We have just been for dinner with my family and it was incredible. The food was gorgeous. My husband and mum had the fish & prawn curry - the fish was brilliantly cooked and the dish was so full of flavor. My stepdad had the fish cake and my sister the burger and they all extremely enjoyed. I had the chicken breadcrumbs - very well cooked and delicious flavors as well. Usually ready not to get too excited about visiting a chain, but this was an example of how to do it right. The service was extremely professional and friendly. Pedro, who served us, had huge knowledge about the food and wine. He made the experience very enjoyable. He also speaks English, Portuguese and French - which is super beneficial in a popular tourist city. Highly recommend this restaurant in Winchester. We have been to all high end restaurants in Winchester, and for flavor and price, probably the best value for money, We will be going back!!

Recent lunch visit. Venue is stunning, beautiful venue and they have really gone to town on everything. Personally I feel a lot a people are expecting the sort of service and food delivered by the main IVY in London... but it’s a brasserie and a little more relaxed. The food is more casual dining not fine dining, but of very decent fresh quality. It’s not a copy of the London restaurant. If your expecting the sort of food & service you would expect at a 5 star / Michelin restaurant you will be disappointed, however I thought the food was very good and service attentive for this type of dining. Far better than most casual dining restaurants of this calibre. Cocktails were good (Salted caramel martini and French martini) just needed a slightly longer shake to make them colder. Food was good for price (eggs benedict and chicken Milanese). It’s a big place with a lot of covers and clearly a place that people want to be seen in (The fun sport of people watching is definitely alive and well in Winchester �) Our waiter was very busy but very attentive and charming enough for our table. We enjoyed the experience and will be returning soon. Had a chat with Barnaby (Management) lovely chap and very passionate and professional and a real asset to the venue. See you again soon...

Had a lovely evening! Food and cocktails where amazing, beautiful decor, attentive staff and quick service. It was quite a busy evening but we didn't feel rushed at all, my only criticism is they're arnt many Veggie options. Highly recommend, will definitely be returning �

Love love love this place. Came here for lunch and really enjoyed it. The prices aren’t as steep as you think they are going to be. 2 course for £19 and 3 course for £24. The decor inside is lush and I love all the pictures everywhere and plants etc. The food was really tasty and well presented. The serving staff friendly and the general ambience really nice. It’s nice to sit outside also and watch the world go by.

We visited tonight to celebrate my birthday and had a perfect meal. The food was absolutely delicious (recommend the truffle arancini balls) and so were the drinks. The staff are what makes the place so great, they were so attentive and professional and made our evening really special. Thank you to Lewis who was absolutely fantastic, and our other waiter who changed us over to another table as we wanted to sit next to each other (not sure we heard the name right but think it is Kyle or Carl) who was also lovely and so helpful.

Wow! What a gorgeous place! I was taken here as a treat and what a treat it was! The staff here are wonderfully friendly and present themselves so well the uniforms are lovely! Our food was outstanding, packed full of flavour and textures and colour it truly was a foodies dream. There were 3 menus to choose from on our visit. We tried the asian section on our starters amd mains but you can mix and match the choice was excellent and they cater for all dietry requirements. We were too full for desert and im massively regretting not getting a pudding now. Cocktails were gorgeous, we went for a peach punch and an old fashioned twice as they were so yummy. Next time il make more room for pudding. It was really easy to book a table online the day before our visit however they do have a timer. We went lunchtime on a monday and it was full which speaks volumes! It was so clean and loved the decoration inside. It was just lovely 100 percent recommend vising here. Thank you Ivy for a lovely meal x

Outstanding service as always at this lovely restaurant in Winchester highstreet. Atmosphere outside was lovely, with the buzz of the highstreet matched with the tranquility of an enclosed green space. Food was positively delightful, and nearly deserving of a full 5 stars. Chips where fuffy, fish was fresh and the desert a real showstopper. Let down slightly by the freshness of the garnish. Will be sure to return soon!

Nice place. Ate here during a short day trip to Winchester. Customer Service was phenomenal despite the busyness of the place. Order the steak and eggs, and sorbet from the 2 course set menu. Food was satisfying. The pot of coffee was served hot and was good. If in Winchester again, I'll be certain to stop by for another meal.

Lovely place to go for an occasion or just a drink and a nice meal. Food was delicious. The service was amazing. The whole place has a lovely atmosphere and the small outside area is a lovely area to sit on a nice evening and doesn't feel like you're sat right on the high street.

Nice and cool with the 28C weather outside. Warm welcome and prompt service. We shared a truffle pasta starter which arrived quickly and was served from a wheel of cheese! My Guinea Fowl Ballantine was cooked perfectly and the mock tails were refreshing and delicous. Great spot. Lovely staff
