My first visit and absolutely loved it the minute I walked in. Other half has been before and her recommendation was bang on. Love the decor, art deco with bold and eclectic stand outs. Staff were excellent and discreet but knowledgeable and very accommodating to small requests on food choices. As it was lunch time we had the 3 course set menu which was superb value..5* standard and delicious....wine prices very fair at what ever level you wished to pay. Return booked already. An excellent day out in Oxford made special without busting the bank...
A wedding gift for me and my wife for afternoon tea. It did not disappoint! The place was beautiful and the afternoon tea was incredible! Very good amount per person to which left my wife and I very satisfied. Would definitely recommend going to the Ivy! 11/10
Justin and Yulia were so lovely and attentive, it's the first time I feel like it's totally worth paying a service charge! The food was so good as well and not super expensive. We were so full after the brunch, couldn't finish everything actually.
We also got lil dessert because we were celebrating my partner's new job!
We'll definitely be back 👍🏼
Lovely place for a lunch. The menus are simple but amazing flavours. Highlight was butternut squash & sage soup and the truffle & Parmesan chips!
At 24 quid for a three courses meal there’s value to be had. The mackerel rillettes was nice as a starter. The Haddock was cooked just perfectly but I found the tomato salsa and herb sauce a bit underwhelming. I wish the sauce could bring more dimensions of flavors over the fish. The one that truly disappointed was the Madagascan Vanilla Cloud which was highlighted on the menu. I tasted little vanilla on the ice cream nor yuzu on the sauce. So it was mostly left with just caramel over a chocolate brownie. I do have to praise the servers who have done an excellent job.
We happened to stumble across The Ivy while walking through Oxford. We had the afternoon tea and the experience was great. All the staff were well presented and very friendly. The food and drinks were great and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.
Lovely brunch with daughter and friends. First time going, and it was lovely. Bit swanky, but the food and service were fab. I'll keep this for special occasions in the future as a tad pricey.
Lovely brunch place, well decorated and friendly staff. I really enjoy their Eggs Benedict. Will go in the evening next time I'm in Oxford to try dinner and cocktails.
Only downside: only 1 functional washroom
I loved every moment and meal of this place. Hopefully I'll be able to eat there again! Also got engaged there, so it'll be an experience I'll remember forever 😍✨
Absolutely stunning art deco interior. Really beautiful, one of my favourites in the last few years and probably one of the nicest washrooms I have ever been in! Nice greeting at the door. The food was very good and comparitively, for such a nice venue in this location, reasonably priced. My only negative is that we felt rushed through the meal, I wanted to enjoy my time there and take it all in so I found the waiting staff possibly a bit too efficient. Nice post dinner cocktail at the stunning bar. Great music and ambience.
