Booked for a late dinner after the theatre and even at 10pm the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The decor is great, as with every Ivy restaurant and the food was perfect. A brilliant dinner, thank you!

Went to Ivy in York just after Christmas 2023 and would highly recommend. Food, service and venue are excellent. Pre booked table for 6 people, 4 of which are vegetarian and the menus offered lots of choice for us. Prices were very reasonable too. Will definitely go back, prebooking is probably the best option as it's always full.

Well where do I start. This place oozes class (even the toilets) lovely atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff and the afternoon tea was amazing. The tea was a bit weak for me and when I mentioned it to the waitress she was so apologetic and offered to make it stronger for me. They literally couldn't do enough to make you happy. We will definitely return and I highly recommend. Amazing place

Fantastic meal for my 50th birthday. Staff were amazing and couldn't do enough. Really enjoyed our fish pie & cottage pie mains. The apple tart for dessert was amazing. Thank you for the special birthday dessert. Well worth a visit if you're in York.

Had lunch today, didn't book. Service was excellent. Seated very quickly allowed time to look through menus. I picked the set menu £19.17 Starter Hot smoked salmon rillette with dark seeded pumpernickel style bread, crushed avocado, basil pesto and fresh herb salad. And for main The Ivy original shepherd’s pie with slow-braised lamb and beef, Cheddar mash, rosemary and red wine sauce Food excellent , you might want to add extras if you have a big appetite. There's no snobbery everyone treated the same. Would I eat there again yes. Food with coffee £26.91 there is £2.99 service charge coffee £4.75 meal £19.17.

Very nice meal, whereby we were seated upstairs. This was preferable for us as it was brighter than the dark ambience of the ground floor. Service was excellent, with staff being very attentive. Food was good. I had the fillet steak, which required you to add chips, sauce and vegetables all as sides.

Back again and again and again...where is my duck parfait!!😂 What a beautiful surprise it find out they are celebrating throughout January…over 100 years…2 course meal for £19.17 plus £5 for dessert. There was no compromise or ‘smaller portions’…top class…service so attentive…go check one out near you….I’ll be back next week!

My partner and I came here to celebrate his birthday tonight. The staff were lovely, welcoming and very accommodating. I got up and discreetly explained it was my partners birthday to a waitor and he organised a desert with a candle & happy birthday chocolate sign. After we'd finished deserts, our waitress (Ella) brought a beautiful profiterole out with a candle in and a chocolate happy birthday sign on it. They pulled out all of the stops & the food was absolutely delicious! Best fish and chips we've had, ever! The chocolate bomb was to die for. It was quite sickly with the toffee sauce, but I have a sweet tooth so it suited me. We would 100% visit again. Despite the restaurant being so busy, Ella was attentive to us and worked amazingly hard. Ella was polite, warm, welcoming and is a real asset to the company. What I didn't particularly like was that a service charge got added on to the bill automatically. I asked Ella to take the service charge off as she would only receive a tiny amount as a tip as it has to get split between all of the staff. We then tipped her cash, which 100% of went to her. I think it's naughty really because a lot of people won't realise that they're not tipping the waitress/waiter directly and just pay the service charge.

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!

4 of us visited for breakfast on our weekend away. Toast was cold but the food was delicious so made up for it, the service was slow but it was busy and we weren't in a rush. The only other minor was the hand drier in the gents wasn't working but all in in we did enjoy our visit.
