A friend had a big birthday coming up and the Ivy at Windsor is a safe bet for any special occasion.
Although the table wasn't quite ready, (we were early) we were quickly seated in and drinks order was taken.
Staff were happy to explain items on the menu and make helpful suggestions or advise on which items would go well together.
Although there are several vegetarian options on the main menu the Ivy offers a separate vegetarian and vegan menu if desired.
Great care is taken with the presentation of all dishes and every dish has a wow factor.
We recently went to the Ivy, Windsor for afternoon tea. On arrival we were warmly greeted and taken to our table close to the front window, with a view of the castle.
I love the quirky decor inside, it's very bright and cheerful.
We ordered our drinks and were served our afternoon tea fairly promptly. It makes an impressive entrance with dry ice smoking from the top! The waiter explained the contents and left.
The food was very nice but I personally think a full size cup cake is a bit much for afternoon tea and would have preferred two smaller items.
I would have liked some fresh tea at some point but we didn't see a waiter again until it was time to pay. It was busy in there and may have been an oversight but it would have been nice to have had it offered.
A lovely place for a special occasion though and I would recommend giving it a visit.
Made a lunch reservation at The Ivy Windsor for before a long haul flight from Heathrow. Very courteous friendly service, deserving of the service charge. Food was in line with expectations, drinks were not of the same quality of the food but they did the job. Will be back.
The Ivy never disappoint! Great food and warm space and atmosphere. We ordered pasta and fish and chips, look at the photos and judge yourself ! Price is great for the overall experience
Really love the atmosphere and decor in the ivy! The staff were super friendly and had great recommendations. The menu has some great choices on there between the English and Asian menus. The cocktails were delicious! So was the cheese soufflé to start. I had the chicken Milanese for the main which was ok but quite bland. It is quite pricey but we went here for a treat! It is also wheelchair accessible if you let them know beforehand
Very nice restaurant, wonderfully decorated. The atmosphere is very cosy and warm. Staff were all very friendly and polite. Food was delicious and well presented. We will definitely be going back again soon.
Very pleasant afternoon. Staff polite & friendly. We had afternoon tea & this was presented very nicely. It was a Saturday afternoon, so became quite busy & as we had elderly people in our party,they did struggle to hear waitress sometimes,not a complaint,just an observation if anyone has hearing issues to be aware.
Situated opposite Windsor Castle, it's great for people watching,though if you drive,you may find a parking space close by,hard on really busy days.
We all said we would like to return.
Food is exceptionally good and tasty !! The ambience is awesome, well decorated place and really nice interiors. Zucchini fritters was really crispy and the Malaysian curry was authentic, delicious and tasty. Its a lovely place to have lunch or dinner and you can go for the 3 course meal. Try the mocktails too !!! Highly recommend this place if you are around Windsor 👌👌👌
Had a great meeting with old friends recently and we had afternoon tea. Visually beautiful but could have done with more savoury and less sweet. Also, I hate sultanas in scones. Plain every time for cream tea. The deserts were way too sweet for my taste. Lovely atmosphere, staff were very friendly. Great decor too.

Today, after our son received his MBE medal from Princess Anne in Windsor Castle, we celebrated the event in The Ivy for a late lunch.
The restaurant is located right across the castle and next to the train station. It's a very popular fine dining restaurant. One day we passed by it and wanted to dine in but got no luck finding a table without a reservation. So we reserved our table right away for today's family event.
The restaurant is very fancy inside. It has very nice dining sections, a nice bar and a beautiful lounge area.
For our food, we all loved and enjoyed every dish! Service is great, of course. Every staff is friendly.
It's so far become my most favorite restaurant, I should say. So I strongly recommend it if you feel like for good food in a pleasant dining environment.
