We had a party of 8 at the Ivy on a Friday lunchtime to celebrate two 70th birthdays. Overall, we had a nice time, but left with a mixed experience. Pros * Good with booking as we had to change numbers twice * We arrived 15 minutes early and was seated * Beautiful asthetic in the restaurant, including the ladies room * We mostly had good quality food & tasty "entertaining" drinks * We had the table for over 2.5 hours, but with 3 courses and coffee, this really is needed Cons * The menus online are different from what we were given, which was unhelpful due to the dietary requirements of our guests * We had to ask to see the set lunch menu as it was not given on arrival * We ended up paying for extra sides as the way the waitress phrased her questions to 2 of our guests was not clear at all * A dead wasp was served in one of our cocktails. The cocktails that were poured at the table by the staff all had spillages, and one of our ladies ended up with a sticky dress due to this bad form from the drinks server * The main waitress who served us was efficient but very unpersonable, and a few times, it felt like we were an inconvenience to her. Her attitude was not at all one that we were expecting from this kind of establishment that says they pride themselves in their service. Our drinks waitress was more friendly but, as mentioned, needs improvement in her skills and knowledge as she didn't know any of the answers to the questions we had. Our time as friends together was not ruined by these things, but I don't think any of us are rushing to go again.
