We had such a lovely afternoon last weekend having afternoon tea! We were warmly welcomed and then taken to the bar, as our table wasn’t ready. However it wasn’t long before we were lead to our table. It was at the back of the restaurant and we had a good view of the rest of the area!
We gave our order and the food came fairly quickly! The arrival of the food was enchanting as there were smoke covering it! We were then given an explanation of each tier!
The food was delicious and fresh and really enjoyed the moment! We were also given complimentary refills of hot drinks!
All in all, a really lovely experience!
Visited for lunch and found it to be a very busy energetic restaurant. Was virtually full on arrival. Service is superb, quick and efficient. Food is very good but has some big competition in York, so lots of nearby restaurants serving equal and better food.
Decor is nice inside, and atmosphere vibrant. We enjoyed it overall but a bit on the expensive side for some dishes. The cheese soufflé was gorgeous!
We went to The Ivy for a family meal and had such a lovely time. Our server Seb was very attentive and friendly. The food was amazing, highly recommend the duck salad to start and the Provence martini cocktail was delicious! Definitely go if you’re in York!😊
Some of the best food I've ever eaten. Lovely and clean everywhere. Will definitely visit again.
I had the vegetarian option off the set menu, the brownie and vanilla cloud dessert, and a cotton candy cocktail.
Fantastic all round. Great atmosphere, the service went above and beyond and the food divine. Would highly recommended and would visit again. The price wasn't any dearer than some of the chains of brewers in our home town of Milton Keynes.
We went as a party of four for my daughters 21st, the food was beautiful and well presented and our waiter (Sam Thorp) was very friendly and attentive and really made the evening special. We were well looked after and they made a fuss of my daughter on her 21st, which was lovely. We will definitely be back, I can't wait!
Came across The Ivy by accident while looking for a breakfast place in York City centre. We were greeted by a friendly member of staff who found us a table straightaway.
I went for the pancakes while my husband chose the eggs benedict. We were served by a lovely waitress who was extremely attentive and chatted with us about our plans for the day which was great.
The pancakes were a delight- light, fluffy with fresh cream and berries and the Berry compote alongside was beautifully tart. My husband said the eggs benedict was delicious too.
The decor of the restaurant is beautiful and would be a fabulous place for cocktails or a celebration dinner. A real treat.
Lovely lunch here. I really wanted to have lunch outside in the square as there was a great busker, and it was such a nice day. When we arrived, the outside tables were taken, so we waited at the bar for an outside table, which the FOH staff arranged as promptly as possible. Really good service throughout. I'd never normally opt for a burger at the Ivy, but it was just what I wanted that day, and it was great. My partner had the steak tartare, which I'd had previously, and was very happy. Lovely interior as ever. I think the prices here are very reasonable considering the quality of service and surroundings.
The salmon served in various ways from Royal Eggs Benedict to Salmon in black bread was very fresh, flavorful, and wonderful in color. Eggs were properly served. Servers were pleasant and good once found, but hard to find. Bright and cheery atmosphere
Loved our lunch today. Fast and friendly service and great food. We were lucky enough to get a table outside in the sun without booking.
