I had the shepherd pie and my partner had the black cod Sticky toffee pudding for dessert Our waiter was Angus was very attentive and chatty a credit to the ivy it was a nice afternoon out you won’t be disappointed

Welcoming staff, who were happy to rearrange booking, due to travel arrangements The Ivy offers a calm atmosphere and classy experience, whether a trip for lunch, afternoon drinks or for dinner. The waiting staff were exceptional and regularly attended to ask for feedback The menu feels priced appropriately and they offer a selection of beers and drinks, with a wide variety of cocktails First time at the Glasgow Branch, however maintained high quality service as per previous experiences with the Leeds and Manchester restaurants

My 3 friends and I had a lovely afternoon. Food was delicious 😋 The cocktails 🍸👍🏻 Service from Angus 👍🏻

Amazing 😍 inside decor and atmosphere. Went there two days in a row for breakfast. Our favorite restaurant in Glasgow. Made our 30th anniversary special.

Food delicious. 1st time visiting but will definitely be back

Wonderful food and excellent service on our wedding anniversary. Staff were attentive, we had a great table and the food was delicious.

Lovely place to go for a meal. Friendly staff and great food.

We went for a meal to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday and wow, we were stunned at how beautiful this restaurant was! Quirky, old worldy, elegant, modern, relaxing, opulent are words to describe the decor. The food was absolutely mouth-watering, beautifully presented and unbelievably fantastic. You must have the profiteroles... wow! My wife said she had died and gone to heaven when she ate their espresso creme brulee. It was our first time at the Ivy and it definitely won't be our last. Wow wow wow!!!!

The food was fantastic, service immaculate. Our server, Ettien, was super friendly and helpful.

The food was unbelievable but the drinks were very expensive

Very Nice Restaurant with Good staff loved the atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming staff made our brunch a ten star experience. That’s the experience I feel the royalty only has access to! The food was great and my only little pick will be the quality of the coffee beans. A place like this should have the best beans with complex flavours. What I tasted was very subpar unfortunately! Hopefully they will improve by my next visit.

A massive thank you to Angus who looked after our table this afternoon. A young, enthusiastic and very professional individual, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a truly wonderful lunch. Angus, you are an asset to The Ivy....thank you so much.

Absolutely stunning food and amazing staff

We came into The Ivy and asked for a table for 2. It was 1pm and we were told there was a 30 minute wait, although tables were empty. We left for 15 minutes and after returning were then told the wait was now another 1 hour, although tables were empty. We ended up sitting at the bar, on the most uncomfortable seats, and after were were finished eating there were still plenty of tables empty! Not impressed!

This was such a great restaurant. The food was amazing and the staff were top rate

We had been to an Ivy location in London and we're pleased to see that the Ivy Buchanan was the same high caliber location! Awesome Service - We arrived early for our reservation and we're seated near the bar. It then began to ran and the staff noticed that many people were now standing/surrounding our table. As soon as the opportunity arose, the staff approached us and asked if we would like to move to another table. Great food - just like our meals at other Ivy locations, we enjoyed our dinner!

Stopped in for a few cocktails on a long weekend with the other half. What a find. Treated like rock stars. Lovely setting. Great location and most importantly of all - cracking cocktails. Do try the mirror martini, very different martini, lovely surprise

Was always under the impression that this Glasgow version of the London's illustrious "Ivy" was a bit pretentious but my mind has certainly been changed. I found that it's some of the customers that are snooty. The staff are all very friendly from the Maitre'd to the waiting staff. Big shout out to Joanne who was extremely friendly and welcoming and who also organised a complimentary dessert for my birthday. Thank you. Visited for birthday lunch with my brother (paying the bill) and his wife Rosslyn and myself and my husband. Shown to a table in the upstairs salon and given the regular/1917 set menu. We were set up with drinks, 3 juice and an Ivy bottled lager. We were given plenty of time to decide what we were going to eat. Ordered starters, 3x tomato and red pepper soup and 1x haggis bon bons with wholegrain mustard mayo. The soup dishes were placed in front of us with pine nuts, greek cheese and small cubes of red pepper and from individual jugs the soup was poured on top. This was wonderfully tasty and fresh. The haggis bon bons were small orbs of soft haggis rolled in toasted oats which my husband said were lovely with the delicately tasting mayo. The mains were also delicious, fresh fish and chips with mushy peas and a condiment plate with lemon in muslin, malt vinegar and tartar sauce and a generous portions (as were all the meals). The Ivy burger with West Country cheese on a slightly over done brioche bun , thick cut chips and horseradish ketchup was heartily enjoyed by my husband. The roasted artichoke and chicken breast, potato gnocchi in a creamy sauce with grana padano cheese shavings and with rocket and pine nuts was also a large portion but very light and perfectly seasoned. Lastly, the fillet steak with thick cut chips done to perfection was last to arrive but beautifully presented. My sister in law ordered ice cream for dessert but the rest of us had some hot drinks instead, but unbeknown to myself Joanne had noticed that I had been given gifts for my birthday and organised a complimentary dessert of a quite big profiterole filled with chocolate cream and melting chocolate sauce and finally a salted caramel drizzle with a candle on top and a chocolate cartouche wishing me a happy birthday! Full marks to everyone working at the Ivy for everything and making my day! Will return. Only 1 small point, my husband ordered a Scotch coffee and he said it was only lukewarm.

A beautiful restaurant with a lovely waitress who knew her stuff. A great place to people watch Glasgow!

Enjoyed the roast dinner and my wife had a great steak meal! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Lovely lunch today. Joint birthday visit. Food spot on especially the strawberry elderflower trifle. Service very attentive but not intrusive. All staff helpful & pleasant. Only minor issue tad noisy but otherwise everything spot on.

Outdoor seating not available on dry day in august. Why block half a public street with tables and umbrellas if not usable in mid summer. Bizarre

Very enjoyable visit to The Ivy restaurant on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. The building inside is beautifully decorated and spacious, there's no crammed together tables which seems to be a thing in venues these days. The staff were excellent, both very polite and friendly delivering an excellent service. I'd recommend the fillet steak and the chocolate bombe as both were delicious. Just to add that a service charge is included in the bill. Highly recommended!

The food was very good quality but I asked for no egg or black pudding nothing was offered instead of these I got a coffee and fresh orange juice. Nice but not worth what I paid hence only two stars for food.

The restaurant is gorgeous and I'll definitely return for drinks only. The food was not good. The soup was bland and The Malaysian curry tasted like a microwaveable curry. It wasn't terrible, but definitely not what I expected.

One of my favourite places to eat. It never disappoints, there is a beautiful atmosphere and such great service and the food is always very good. Love this place!!! Oh and the ladies toilets are very special haha!

You must go! Found service ambiance. This restaurant has it all. Fantastic!

Ordered Ribeye for my main coarse. Was the worst Ribeye I have tasted and was cold as well. Told the Waiter and I was told we have had a few complaints about the steaks and we are looking at another supplier. Gave me a free sweet than added £26 Service charge whitch we asked to be removed from the bill. Won't be back...

An elegant and delicious restaurant, but the downside is that the prices are very high. Breakfast per person costs 15 pounds.

The atmosphere was out of the world and service was impeccable.

Great experience! Laura was AMAZING! Best service I’ve had in Scotland yet.

Not much to say but it's the ivy. Been a few times already but this week was disappointed with the scallops. Should have sent it back. But happy overall

Aubergine Soy and Ginger special is A M A Z I NG

Excellent place with very nice flavors and very good staff.

As a visitor, i'm impressed , this place was a finely tuned machine . To explain : from watching the "front," staff saw perfection in that it was personable and professional without it being a "white glove " stuffy kind .From our greeting to our wondeful and inviting server , Etienne ,and with the support crew, everything was wonderful. Etienne was very attentive and actually spoke several languages. I'm not a foodie but know & love my steaks . Our order was well presented. However, my steak was served Rare when it was ordered Medium Rare . Without hesitation, not only did he whisked it away but also saw him speaking to a manager .With an earnest apology from both Etienne and the manager, I was served a delicious steak cooked to my perfection . They comped my dessert as goodwill without any expectation . Our experience overall :ambiance ,food ,beverages, and mostly service was terrific ! BRAVO Etienne & crew ,gonna try another Ivy soon ,and if back in Glascow, I will be there .

We ate there for lunch and evening meal, lunch was excellent and we looked forward to the evening, sadly really quite poor,sirloin steak was cool and chewy and overall appalling, veg was virtually raw and hard. We left very deflated, I think it will be a long time before we visit again.

Brilliant place. Ryan was a star and food fab. Fish cakes amazing.

Very nice interior with attentive staff. Food was tasty and a nice portion without being too much.

What amazing dinner! One of the best I had in Scotland. The waitress was very nice, the food was extraordinary. I ate much better here than in other restaurants in Italy, and I am Italian! I strongly suggest to stop by this place

Had a lovely birthday lunch today!

Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, elegant place We ordered salad, tomato soup (delicious), and potatoes Coffee and sweets Personal experience: I loved the place

We were there with friends, TOP

Fantastic, made to feel welcome from start to finish.
