The Ivy Victoria Quarter in Leeds

Very poor overall and completely over priced. Portions are very small also. Go literally anywhere else.

The food is great, the venue is lovely but the staff were incredible, friendly, attentive and helpful.

Visited with friends for a birthday lunch and couldn't fault anything. A perfect day with great friends, lovely food and excellent service.

Very good service, atmosphere and food was very good.

Adam was a really amazing waiter- he was very attentive, knowledgeable and most importantly friendly and smiley, he is a real asset to the Ivy. The food was brilliant too :)

I visited with my daughter for a late afternoon / early tea. We were dressed quite casually after visiting Leeds uni open day and I was worried we would feel under dressed. The staff were lovely and everyone was really nice, not pretentious at all. We really enjoyed the cocktails and food was delicious. It had a buzzy atmosphere and gorgeous décor too. Can’t wait to visit again

Dined over the weekend, the food was amazing not to mention the good atmosphere making my first experience here great. Can’t wait to come again! Can’t write this review without mentioning the amazing service by our waitress Priya, she was so knowledgeable, friendly and attentive she really made our evening special. She is really an asset to the company.

Presentation and ambience and vibes are outstanding. Love the decor and everything from the lighting to the staff uniforms. Food presentation was very visually appealing- loved how the scallops were served on shells with foam. However, the scallops taste wise they weren’t the most tender and I thought the tater tot / creamed spinach combo it was served with was a bit strange. The steak tartare was very heavy on the parsley over the entire surface. Would have preferred more onion or capers as to parsley. The soy glazed cod was a bit salty. But the presentation and vibes made up for the food. Would come back, maybe for drinks at the bar and something small.

Earlier today, I visited The Ivy Victoria Quarter in Leeds with a friend to celebrate her birthday brunch. The online booking system was easy to navigate, and when we were running late, I appreciated the flexibility to adjust our reservation by 15 minutes without any trouble. Having dined at various The Ivy locations before, I often choose it for special occasions as it rarely disappoints - today being no exception. From the quality of the food to the attentiveness of the staff and the overall ambience, everything was faultless. My friend and I both ordered traditional fish and chips from the brunch menu, paired with a mixed berry smoothie and a mango and passionfruit cooler. The wait staff were consistently courteous, checking in to ensure everything was well. I would like to especially thank Declan - the lovely Scouser waiter - who significantly enhanced our visit. He remained friendly, funny, and polite, making us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the meal. Declan’s excellent service truly stood out, and I hope to see him again on my next visit to The Ivy Victoria Quarter in Leeds. Since this was my friend’s first time at any The Ivy branch, I was especially happy that her experience lived up to her expectations. It made the occasion even more special knowing she enjoyed it as much as I did!

Gorgeous food. Great service from very friendly guy. Nice house champagne. Table we sat at was quite close to other tables. Bit squashed. Still fab place to eat though.

Celebrated my birthday here. Had an absolutely fantastic meal with great service

We were served by a lovely man called Steven. Lovely food & lovely atmosphere.

Fabulous decor, food, and atmosphere. Staff were lovely, gave great recommendations, and the food was delicious.

Eating out isn’t cheap so do it properly. What’s the point in settling for substandard when this restaurant excels in all ways.

Good food, fairly basic menu, great service, especially if for a special wvent

Good food, great venue. Very nice staff. Highly recommend.

Food was lovely, although we did have an insect come out of the Berries in our pancakes. This was swiftly replaced. The chairs were slightly grubby and looked like they had food stains on them. This was rather disappointing for the Ivy. Service was excellent, we had a lovely waiter who made us laugh. Food was excellent as always. Lots.of healthy options as well as treats.

A perfectly cooked steak, tender and flavourful. The restaurant’s ambiance was cozy and inviting. From the quality of the food to the exceptional service, everything came together to make it a memorable dining experience. I can’t wait to return!

Could not have had a better experience yesterday. Priya our waitress was absolutely fantastic. She made the dinner so enjoyable. Personable, friendly, thoughtful, funny. It makes such a difference when the service is so fun. Also - the food here is unbelievable. I rate this as one of the best dining experiences we’ve had this year.

From start to finish an absolute fantastic experience. Entrance lobby was welcoming and staff were keen to greet with a smile. Cloakroom service for your coats etc is a lovely touch. Service from start to finish was top notch. Cannot recommend enough. If you enjoy quality ingredients, amazing service and a classy interior this is the place for you.

The ivy is exquisitely funky in design that makes you want to redecorate your own home. Its staff who cater for you are attentive and bubbly however the ladies on reception sadly lacked a personable manner. A young lady who served us made up for that, she was a gem. In terms of value for money, the warm drinks are refillable and they do a menu (£19.17 menu) that I feel is a great deal. Presentation lacked a certain attention to detail but we did enjoy eating there. Thankyou ‘the ivy’ for looking after us.

Lovely 2 course meal, Friendly staff, good atmosphere, not too noisy and we could enjoy our conversation. The wine was very good however it was overpriced for what it was. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I can't rate the food here as we actually left before we had the chance. We arrived this Sunday having booked a table for 4pm for two, we had to bring our 2yr old due to CC issues. We were told this wasn't a problem but had to wait 5 minutes. That's where the customer service stopped. We were not asked if they could take our wet coats, not asked if we would like to go in and wait. We asked! We were then not shown where we could wait so found 3 chairs in the dining area. We were the completely ignored for more than 20 minutes no offer if we wanted a drink no word on the table absolutely nothing. A few frosty stares from one of the women front of house. For an establishment that seems pretty upmarket I was absolutely fuming. I go to many restaurants both "posh" and not so "posh" but never have my family not I been treated as if they didn't even want us there. Restaurants are more than good food it's the atmosphere, the service, the kindness of employees. The food could have been 10/10 but I will never go back.

Nothing changes really, the meal was actually pretty good and not overly expensive, the wine as always IS fairly expensive. We had a waiter named Jamal, and he was very very good, on it, responsive, helpful & working the room nicely…but oh my god, your front of house are and always have been utterly shocking. Uninterested, inattentive, unsmiling, non communicative, basically anwful…its the simplest of things and you are terrible at it and it lets the whole place down. They were terrible “again” when we entered, and when we were leaving. Busy, which they weren’t, is not an excuse. I won’t send a bill for my partner and I saying goodnight to two sets of your guests last night when they looked for some recognition from your desk and none was forthcoming.

The food is decent, and the staff are very good. I was disappointed to learn the smoothie is actually poured from a plastic bottle and not fresh - tasted mediocre. It is expensive here for what it is, but you could argue you are paying for the atmosphere and name. It is spotlessly clean, and I couldn't fault the staff.

When you have a reputation attached to a brand, there is an expectation to behold The decor is the standard consistent style found in many Ivy establishments around the country Although I found this one a lot more relaxed than the others Service was great, all evening - friendly and efficient Where I felt let down was the food You expect the quality of ingredients and attention to the cooking to be better than a Wetherspoons as it is reflected in the pricing - which by the way, is not as high as perceived I’m not a fan of coriander and was disappointed to find it sprinkled in practically every dish - it’s not necessary and ruined my starter The calamari was good tho, but the accompanying salad was a disaster The steak main was akin to a minute steak special that you picked up in a petrol station shop on your way home from work, because they had nothing left and you didn’t fancy ordering a take away It was chewy and full of gristle and the jasmine rice that came with it had as much flavour as rolled up pieces of paper served in a miso soup bowl Would I return….yes, to the one in Cardiff, cos they appear to have a better chef 🫣

Friendly staff, nice vibe overall. Bar staff were really nice and made great drinks, and the fire was also decent. Had some good live music too so can't complain at all!

You have to see it to believe how nice it is in here, stunning drinks - best rum cocktail I had all day in Leeds. A busy place but lots of seating and loads of staff. Decor and atmosphere was brilliant - even the toilets smelt amazing haha!

Lunch ordered fish chips .mushy peas for 2. My food was lovely my friends food was not the fish was over cooked dry and more batter than fish Drinks nice but pricey Did not pay the £12.50 service charge due to bad food.

We opted for the two course meal for £20 each, but the choices not very good and as my friend is dairy free we were told we could mix and match from both the deal menu and the vegan. My fault I tried the vegan burger but it was awful, then charged for every item separately, but the waitress quickly remedied this.

Stunning food and the service was exceptional. We are both coeliac and the dietary understanding was impeccable from all staff members.

Lovely food and amazing service as always. Couldn't give 5 stars on this occasion as area we were seated in was initially overly warm. Cooled down as less busy.

Fantastic place for a special treat it's not cheap but the food is excellent staff were so lovely and helpful

Delicious food and great service.

Everything was excellent, the ambiance, the food, the service. We tried onion soup, cod and chicken all delicious

Today I had brunch with my boyfriend at the Ivy in Leeds and I want to say that I felt as good as every time I go here. The service is very professional, the atmosphere, the food, everything was perfect. I want to thank the waitress for her perfect service and Roberta (manager) for making us feel very good. I confidently recommend Ivy Leeds if you want a 5-star service and a magnificent atmosphere and quality food, you must definitely go to Ivy Leeds. Thank you for everything!🫶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A traditional decoration restaurant with fusion British/Euro meal set. Quality of food is acceptable. The quality of Waiters’ service level as well as their dressing are also conventional.

The food at The Ivy Leeds is amazing, and the staff are super friendly. But they messed up a bit by giving us the wrong menu and charging us extra for chips that were supposed to be included. It felt a bit sneaky. Still, I'd recommend it for a special occasion. Just double-check your bill before paying!

As always the staff can not do enough for you

Amazing place, the food was gorgeous and the staff couldn't do more to help us! I didn't catch the name of the waitress sorry but she was great, very attentive and friendly. There was a delay in our food so some of the table had already eaten most before the rest came but she sorted it quickly and comped our drinks as an apology which was very kind. The desserts were amazing, the chocolate bombe was to die for! Really lovely spot for some lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon!

We had afternoon tea for 4 table was too small for the tea plates the tea was nice but one cup of coffee or tea each, tea was very weak service slow ,we had to condense the plates to make room for tea and coffee

Slightly expensive but worth the money. The food and service were fantastic the atmosphere is great.

Had a wonderful evening for date night from entrance to leaving all the staff were lovely, Emily L was out waitress and couldn't do enough! Got a selection of wines to taste, recommend perfect meal choices, some might say expensive but worth it imo

Excellent atmosphere, food good, service professional

The glass provided with the bottled beer is far too heavy.

I came here for lunch on Saturday with my wife and mother-in-law to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was amazing from the decor to the food we received, didn't notice any wait for the food and the service from Emily was amazing and found it good value as the food was fantastic. Will definitely be coming back.

As regular of The Ivy in Manchester and tower bridge. The leeds restaurant has the high quality standards too. Staff here so helpful and friendly too. Will definitely be visiting more often to the Leeds venue 😊 ☺️

Amazing lunch attention to detail outstanding, great experience

Having dined many times at the original The Ivy London. The new The Ivy Collection is not a patch on the original, service is OK, the food is OK. Not rushing back. Also very pricey for what you get.

Amazing Everything 💞 Service Excellent, Food Excellent, Stunning Restaurant a real experience that I will never forget! ❤️ Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved my surprise birthday meal here. Thank you, hubby 😘 Our server, Adam, was so attentive, helpful, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at ease, like we had been dining here for years. He is a total credit to The Ivy. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend the monkfish and prawn coconut curry, I would have liked to of have more monkfish and or prawns as there were too much sweet potato in this dish for me liking, but that being said the taste, for me was perfect. We will definitely be returning x

Was a little disappointed, food was very ok, service was a little slow forgetting a couple of dishes. For these kind of prices I expect the food to be much better than ok.

Nice food but nothing spectacular Really nice waiter and clean surroundings

It was nice and enjoyed the chicken sandwich and cream scones the most.

Excellent service, beautiful interior and fantastic food. No complaints at all, it was a lovely evening for a celebratory meal

Dubious about the visit, overhyped, overpriced? We chose the 1917 menu (ask for it as it wasn't given), and there are lots of dishes on here from the main menu at a set price. Rabbit croquettes and Ivy shepherds pie. Then, on the second night (yes , we went twice!) rabbit croquettes and the steak and chips. Food on both nights was outstanding, and the service was excellent, impeccable on the first night from the server, Emily? Overhyped - the brand works, and it was delivered well. Overpriced - drinks, yes to fit the ideal food, no! We will definitely try the local Ivy in Cardiff to see if values are upheld!!

A lovely setting for dinner, with attentive staff but the portion size for the price is ridiculous. I had two courses of average quality food - there was pieces of gristle in my Shepherds pie - and I had to go get pizza afterwards as I was still hungry & I won't start on the 12.5% surcharge !

Beautiful venue and the food was amazing as always. Really baby friendly which is really nice. Lovely friendly attentive staff.

If your looking for a meal don’t bother it’s more style over substance

Came for afternoon tea with a friend and everything was great. One tiny thing I wish they served decaffeinated tea!

Staff were great . Trifle was amazing .

Lovely staff. I’m just writing this review to say how lovely all the staff were at the Leeds Ivy. It was a wonderful experience, just wanted to give them all a mention. Well worth the tip.

I love going to the ivy ,always great service.attention to detail on everything.my criticism is recently they have change and shrunk their menu and specials are not adventurous enough.I have been to ivy more than 20 times,even I had couple of poor experiences I will still go back.

Booked here for me & my mam as we had a day trip in Leeds. We weren’t disappointed we sat outside & shown to our seat. The staff were very attentive especially Matt who made some recommendations from the menu. We chose good from the 1917 menu. Starter bang bang chicken Salmon with avocado & pesto Mains pan fried haddock spicy tomato salsa quinoa & a side of creamy spinach. Dessert chocolate bombe Amaretto coffee 2x gin & tonic Food & drinks delicious Would highly recommend coming here

Really lovely place. I think our waiter was called Dimitri and he was an absolute angel. Went for my birthday and he brought out a dessert with a candle and a chocolate that said “happy birthday”. Really beautiful place and amazing food. The smoked salmon and haddock fishcake was phenomenal.

A great place, for a special meal with the ones you love. The setting is a balance of themed art on the walls with style added from the furniture to the lighting. The team look after your needs with measured aplomb. The food adds that special something to perfectly wrap up your experience.

We had a lovely family meal after our Grandsons graduation. Good choices on the menu for our mixed age family.

Came for Afternoon Tea. Not good value for money,very few sandwiches and savoury bits,all sweet items. Needs to be a choice of either savoury or sweet.

Great meal for my brother’s graduation. Stephen was excellent. Attentive polite and made us laugh - a real credit to the restaurant. Will definitely be returning

We had our daughter's graduation meal at the Ivy, the atmosphere service and food were excellent, the waitress that served us recently graduated from Leeds university as well, we all had a nice few minutes chatting, just little things like that made a memorable day more special. There were other proud parents with graduates having celebrational meals it was a lovely atmosphere.

An incredibly nice meal. Really nice staff. We had the brunch which was £24.95 per person, we thought it was great value for essentially 3 courses. We will definitely go again.

I don't normally leave reviews ....Sat 13/7 Dinner for 5 .... 7pm 85th Birthday celebration.... Arrived at 7pm . Didn't get starters until 7.50pm.... 2 bottles of wine both pretty average yet still £30 !! One was a Australian Shiraz with 11% ABV ??????? Other was a Rose - equally poor.... When the starters arrived 3 were cold ! Complained and to be fair they said they would reflect this in the bill. Mains ok but my Monkfish curry was "warm" not hot.... Yes we got a free pudding for our 85 year old..... been here many times but last night was a big disappointment in terms of the food and wine .... we got a discount but not the evening we were all hoping for..... not sure we will return in the future

My recent visit to The Ivy Leeds was a delightful experience. The service was exceptional from the moment we arrived, which justifies the higher prices, especially considering its city center location. The food was good, though it feels like you’re paying more for the outstanding service. The staff were incredibly attentive and professional. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, and even the toilets are surprisingly beautiful. Despite the high prices, the overall experience makes it worthwhile. Highly recommended

I absolutely love this place! It's the best choice for an afternoon tea, offering a cozy atmosphere, delightful sweets, and exceptional service. Highly recommend!

Great food, service and atmosphere, same as always

Great brunch - no reservation, seated immediately despite being a Sunday morning. I had eggs Benedict - delicious. My mom had a gluten free shepherd’s pie and it was delicious as well. We also had bottomless coffees. I felt it was a good value for the money. The bathroom was luxurious as well. My mom and I actually felt a bit reminded of the time we ate a great meal at the Irish pub in Disney springs and this was far better. I’m not sure what exactly brought it to mind aside from the shepherd’s pie, but it’s one of those places that feels a little like you’ve stepped into a fairytale along the way. Dress is smart casual, so don’t wear sports gear or pj’s.

My daughter and grandson sat outside in the sunshine with lovely cocktail and coffee it was delightful the staff superb the toilets and entire building superior

It was very good. I added the Tomato Soup and Fish Chips and mushy pea. I love it. thank you. Very good service very helpful and I love the food. Well, go back again.

Lovely meal and staff were amazing especially Stephen our waiter. Nothing was too much trouble much prefer this experience to the upstairs restaurant as nothing as ever been too much trouble.

Visited here twice now and both times the food and service have been excellent. Lovely cream tea at The Ivy. We were each served our own pots of tea and offered further pots of tea if we wanted them. Both of us received our own trays with 3 scones, jam, cream and fresh strawberries. We were asked if we required more jam or cream, we didn't there was plenty. My second visit was for lunch, 3 courses. The food was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. Would visit again.

Service here is top notch and the food is incredible!

Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Some of the best in recent memory.

Thought I would treat myself today. Had been to The Ivy a while ago and had really enjoyed the food - so I was looking forward to this visit. It was quiet - no problem being shown to a table. The back cushions really, really comfortable. I opted for the salmon, with broccoli, pink peppercorn hollandaise sauce and a side of green beans. The food arrived. Although I prefer al dente veg I had to ask for a steak knife to cut the broccoli! The salmon was ordinary. Nothing 'special' in any way. The sauce was cold and no taste - some peppercorns had been sprinkled on the top. When asked if the meal was OK, I said it was obviously edible but it was nothing special. The Manager said they could prepare another salmon. I don't like wasting food so declined the offer. I would also add the food soon lost its heat. The Manager offered a dessert as a gesture of goodwill which I accepted and opted for the trifle. This was well presented and pleasant to eat. However, it again was ordinary. The bill was adjusted - the dessert was 'on the house' - and no charge for the side. The members of staff were very considerate and the venue is lovely. The food, I had expected exceptional, instead just ordinary. Very disappointed.

Went to celebrate a friends 50th over the weekend. 10/10 to our lovely waitress Nuala

Really nice staff service brilliant design inside is lovely food we had was really good adaptable to children did not mind making plain pancakes for my child which is really good did not mind my child's mess

Perfect, just perfect service. Guys bravo 👏 The food is really tasty. I really liked the atmosphere🥰

First time.great experience… staff very attentive and the surroundings luxurious - feel like transported to Dubai … Went for the afternoon set menu … exceptional value and taste … quality!!! Only gripe offered the water without being told £4.95 a bottle and a staff member interviewing at the bar with every word available to hear whilst dining … not professional! Overall a fantastic quality meal and price … 2 course and wine £100

Booked a table for 2 in advance. Upon arrival the staff at reception were lacking personality. We were sat at a table next to the door and buy a roll where staff were squeezing past behind both of us. They were unable to move us so we chose to leave. We received a email confirming cancellation of the table, I guess so we were unable to leave a direct review. Luckily able to get a walk in at an independent restaurant who advised they often have customers go to them for this same reason. The table that is by the door should just be removed.

There literally, isn't anything to not love here. First class service, first class food and all in a great environment. 100%

Lovley restraunt, food was excellent, service was fantastic 👌

Lovely food, lovely waiter, lovely anniversary, thank you Ivy.

Misleading price on the website, expected to pay £29.95 paid £32.95 I phone up to complain and was told that is the price. Not a happy customer

We throughly enjoyed our experience, shout out to Matt who was a great host! We'll definitely come back again!

Matt thank you for providing the best service! Your attention to detail and friendly demeanour made our dining experience truly exceptional would love to come back very soon cheers mate

I had the truffle arancini and thick cut chips and creme brulee really nice and very friendly and helpful staff would definitely recommend it

Eggs royal fantastic beautiful salmon fantastic service especially from the french waiter, very polite great experience would definitely go again

Great service delicious food beautiful surroundings...will be back soon !

Hallo..not a great experience I'm afraid .staff very nice waiting on the tables .not so accommodating on the arrival area.i brought my Canadian cousin for afternoon tea ..we arrived early and turned away we could have had a coffee and waited it was 3 o clock on a Monday afternoon so not particularly busy .the afternoon tea arrived instead of the green drink yak! And the drama of the steam bowl perhaps another sandwich or some other savoury item 2 tiny sandwich not very good .the sweets not great and scones very dry ..on the whole not a good visit..had lunch there a few times always very nice but I'm afraid not this time .

My recent visit to The Ivy in Leeds left me somewhat disappointed. Despite its reputation, the experience didn't quite meet expectations. We arrived promptly for our 12:45 pm lunch reservation and opted for an outdoor table to soak up the sunshine. While the food lived up to the Ivy's renowned standards, the service fell short. Initially, things seemed promising, but as time passed, we found ourselves having to flag down staff for drink refills and other requests. There was a noticeable lack of personal engagement from the waitstaff, giving the impression of robotic service. In the realm of hospitality, one would expect attentive service to be a top priority, but it seemed lacking here. Perhaps the indoor section received more attention, leaving those outside feeling neglected. Our subsequent dining experiences over the weekend at other establishments further underscored the importance of value for money. Despite their slightly prices, they delivered exceptional service alongside delicious food, highlighting the expectation that a higher price tag should come with higher service standards. The Ivy Leeds, you have some room for improvement. Regrettably, I won't be returning anytime soon.

We were promptly shown to our table. The waiter was very kind and efficient. Cocktails were wonderful. The food was amazing with portions that were just right. Ambience was great. Good value for money. Cocktail, starter, main came to £55. We did splash out on a £60 bottle of wine too though.
