Like the styling. Food was pretty good. We had service that was pretty poor to begin with, fairly inattentive and possibly even miserable. The recovery on it was good though. Not sure if a manager but they exceeded expectations on how they dealt with our complaint that we'd asked for some drinks and they didn't arrive for half an hour thoughout the main course. All in all not bad

Great surroundings, bright and colourful. Scones for afternoon tea were warm and tasty, shame we had to wait 45 minutes for them. Staff helpful when you managed to spot someone. Not cheap, but good food, will probably visit again to see if evening meals live up to expectation. 🤔

Met & Greeted with a smile & took our jackets to store for us. Guided to our table, ordered & recieved Drinks in a nice time. Had a while to decide what to have for Starters & Mains, so much selection You weren't hurried, all done easy. Food arrived very hot & tasty. Plenty of it too. The atmosphere when we arrived was quite with music but due to it being a Friday it got very busy. Enjoyable. Our Waitor Connor was a friendly & interesting gent. A must especially for a Special Occassion.

The setting is good. It has a lively atmosphere, by having the cocktail bar right in the middle. The food items are fresh and overall it's good, not outstanding, but good. For example the steak doesn't have a charcoalled flavour or its meat stands out in any sort of way. The whole meal lacked more flavour, it was too safe. The staff was attentive and friendly. And then came the bill. Two of us at £110 per head, and that is without having had a bottle of wine nor dessert. Extortionate in general, but more so for what is being served.

Mother’s Day, very busy as you would expect. The service was polite and attentive but very very slow. The food, overcooked scallops, overcooked cod loin. The very professional waitress removed both from the bill. If you allow so many tables to book, ensure you have enough staff and a chef that can cook seafood. Won’t go back anytime soon

Ordered drinks on arrival. These sat on the bar for some considerable time until we managed to catch someone's eye and were able to ask for them to be brought over. By then, my husband's ice cold beer glass was warm and wet. The wine had not been chilled, and was lukewarm. On ordering from the menu I chose the osso buco (one of the three monthly specials), 10 minutes later the waitress returned to say they had run out - really? At 7.30 on a Friday night? Whoever the kitchen manager is, they are not doing a good job. My husband enjoyed his curry, but the clams and mussels in my fish stew were overcooked and the dish would have benefited from a slice of bread to mop the sauce up with. I appreciate that you can buy a basket of bread, but there would have been far too much for one person. Service was very slow, and we had to keep asking for our wine to be poured, as the ice bucket in which they had attempted to cool it, was out of reach. Overall, a very underwhelming and disappointing experience.

One of the best restaurants I have been to so far. I am a fan of posh restaurants with good and different food. This was a gift reservation for my best friend and we had the best time. Most delicious scallops from around the area, the steak was perfectly cooked and the starters were yummy! The bill at the end was unexpectedly low in comparison with other restaurants with poor food quality. Amazing service and nice staff definitely will be returning for more meals! 🤍

My son (aged 7) asked if he could go to the Ivy for his birthday lunch. We’ve been to many others and have been amazing. Although we were greeted by a lovely lady, our experience wasn’t what we expected. As soon as we sat down and our waitress came over the whole atmosphere changed. You could tell she didn’t want to be there, no eye contact and made to feel really uncomfortable. We were only asked once if we wanted a drink, waited ages to ask for another and gave up. The food was very average, There was no mention that is was my sons birthday even though I had mentioned it when booking and at the door. My family felt uncomfortable the whole time and felt like we couldn’t ask for anything else, as our waitress was very rude. We couldn’t wait to get the bill and leave. For a family of 6 this meal wasn’t cheap, we restored to going to another local restaurant for a dessert for my son’s birthday to end the day on a high for him. Really disappointed.

Birthday Lunch for son. An excellent lunch today at The Ivy, Chichester. It was very busy, but service was good, lovely staff, and food was really yummy! I can recommend the Robata Chicken skewers with bang bang peanut sauce, which all 3 of us loved. and everything else, including a pasta, tomato and slow cooked 3 meat main course, and my delicious dessert, of frozen fruit, with hot white chocolate sauce and yogurt sorbet complete with smoky effect ! We are now stuffed, and not sure we'll have room for birthday cake! . 10/10 The Ivy! (2 courses for £19.99...we thought it very good value )

I've uploaded a photo of my 7oz fillet steak. That's my index finger for scale, btw. £45 for nugget. Chip potato was hard and tasteless, steak was overcooked. One star. Tatin Old fashioned cocktail was nice so, I'll be generous and give the food and drink two. I went for a burrito on the way home. So back to a one star. This place is just Pretentious W4nkery, about the same price as a one star Michelin restaurant for worse quality than 'spoons.

Went with my wife and 3yo daughter on a Sunday as heard the roast was good. Considering the poor weather and quiet high street, the restaurant was rather busy and other guests seemed in good spirits, create a cosy ambience from the bitter cold outside. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and the waiter's engagement with our daughter was refreshing. Coffees and drinks arrived swiftly and we were taken through the menu, and ordered the Chicken and Beef Roast. They were well cooked with pinkness throughout the beef (as I ordered). Generous portions left us quite satisfied. Overall a very nice experience. We will be returning!

Chose here for a family Birthday celebration for seven of us. We regularly go to The Ivy in Brighton (exceptional service & impressive professionalism every single time), & had expected the same here but from the (very poor) welcome and directing on arrival, it was a disappointment. Drinks were extremely slow to be offered & even slower to be delivered. It was the same throughout, whereas in Brighton it’s a well oiled, slick & customer focused operation, here it was like a practice run for front of house catering students. There was no evidence of any senior person leading service and whilst the kitchen was sending good food, it wasn’t presented with any sense of care. Lack of attention to front of house detail let the whole thing down. We spent a lot of money for a bit of a sad experience. Wouldn’t recommend it and definitely won’t be going back to this one - the Brighton team win hands down!

We went there for our 64th wedding anniversary. The scallops starter was good but the crispy duck had no duck but plenty of watermelon. The fish and chips were extremely greasy so much so that I left with a sickly greasy feel in my mouth. My local fish and chip shop is so much superior! Staff were attentive to my complaints and took the price of the lacking duck starter off the bill. Very pricy for a very disappointing experience.

A quiet Monday (few tables occupied for lunch). 8 of us booked for 2 o’clock to celebrate our departed Father’s life. There were barely any staff serving. After 15 minutes we had to ask for drinks. Their ‘House Wine’ considering it cost £30 a bottle was really poor. The waiter finally took our food order but then I assume finished his shift, no one took over. Food eventually arrived which to be fair was good - no complaints there. But then not cleared until chased. Again, chased desert menu, took too long and no drinks delivered. Only one member of staff appeared concerned and she had only just arrived for work. No management available or bothered to apologise even though we requested their attention. We should have gone to Côte Brasserie.

We had booked Sunday lunch for my birthday. Unfortunately there was a power failure so we couldn't order any food. We had cocktails whilst we waited to see if the problem could be resolved but this wasn't possible. We couldn't fault the staff they kept us up to date and we had complimentary drinks and a birthday profiterole . They also booked a table at another restaurant for us. Exceptional and charming staff that handled the situation with a thoughtful and professional approach.

Was greeted by the receptionist who argued with me over details with my booking, had a very stuck up attitude. She realised her mistake but no sorry what so ever. Had to wait 15 minutes for our table to be changed yet restaurant wasn’t busy. Waiters were nice. However service very slow, been a few times and each time the restaurant gets worse. Had afternoon tea and no refills yet other ivys you can ? Much better Ivys to go to, avoid this one unless you want to be ripped off.

The menu contains a fair few British food favourites, the beef and lamb shepherd's pie is particularly good, their wine list is good, lots of variety. The service from their waiting staff is attentive and friendly. The main restaurant area is quite noisy due to the central bar area, the Keats Room at the rear is much quieter. If you're having dinner with drinks budget at least £100 per head.

Very disappointing. Pushy and charmless service. Food a mixed bag - chicken good, roast beef was just terrible. That a relatively high end restaurant can serve tough, overcooked, tepid brown strips of meat (stuck together, curling up at edges, presumably from being under a heat lamp) and charge almost £30 is beyond me. When I raised this I was brushed off by my waitress “I’ll pass that on”. No follow up. Robotic service at end “was everything all right?”. Apart from the main course which I’d already brought to your attention, no, it wasn’t. I’ve eaten at several Ivy restaurants and this was a disappointment. Suggest they concentrate on the quality of food over training waiting staff to keep pushing everyone to keep spending. Not coming to this branch again.

Ok, so it's a bit more expensive than a take-away, but you're paying to sit down and eat delicious, crafted food in a lovely environment. I hadn't been here before but the lovely woman I married had, and she recommended it for our date night. I'm glad she did, for 3 reasons; 1 - ambience (relaxed enough, but without letting people get away with tracksuits and such); 2 - decor, it's so nice to eat at tables with proper cutlery, tablecloths and real napkins, and the overall decoration was luxurious without being off-puttingly opulent; 3 - the food, the main attraction does not disappoint, I had the cheese souffle to start (and it was excellent), followed by the truffle burger (just because it took burger form doesn't mean it wasn't delicious). There is ample parking in and around Chichester, we parked in a side street but note there are restrictions in place so read the signs. Plenty of other car parks around as well. If you haven't been to Chichester before, allow yourself extra time to get lost/frustrated on the ring-road and one-way systems.

If you’re going for the festive set menu don’t waste your time or money to say the food was poor would be an understatement. The quality of the food is well below par of what you would expect from the Ivy food was lukewarm at best was sent back to the kitchen as it was all cold my friends ordered the steak this you had to pay an extra £5 to have which when it arrived it was that on a plate a choice of one side £55 for a sorry looking piece of meat! When my meal finally arrived my Friend had to sit and watch me eat as they had long finished. Then the dessert the festive snowman again a supplement of £3.95 for two scoops of ice cream in a white chocolate shell!! Xtra supplements on a Christmas menu!!! This was supposed to be a Christmas treat as a present . The ivy has become all style and no substance! Don’t waste your Money on the Christmas menu’s would have been better of with an M&S Christmas sandwich

Here’s a rephrased version of your review: Sadly, another disappointing experience at The Ivy Chichester. Our first festive meal out, which we had eagerly anticipated, fell far short of expectations. By 5pm on a Sunday, they had already run out of both turkey and Christmas puddings—hardly ideal for a festive menu. The evening was marred by a series of issues. My partner’s first cocktail was mostly ice with barely any actual drink, despite the premium price. To add to the frustration, empty glasses were cleared away without any offer of a refill. When it came to starters, my partner’s arrived, but mine hadn’t even been ordered, leaving us to eat separately. For my main, I ended up with a soggy duck salad instead of the festive dinner I had hoped for. Not the Christmas treat I envisioned and certainly not up to the standards I expected. The manager and my second waiter were both apologetic, which was the only redeeming aspect of the evening. However, with a total bill of £117 (they removed one starter), I can confidently say it was far from worth the money spent on either the cocktails or the food. Next stop Purchases restaurant.

Has The Ivy lost its spark? I totally understand when a place is busy and mistakes with the food/drinks order are made but not to recognise this and apologise for it is remise for a brand of high repute. I appreciate it’s hard to maintain standards across a chain but this level of service for the price of the experience is not acceptable. There’s a tipping point in these situations!

Apareció en un momento tranquilo y fue llevado a una mesa pequeña en medio de seis mesas que estaban demasiado cerca una de la otra. Me senté y vi que la mitad del restaurante estaba vacío. Pero como estábamos atrapados entre otras dos parejas me sentí incómodo pidiendo mudarme. La camarera entonces apretó entre las mesas y básicamente la mitad de su trasero estaba en nuestra mesa! Luego, cuando la pareja a nuestro lado se levantó, el anciano luchó en un espacio tan estrecho y cayó sobre mi regazo (bonito) Al final de nuestra comida pequeña y sobrepreciosa nos quejamos a la chica que nos había sentado y sugerimos que le pidió a la dirección que quitara una mesa para dar a las cenas espacio extra. Ella replicó que el Ivy es de hecho un sostén y por eso las mesas están alineadas así. Trabajo en hostelería así que sé lo que es un sujetador pero la cercanía de las mesas era ridícula. También vale la pena señalar que fuimos testigos de varias mesas a nuestro alrededor quejándose de pedidos equivocados, solo una bolsa de té en una olla y tener que esperar un tiempo para pedidos secundarios. Así que no voy a volver y el personal desinteresado y mocoso también me ha postergado ir a las otras hiedras ahora

PROS - Ambiente encantador, camarera muy agradable, muy buena comida. CONTRAS - Me preguntaron si me gustaría una salsa con mi filete y elegí el grano de pimienta verde. Si hubiera leído el menú completo habría sabido que era de £ 4. 25 ! Una olla de salsa en miniatura por £ 4. 25 - ridículo y bastante risible en realidad. El omnipresente 12. 5 % construido -en cargo de servicio- cuántos comensales pedirían alguna vez que se borrara (si fuera necesario ) sin vergüenza. Muy pocos restaurantes franceses aplican esto. Pequeños detalles quizás pero suficientes para hacerte sentir que te están ordeñando por cada centavo y suficientes para estropear ligeramente una velada por lo demás agradable.

Dropped in for lunch with my wife and we had a burger and a chicken Milanaise which were both pretty well executed and of good quality. The truffled sauce with the chicken was to my taste overpowering but it was served in a separate sauce boat so you could have as little or as much as you want. The chunky chips were nice and crisp and good sized portions. Sticky toffee pudding was also good but the amount of cream a bit on the stingy side as was the amount of pudding for the price. The wine list quite good but a bit overpriced. The decor is very nice and accompanied by a relaxed, up market ambience. I found the menu a bit quirky and finding a suitable dish for lunch a bit harder than it looked at first. Service was pretty good despite it being a very popular and hence busy venue. Overall however I thought the food and drinks overpriced for what you get but it was still a enjoyable, good quality meal.

Typical of The Ivy chain. Lovely decor, good atmosphere. 2 of us went for lunch midweek and it was pretty full, so reservations recommended. We ordered cocktails, some wine, starters and mains from the set lunch menu and dessert and coffee afterwards. We saw the bartender prepare the cocktails and they sat on a tray on the bar for some time. Meanwhile a waitress brought our starters which we asked to be returned to the kitchen whilst we finally enjoyed our drinks. The meal that followed was great, tasty and nicely presented. We then asked for our bill which took over 20 minutes to arrive as our waitress was dealing with a large group who appeared to have ordered all together but wanted to then split their bill to pay for exactly what they had! Frustrating for us but not really the restaurant's fault. A 12.5% service charge was added automatically. I don't like this trend and feel it should be left to the customer's discretion. Overall a pleasant lunch, with a couple of hiccups. Perhaps not the special experience we have had at other Ivy locations.

The Ivy Chichester was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was superb. The elegant surroundings made for a perfect lunch. The service was exceptional, every member of the staff being both attentive and friendly, adding a personal touch to the overall experience. The attention to detail in all aspects was truly impressive from the presentation of the food to the ambiance of the restaurant. Each dish we tried was not only delicious but beautifully crafted, reflecting the high standards they uphold. I loved every moment of it and can’t wait to return!

Beautiful dining experience! We chanced upon The Ivy while in Chichester for the weekend and seeing the positive Google reviews, decided to give it a go. It was quite a busy (and rainy) day when we went, so perhaps that’s why service was on the slow side but everyone was always friendly and very welcoming. We found the prices and portions very reasonable, food was delicious and beautifully presented too. Definable a place to return to!

The food was nice but the service was very slow. There were 5 of us and we were in here over 2.5 hours, on a Monday evening. Our starters came out before the drinks which was 15-20 minutes from ordering. The bill was incorrect and I have no idea how because we all had the set menu. We came for a birthday celebration and had added a note to the booking about this but nothing was done until we asked which was disappointing. All round the poor service experience outweighed the food and atmosphere. I would not rush back.

Not been to Chi Ivy before (London restaurant is a different atmosphere). Pleasant and quirky decor... very nicely done. Great service - almost too quick. It wasn't busy, but they got us in and out pdq. My host hadn't finished her meal but nearly had it whipped away! The food quality was excellent - hot, fresh, pleasantly presented, and lightening fast. V expensive.... limited zero alcoholic beverages.

I booked dinner at The Ivy Chichester for our 5th wedding anniversary. I've never had a bad meal/experience and have visited 4 locations so far. As expected, this was yet another fabulous evening. The team went above & beyond. Service was impeccable and they made the occasion feel even more special buy wishing us a happy anniversary with a lovely little pudding as an extra treat. We felt very well looked after. The food & drinks were so yummy. Atmosphere was perfect. It was a busy Friday night but didn't feel it as the service was speedy yet very attentive. Thank you very much for such a lovely evening! We will be back.

Lovely spot overlooking estuary. Busy service. No parking left so had to park up the road. Service was very slow between courses. Starters of mackerel and short rib delicious. Scans main was disappointing as tasteless. Thought it expensive lunch for what we had, paying for the location

Amazing food. Great service. Would highly recommend. Beautiful country pub with amazing atmosphere. Staff were so helpful and friendly. As a family we all had different from the menu and we all enjoyed every mouthful.

Recently visited on a Sunday lunchtime. The kitchen was only open until 3pm and the dining area was fairly full so it's probably best to book ahead. We called ahead to check that the nutroast was suitable for vegans and the staff confirmed that it could be made to a vegan recipe - staff double checked with the chef when we arrived. Food was delicious - the nutroast had a great flavour and texture, and there was a generous portion of roast potatoes. The portion of meat on the pork roast was slightly on the small side, but the giant homemade yorkshire pudding made sure noone was hungry!
