The Ivy Spinningfields in Manchester

There was a lot of hassle over getting the things on our breakfast dishes, it was called something like Ivy Special breakfast, that they forgot sausages or tomatoes. Staff graciously took the cost of the extra items they forgot off but I'd expect more from the fine dinning experience. The pastries that came with the breakfast didn't taste fresh and I absolutely loved the berry smoothie. The interior is one of a kind, absolutely adore the bathrooms but it's not my style and don't plan to return.

Just had a fab dinner at the Ivy manchester . Great food and served beautifully by George and Claudia. Thank you very much everyone.

Ivy Asia Manchester is a disgrace to the restaurant industry, a tacky facade that uses its Instagram-friendly interior to hide an overpriced, chaotic mess. Behind the glowing fancy signs and fake glamour lies rude staff, frozen supermarket-quality food, and one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Despite it being a quiet day – with far fewer diners than you’d expect for a place charging these prices – the staff were still failing miserably. We were ignored at the door for ages while employees wandered past pretending not to notice us. When we were finally seated, things went from bad to worse. Our waitress, a short, obnoxious ginger woman, couldn’t have been less interested in doing her job. Every question about the menu was met with exaggerated sighs or eye rolls, making us feel like an inconvenience. Meanwhile, the managers scurried around like headless chickens, laughing and chatting among themselves rather than addressing the disorganized chaos. Then came the food – a parade of disasters. The gochujang glazed fried chicken was borderline inedible: rubbery, clearly not fresh, and drowned in a cloyingly sweet glaze that tasted more like artificial honey than the spicy-savory kick of real gochujang. Honestly, I wouldn’t have fed it to my worst enemy. The chicken skewers were even worse: dry, stringy, and utterly flavorless, served with a sad excuse for a dipping sauce that tasted like watered-down soy sauce mixed with old ketchup. It’s almost impressive how flavourless they managed to make something so simple. The black cod, which Ivy Asia seems to think is a signature dish, was laughable. Overly oily and drowned in a glaze so salty it burned my mouth, it arrived lukewarm and felt like it had been reheated in a microwave. I’ve had better cod from cheap takeaways. The so-called premium wagyu Denver steak was the biggest insult. At nearly £50, I expected something tender and flavorful, but what I got was chewy, bland, and clearly not genuine wagyu. There was no marbling or buttery texture – just a gimmicky label slapped on a below-average cut of meat. By the end of the meal, I felt physically ill – and not just from disappointment. The next day, I had full-blown food poisoning: stomach cramps, nausea, and everything in between. This isn’t just bad food; it’s food that makes you regret eating it for days afterward. Even the drinks were terrible. My £15 cocktail looked pretty but tasted like watered-down syrup, more fitting for a budget all-inclusive resort than a so-called luxury restaurant. The atmosphere didn’t help either. Despite being quiet, the restaurant was chaotic. The deafening music, disorganized staff, and clattering plates made the place feel more like a nightclub than a high-end dining experience. It was migraine-inducing from start to finish. In short, Ivy Asia Manchester is all style and no substance. They charge absurd prices for low-quality, frozen food, served by rude, clueless staff in a gaudy, chaotic setting. Save your time, money, and stomach – avoid this place at all costs. This was, without a doubt, the most insulting dining experience of my life.

La experiencia fue genial, el precio del té de la tarde era ridículo, la cuenta era de £ 100 para el té de la tarde para dos con una copa de vino cada uno, y básicamente una rebanada de pan cada uno cortado de lujo y cuatro pasteles y dos bollos cada uno,

The pre show meal in the Asian was excellent value & more than enough food. There was limited choice, as there were two of we decided on one plate of everything to share. It was a great choice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visited The Ivy in Manchester on a Thursday afternoon in November 2024, with a table booked for 3:00 PM. I went with my wife, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Parking was convenient at the nearby NCP car park, making it easy to get to the restaurant. Upon arrival, I requested the vegetarian menu and opted for the spiced olives as a starter, followed by a whipped plant-based cream and candied pecan salad. For the main course, I chose the plant-based vegan cheeseburger, which came with pickles, red onions, sauce, and perfectly cooked thick-cut chips. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. My wife enjoyed the robata-grilled chicken skewers to start and then had the turkey ballotine, which was wonderfully festive with apricot, cranberry, and pork stuffing. She was equally impressed with her choices. For drinks, I had sparkling water, while my wife indulged in a Peach & Coco Mai Tai cocktail, which she described as a fantastic balance of flavours. The restaurant was very busy, but the service remained prompt and efficient. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. The décor was elegant and upmarket, creating a luxurious atmosphere. Accessibility was also excellent, with good wheelchair access and an accessible toilet that was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The bill came to just under £120, which I felt was excellent value given the quality of food, service, and overall experience. If you haven’t visited The Ivy in Manchester yet, it’s definitely worth trying. The variety of menu options and overall quality make it well worth a return visit!

The food was amazing i really enjoyed We were served by a wonderful waitress called Jessica who made the evening one to remember

For a special meal, this is a great venue, not cheap, though. Nevertheless, there are reasonably priced options available on the menu butI get drawn from them, but I am never let down! The staff make you feel special while remaining friendly.

Nice restaurant. A little pricey but good food and service. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The only thing that was annoying is the menus very small text hard to read, especially with dim lighting, but would recommend a visit.

Everything was amazing loved it and special thanks to Dean brilliant customer service

Table for two & squashed in between two big tables not happy to say we had book. food good but pricey & service excellent. drinks absolute rip off a little can of beer almost £7 which would of probably cost them 70p I'm not tight but I'm not stupid things like that don't sit right. Pretentious

The Ivy in Manchester is een prachtige locatie met een unieke sfeer. Het restaurant biedt een uitgebreide menu met verfijnde gerechten, perfect bereid en prachtig gepresenteerd. De cocktails zijn creatief en heerlijk, en de bediening is uiterst professioneel en vriendelijk. De stijlvolle inrichting maakt het een ideale plek voor zowel een gezellige lunch als een chique avond uit. Een absolute aanrader voor wie Manchester bezoekt en houdt van kwaliteit en klasse!

Muy sobrevalorado Vivir de su nombre ( persona ) Frío , olor a polvo En el aire ( como cuando empujas una aspiradora sobre llena alrededor , limpiando después de una fiesta El menú es decepcionante , nada con factor tiro . La comida en sí , no mejor que una comida de microondas pinged . Nos sentamos arriba en el restaurante del jardín, hacía frío y cansado. Me temo que este lugar está ahora en una espiral descendente y necesita una revisión seria tanto en la cocina como en el suelo. Hay mejores lugares en Manchester por el mismo dinero.

For a 2 course meal and a drink. Burger was nice but I feel it lacked a bit a of flavour. Service was literally amazing

The food and service here is always excellent

Stunning restaurant with a great, relaxed atmosphere. A wide variety of small sharing dishes which were all just incredible and the service was impeccable. Visiting as a birthday treat and received a delightful little birthday cake, which was a lovely special touch. A memorable dining experience and will be sure to visit again.

Reservamos tu restaurante en la azotea de Spinning fields para nuestro aniversario de bodas en Sapphire 11 - 11 - 24 Todos los años volvemos por nuestros cumpleaños o aniversario. Reservamos a través de mesa abierta y nos preguntaron si era un evento especial para el que rellenamos una casilla y también nos preguntaron a la llegada a nuestra mesa si estábamos celebrando algo. Los cócteles eran buenos y el vino también. Sin embargo, la lubina de mi esposa fue decepcionante, ya que la cantidad de puré de papa era una guarnición en lugar de una porción. Esto fue señalado al camarero después, quien dijo que por eso recomendamos una guarnición adicional. Esto no se señaló en el momento de la toma de órdenes. Sólo pedimos un postre de trufas de chocolate. Éstos fueron “aplastados” de forma poco atractiva en un plato de vidrio diminuto sin presentación alguna: ¿seguramente hojas de menta, una fresa o un poco de azúcar glas no habrían sido demasiado difíciles, para que parecieran atractivos? ¡Estoy seguro de que podrías hacerlo mejor! Esperamos 10 minutos para ver si llegaba un postre de cortesía pero no vino nada así que nos dieron la cuenta y nos fuimos Nos arruinó un día especial. También contacté con su correo electrónico de quejas pero nadie me ha respondido.

The Ivy es un lugar impresionante, ya sea solo para bebidas o para comida y bebida. Comimos allí por primera vez esta semana, el personal es encantador, los restaurantes en sí son hermosos. Muy recomendable

Beautiful place, but we experienced cold and inedible food, no check back, and drinks left on the bar for 10 minutes, which we then just collected ourselves. When asking for cold food to be replaced, we received more cold food. It took a good 40 minutes to be able to talk with the manager, who sent staff over with offers of free desserts and drinks. It was very quiet, and there seemed to be no reason or explanation as to why they weren't on point. Very disappointing experience in all. Please do better to reflect your price point. You should be top-notch, and you're miles away.

This was my first visit to The Ivy in Manchester. I knew what to expect as I have visited all the London ones . Fantastic service from start to finish. Just a pity that the building is purpose built so sadly hasn't got the same old period features as London restaurants (Ilove art decor) Will definitely visit again as the food is amazing! Thank you to all at THE IVY MANCHESTER

Best restaurant hands down in Manchester

Great fantastic food somewhere different than usual too notch

Well was looking forward to this and it was a disappointment. Had the 2 course deal ..vegetarian curry ..very nice ...desserts a let down ..chocolate brownie needed a hammer and chisel .wnt be back unfortunately

We ordered the buffalo mozzarella for starters and for main we got the ivy burger with cheese and the fillet steak both were very delicious 👏🏼 the topped with delicious dessert the chocolate bombe ♥️

Very nice afternoon there Staff very helpful and friendly

The Ivy Manchester is a stunning dining spot that truly delivers on both style and substance. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by beautiful decor and a vibrant ambiance that makes every visit feel special. The space is thoughtfully designed with lush greenery, colorful artwork, and a luxurious atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming. The menu offers a fantastic range of dishes, with options that cater to every taste. Whether you’re in the mood for classic British fare, a seafood dish, or something more adventurous, The Ivy has it covered. I tried the shepherd’s pie, and it was incredible—rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The truffle arancini is also a must-try starter, and their desserts are as beautiful as they are delicious. Service at The Ivy is top-notch. The staff are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, happy to make recommendations and ensure you have everything you need. The drinks menu, especially the cocktails, is creative and beautifully presented, adding an extra touch of indulgence to the experience. Overall, The Ivy Manchester is perfect for a special occasion or simply a luxurious meal out. The combination of excellent food, impeccable service, and stunning atmosphere makes it a true gem in the heart of Manchester. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous aesthetics. Excellent wine list, food good but missing a wow factor. Service attentive.

Stunning surroundings, amazing food, and impeccable service. A faultless experience all round. Also, the loos were the most indulgent I have ever seen. I loved it!!!

Absolutely wonderful experience both my daughter and I had today. The ambience of happy people celebrating Happy occasions was electrifying. Wonderful attentive service from reception to our waiter Alfie. Can not wait to do it again. Thank you ♥️

Lovely service. Food was good but hated paying for all sides separately. Good for a treat.

This is a beautiful place. We didn't eat on this occasion but have eaten here previously and loved the food. However, the service borders on the rude. My friend and I both had a glass of champagne. The waitress asked if we wanted to open a tab. We said we didn't. She then proceeded to print out the boll and shove it between our faces as we were chatting. The last time we were here, we had to wait for our drinks as the 2 waiters played rock, paper, scissors over the tip they had been left. It's such a shame.

I come here only for special occasions and have always been treated so nicely. The food was great as always and the service provided by Gabriele was above and beyond! Only downside was the music, a bit too loud and I couldn’t really engage in conversation. Amazing otherwise and will be back :)

This was the best food I have had in a while . There chicken is halal APART from the chicken gyoza/ meat. The staff were super kind and friendly and soo informative about the timing of the food , asking how we are , making me feel special on my birthday ( I wish I came here on my birthday day instead of going to sexy fish MCR which was horrendously overpriced and disgustingly bland with the food/ slow service, I am so glad this restaurant made up for it the day after ) This was sooo worth the price . The meal sizes are great !! I honestly can’t fault it as an Asian woman my self I really appreciate the flavours of the food , kind staff/ quick service / beautiful presentation and the ambience and beauty of this place. I can not fault anything ! The drinks were sooo good!!!!! Thankyou so much .

Does everything excellently. The only downside is because its so good its often booked up.

Noisy, ripped off with service charge. Not told it was discretionary.

Poor experience. Ordered a steak with green beans and peppercorn sauce with an old fashioned. My steak arrived and nothing else, waited 5 minutes, still nothing. Told the waitress, waited another 5 minutes for my missing items. By this time my steak was cold. The steak was full of fat and gristle. Come to the bill and they tried to double charge for the peppercorn sauce. If I’m ordering a relatively expensive steak I’d expect everything to arrive at the same time and a bill to be checked before bringing it out to me.

We had drinks at the bar, then made our way to the restaurant. The whole experience was lovely. The servers George and Sarah were so friendly and helpful, George said he really enjoys working here, it's like a big family. The food was excellent with plenty of choice. Fantastic roof terrace, great private rooms for functions and privacy, toilets were stylish.

George, our server, was incredible. It was our first time at The Ivy, and he had a vast knowledge of both the food and drinks menu. It helped us choose what we wanted and not over/under ordering food as some items you need to order a side. I've heard it is extremely busy and hard to get a table on evenings and weekends, we were the at lunchtime and it was reasonably quiet, easy to be served and nothing rushed. Food was incredible, Service brilliant and overall very impressed. I would highly recommend trying it out, I hear the afternoon teas are fantastic so I may have to book in again.

Beautiful, very elegant and chosen decoration. Menu of sufficient dishes. I loved the fish and chips, nothing like other places. Good wine list and exquisite desserts. Very friendly and attentive service.

Very nice and clean. Just a positive environment from the moment you walk in. The staff are so helpful and polite. I would defo give 5 stars only reason for less was not enough halal options, apart from that would defo recommend.

Beautiful environment great food

We had the 1917 menu. The starters were excellent comprising of salmon rillette and grilled chicken skewers. As for the main courses, the shepherds pie was to die for but unfortunately the pan fried chicken was overcooked. This made the chicken very fiberous, tough and a bit dry. Portions were a little on the small side but otherwise it was a very enjoyable meal. I would recommend this place.

Had a birthday meal here and wow loved every part. The food, the service and atmosphere all perfect

Went for lunch at the Brasserie. Food was excellent and service was brilliant too.

Visited with the whole Family. Atmosphere is ok Staff were on point but the food is dreadful! Overpriced for what is a microwaveable menu.

We had dinner in the private room. The food was delicious. Couldn't sample the seafood but my substitutes were wagyu steak which was cooked to perfection. If you haven't been take a friend and go. Absolutely delicious.

Had lunch with my Daughter today at the Ivy Spinningfields Manchester . We opted for the Autumn Menu .. Receptionist very welcoming , and decor amazing . Very pleasant , and smartly dressed Staff . Meals served in a timely manner . Food absolutely delicious,and the atmosphere made it a fantastic experience. Would definitely book again .

Lovely place, staff are lovely Ordered a burger the bun was so hard I couldn't cut it. Burger and the chips was lovely.

Always a great experience and excellent staff.

I had the best experience in Manchester so far. The food was stunning and the staff were super friendly and kind.

We had fabulous time for our Daughter and Son in law wedding in September it was beautiful ❤️

My partner and I walked in the neighborhood, I was impressed by the decoration of this restaurant. We checked the rating in google maps, it was well rated too. So, we went to ask the reception whether we can eat there in the evening. We were told that it was fully booked, but the receptionist told us to come back and check around 19:00 to see whether there are cancellations. We came back and we got a pretty nice table near the window. The receptionist was very hospitable. Inside the restaurant, there are many live plants too, I really like it. The food was well cooked too.

Very nice place, nice style, food and cocktails

We attended a 60th birthday celebration in a private dining room. Excellent food and atmosphere. Tom and Melvin were fantastic waiters. They were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent service. Thank you for a fantastic evening.

The food was lovely but our starter came, our mains then came and we still hadn’t got our drinks that we ordered before we ordered food this isn’t the standard I’d be used to at the Ivy. I felt the food came too fast. The atmosphere and the music were on point so we enjoyed it. The steak supper is great value for money and we will probably come again when back in Manchester, just needed those little things sorting

Chris was our waiter. He looked fabulous, he was our man of many colours with heaps of kindness, caring for our every need from going in to coming out , all whilst being completely professional in his work. He advised on me and my son to share the set menu and so glad we did. Our tastebuds were exploding with the exquisite food that just kept coming , we were in food heaven . Also the visual experience of all the decor was amazing . Our whole evening was magical ✨🤩♥️🙌🫂

Attended on Friday for a work event and the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. The staff were all very friendly, customer service was great. Food tasted delicious, highly recommend their shepherd's pie.

This was my first visit to the Ivy restaurant , although my wife has been to the ones in Leeds and Manchester on several occasions . I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to food (old fashioned , some might say) , so I was slightly sceptical about what would be on the menu . Without actually telling me what was on the menu beforehand , she said she knew 100% what I would pick . Fish and chips and mushy peas please (she smiled) (she was right as always) . All these years I've not gone , all these years missing out on not just fish and chips , but up there in my top five fish and chips . Lovely crunchy batter , fresh white fish , chips done to perfection , and mushy peas to easily match my own award winning mushy peas . So all in all , a lovely place with curtious and friendly staff . Will I go again ? Most definitely . What will I choose off the menu next time ? Same again please 😊

Nice service and food a bit noisy. but a good restaurant i have several times

Wow, they really take great care of you- the whole experience is one of service and style. A great menu delivered impeccably and an atmosphere you could get drunk just alone! Can't wait to go back in a couple of weeks for another celebration!

We had a party of 10 on Saturday 5th October for my wife's 40th birthday. OUTSTANDING IN EVERY WAY!! Food was amazing, and a special shout out to our amazing waiter "Scott" who couldn't have done enough for us. 5 Stars

Very impressed with everything.

We were visiting Manchester for football match and came across the Famous “The Ivy” lucky enough to get reservations while we visiting. Great food, atmosphere, experience, a great value for “A taste of Autumn” with welcome drinks and we add more wine. Will definitely comeback 👍😁

What a place. Such a beautiful place and the food and service were outstanding. Definitely treat yourself.

Beautiful service and a distinctive classic place

Fantastic food brilliant atmosphere great service from Emily and an unexpected anniversary treat at the end of service

Amazing decor, reception by those who work at the entrance, fantastic, then stay there, food not in the same class as the rest, we had to wait quite a while,

Impeccable service! James and Conner went out of their way to make us comfortable, and even surprised us with free dessert to celebrate both of our graduations. It made for a very special and memorable evening!

Thank you to the lovely Csilla who was so helpful with ensuring my booking went well, she explained everything well and had a lovely kind manner. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you

One word.... Divine! 🤭😆 Came for the first time to celebrate my 40th birthday and I was not disappointed. The food and service was amazing, and I recommend the champagne mojito.

Very vibrant,restaurant ,great experience good food,reasonable prices,excellent staff

Great position open garden area . But the woeful service is really bad you have to ask over and over for a drink as the young staff chat amongst themselves or preen themselves . Absolutely full to the rafters with pretentious ten bob millionaires with fake Rolexes . No longer a place to be seen at the IN crowd moved on long ago but now a place for dreamers and fools I am afraid . One positive doorman very good keeps the riff raff out but boy is your service staff poor plus the add on of 12.5% service charge is a joke Highly pretentious place overrated full of ten bob millionaire types with fake Rolex watches playing the big I am . Sorry just poor overpriced nonsense

We were kindly given the use of a private room for our meal because of the size of the party for our work friend's leaving dinner. The room was beautifully decorated, just as you would expect at The Ivy. Our dedicated waitress was attentive and polite, even allowing us to adjust the music (we asked about the volume and were told we could put on our own music should we wish to). Several of us opted for the '1917' menu, honouring the year the first restaurant of the chain was founded, which offered two courses for £19.17. The shepherd's pie was nice but quite small for the price, although this, like the decor, was also to be expected for The Ivy. The chocolate bombe dessert was decadent, rich and very sweet (too sweet for some of our group but not for me!). The lovely waitress also had an extra dessert brought in for our friend and had written 'good luck' on the serving plate: a really thoughtful touch that made the evening personalised and even more memorable. The lower-priced menu is a great incentive for people to treat themselves at this world-renowned restaurant without breaking the bank. Admittedly, I wasn't completely wowed by the food, but the service and atmosphere made up for it.

Got the steak very average, £30 for a bottle of 10% white wine!!!!

The decor to the room building is beautiful, the staff are incredibly friendly and adhered to our dietary needs, definitely a sophisticated place the prices are extremely high! Special occasions only.

Went on rooftop terrace garden for drinks. Good music and good atmosphere, trendy spot.

This place is very overrated and a complete disappointment. We visited for a 20th birthday so it was a special occasion. The staff were absolutely lovely but the food was nothing but an extortionate sham! Unfortunately the chefs do not know how to cook steak and sent them out inedible. The photo opportunities at the front of the restaurant are gorgeous but I can’t say I rate anything else. I would certainly not recommend nor visit again.

Very nice experience, a lovely restaurant, pleasant staff and everyone in my company enjoyed their food

Foods good and the 19.17 menu is a great deal would recommend to anyone who like well made food but for me the drinks are the main attraction and really live up to the hype

Delicious food staff were very attentive.

lovely food and drink as always, we had george as our server and he was AMAZING!! he really made our experience and couldn’t do enough for us!!! thank you george for such a fab time

Granted it was a busy time but we had that usual thing of waiting for 20 minutes for the bill whilst the staff are so busy.. just hire am extra team member and it would have been a nicer experience. Food was decent, the vibe in there is good but when it's busy it's quite loud.

Beautiful brasserie with a vibrant atmosphere, excellent service and hearty food. An absolute must try if you're in the city.

Fabulous food. Wonderful people. Great ambience and decor. Highly recommend.

Lovely birthday breakfast. Great service.

I've been to the original Ivy a number of times...but it was many years ago. I had never visited the Ivy in Manchester...primarily because it always struck me as a bit too flash. The original Ivy was cool because it was understated...located down a side street opposite Leicester Sq tube...with a very low key frontage. The Manchester Ivy is the total opposite...smack bang in the centre of Spinningfields...with a huge entrance flanked by doormen and fire...you certainly can't miss it! However I was pleasantly surprised when I visited for lunch last week. The service and the food were on point...just at the level I remembered from the original Ivy years ago. The only thing I would warn anyone about who is visiting the Ivy for the first time is that while the food is very well made...it is very expensive for what it is. Don't expect Michelin standard cooking...the dishes are relatively simple. For example...the classic Ivy shepherd's pie is probably one of the best examples of the dish I have ever tasted...but it's not the largest portion (enough for me...maybe not for some) and it costs £18. I was there with a friend...and between the 2 of us we ordered the bread and zucchini fries to nibble on...both were great and substantial. I had the shepherd's pie and my friend had a sea bass dish. Both were excellent. To drink we shared a bottle of Nyetimber sparkling wine (£95) and this made up half of our overall bill...£190. Overall I would go back...and I'd recommend it for anyone wanting to celebrate a special lunch or dinner.

I just ate here with some friends for the 1917 meal deal... Great value for money! Food was delicious and excellent quality. The decorating/atmosphere is exceptional, and the drinks are very good. Also, our server Roddy was very nice and attentive. Ive lived in Manchester roughly 8 years and never been here before, but I will definitely be back!

So much hype but customer service isn't great. Had a meal booked for 6.15 but we arrived at 6, they sat us at the bar until 10 to 7 (50mins!!) And we were waiting around the (almost empty) bar for 25 mins before we even got offered a drink, on top of this we got charged a service charge for the drinks when there was a clear lack of any service.

Beautiful decor.. food was yummy

An amazing experience awaits you from the moment you walk in the door. You are greeted by lovely welcoming staff. Shown to your table and your waiting staff go out of the their way to make sure your meal and drinks is 100% perfect! The food is amazing!!! The drinks are amazing!!! After our meal, we went up to the roof top bar - the bar staff were just brilliant & their drink were superb. But over all the staff at The Ivy are absolutely amazing. They all go out of their way to make your experience so special. They are all so friendly and treat you like you matter. I cannot fault The Ivy on anything. It was just all amazing. I can’t wait to book and come back! Thank you all so very much x

loverly night celebrating 44years marriage. Nice food good atmospheres very special

Apart from the fact that the place is beautiful and seduces you from minute zero, the food is delicious (especially the pasta with lobster and the pasta with truffle and cream cheese). And Gabriel's attention, impeccable... A place to return to!

Their afternoon tea tastes amazing. They do offer gluten free and low sugar options. Great tea selection and quality honey.

The staff were attentive and friendly. Beautiful restaurant with a romantic ambience. I love the decor! The 1917 (£19.17) menu offers good value. Food was nice and all round a pleasant experience

I visited with my boyfriend and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. It was amply full but still got the best service and lush food. We will be back.

Absolutely fantastic. Great staff and service. From walking in to leaving. Service was second to none.

I went here for my brother's wedding party. We had a great evening here and the staff were amazing. Beautiful venue in a great location and the food was lovely

Great service and food! Never fails to deliver!! Thx you

We were a party of 6 booked into The Ivy for lunch; a family day out in Manchester. I haven’t been to the Ivy before and I was impressed by the building, the decor, layout and (of course) the toilets. The restaurant was about 1/2 full. I ordered the olives and sourdough, both delicious and served in such a lovely setting, our mood was happy and we were all enjoying the ambience. Waiting staff were okay but have that seasoned waiters’/ celebrity knack of avoiding eye contact, which was a bit disappointing and drinks refills were slow. Three of us ordered the “famous” Ivy Burger, 2 with cheese. This was the problem, there wasn’t a hint of the flavour of cheese on the burger. The waiter insisted there was a cheese garnish but graciously agreed to remove the cost - I swear there was no hint of the taste of cheese, let alone mature cheddar. As for the burger this was the most tasteless piece of meat I have ever eaten. What should have been the tasty centre piece turned out to be a bland, lump of brown ?mince? At best this could be described as a medium for carrying the other flavours; but lettuce, tomato and tomato sauce are not strong enough flavours to rescue that disastrous burger. So meal over, expect an opportunity to give feedback - there is none. The day manager enthused about a discount for frequent Ivy diners club (are there any) glad we all enjoyed ourselves without checking whether we did or not. The diners’ who ordered the beef-burger agreed with me about its tasteless blandness. Nice gold jacket but you are no maître d. I am no chef but I cook better, tastier food than this at home. I would not go there again.

The Ivy is really great and there is the option of the roof garden (which we did not use). The £19.17 lunch menu is exceptional value. Great service and lovely food. Plant based curry is very tasty!
