   Ambience, superb service and as ever consistent great food and drinks. I love the reliability of The Ivy in delivering on a great meal and this didn’t disappoint. After dinner, asking for a seat at the bar for a cocktail didn’t disappoint with an amazing end to our day in Glasgow. Thanks!

   In their desire to pack more diners in, The Ivy have put (folding) tables in the private dining room. It is not possible to sit at these without having a table in front of you. Also the tables are back to back with others making it cramped and difficult for guests to get in and out. The food took over 30 mins to arrive and we we told that this was because we asked for 1 steak to be well done! The burger had mayo on it - which was not in the description - which seems nothing big unless you don't like mayo and having waited so long for you food!

   Very busy Saturday evening visit and the staff we great! Our table wasn’t ready so was taken upstairs for a nice drink first. Staff so friendly and nothing too big an ask. Food was phenomenal! Shout out to the fish and chips, it was like a cloud wrapped in crispy batter! Cocktails were delicious. Cannot wait to come back!

   We arrived 15 minutes early for our table unfortunately there were no seats available at the bar so we sat outside for drink. Our waiter was so nice and attentive. Our table was 15 minutes late but we had a lovely time. Our waitress again was so lovely the restaurant was very busy but her service was so good even though she was rushed off her feet. Our food was lovely

   I can’t say enough about the Ivy, Glasgow, this visit was part of our 42nd Wedding anniversary & my Wife’s Birthday which was the next day, when in Glasgow shopping we try too book a table and we’re never disappointed, the food was delicious and our server was polite, courteous and when I asked her a question she was very knowledgeable, this is a beautiful restaurant with great ambience with music quietly playing in the background & the decor outstanding?, shortly after receiving our dessert our server placed two small cakes on our table with Happy Anniversary on them, my Wife was touched, I highly recommend dining at the Ivy in Glasgow if you love good food, service & pleasant ambience, one final point, I’m severely sight impaired and prior to being sat at an accessible table for two I was offered a Braille Menu, although I dont read Braille, I was delighted by the offer, well done The Ivy 👍
