The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London Reviews
Afternoon tea at the ivy with Family What a treat
ivy Chelsea had a wonderful afternoon tea with Family more food than any of us could eat Great selection of teas from around the world and a service that is secound to none there care and attention to detail in every service see people come back time
Disappointing
We received a warm and genuine welcome from the lovely meet and greet person. Things went rapidly downhill after that. We ordered breakfast and were looking forward to it. 5 out of 6 breakfasts turned up ! Mine was lukewarm, but I was hungry. The 6th
Wonderful Dining Experience
Perfect visit! Was given a warm welcome and a quieter table in a corner as I had requested. Atmosphere fantastic. Our servers were extremely helpful and accommodating to my dietary requirements. Food excellent, dining from the Downton Abbey speci
Would really recommend it
Great food, great atmosphere and very very nice service from Rheg. Would really recommend it! We will definitely come back!
Good food but don’t eat at the bar
We had no reservation so ate at bar. Poor bartender was working entire bar and filling drinks for main dining areas so service was slow. It took a while for us to even be acknowledged even though two women were doing inventory of bar right in front
Well Worth the Cost
Went here for afternoon tea and it absolutely delivered. The tea and pasteries that came with it were all very good and it was a great experience. A bit on the pricey end, but well worth the cost.
visual and atmosphere is classy
Went here before we went to the theater on a Saturday night. Daughter had booked in advance and we was offered a bar side seat, I was a bit apprehensive about this with my mobility problems. I'm probably right to be so, they were quite high and
Good service, good food
Great experience and food. Our server Anna was a joy and made the restaurant definitely one we will visit when we return to London.
A lovely experience!
I visited for an early dinner prior to attending a Prom at the Royal Albert Hall. As a fairly recent solo diner due to bereavement it was great to be treated so well. Although not initially given the Summer Set Menu, this was promptly rectified by lo
Excellent value pre theatre menu
Excellent value for money pre theatre menu and great cocktails Service was friendly if a little haphazard (wine left on the bar till we chased it up twice) Spotless toilets too
Amazing!
Amazing Anna and Anglina are amazing.. great food and a service def recommend! The staff and manager are a delight and would come again and again!
Overrated
We thought we’d have the summer set lunch on the last Bank holiday of the year - we ordered the minute steak ( you can only have well done or medium rare)…the steak was tasteless and drenched in peppercorn sauce. We ordered French beans on the si
Lovely place
Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and delicious food! I had an early dinner, followed by some drinks. We had a really nice time and we will definitely be back!

They squeezed us in on a busy night- so grateful! Great food, service and atmosphere. Definitely recommend
Never again
I’m truly amazed at the high ratings that this chain gets. Maybe people fall for the interior decoration and their taste buds are mesmerised into believing they are eating good food. In our experience the food was mediocre, the service sub-par and
Swift and efficient service. Great food
Fabulous pre theatre meal. Our waiter Smit ensured we were served promptly so we could leave on time -we even fitted in a dessert. Lovely food and a really good ambience. Would definitely return. Highly recommended

Honestly, it's been a week and I've told so many people how bad this place was that I might as well yelp it. First, we waited nearly 20min for a waiter to even come by, let alone offer water - this was after a 10min wait at the door becau
We were here for a work dinner and it was a great choice.
The service is exceptional, the atmosphere is vibrant, and the food and drinks are wonderful. The menus, both food and drinks, are varied enough that there is something for everyone. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Ivy to anyone for dinne

Above and beyond! Friendly service and even better food and ambiance. I highly recommend if you're in the area for dinner!

I'm in Europe for a month and this was the first place I went out to dinner. I think the aesthetic and ambiance of this place is really what makes it. Theres tons of cool art on all the walls and it feels like you're traveling back in time
Great Spot for a Quick Bite!
Just strolling around and popped in for dinner. Violeta was amazing – super nice and quick to help out with the menu and snag me a table. Been to a bunch of Ivy’s and I’ll definitely be back. Big thanks!
Very poor quality/ratio.
The service and decor are good. However, the dishes are really bad... the steak overcooked, the tartare very poorly seasoned (the mustard is very very strong 🥲) even though I said I didn't like it... and you also have to take into account the acco
Huge disappointment
We booked a table for 6 for breakfast to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday today.Our waitress was thoroughly miserable and surly.She rolled her eyes when we asked questions about the breakfast special and practically threw our plates down when de
Thank you
I came for a dinner with friends that visited me in UK. Friendly staffs with excellent service, loved the food. I would definitely recommend it
Always a nice meal.
Good ambience of a brasserie. Drinks are well made and decent wine list.
Family place
Lovely place to enjoy a lovely meal with the whole family, speedy and yummy food. Definitely a place to recommend for a good bite to eat
Great restaurant
This place was so busy when we walked in but I can tell why! Service very well paced and very efficient to follow with yummy drinks and fantastic food.
Beautiful place
Peaceful and beautiful decorated place, will definitely go back with my family and try the dinner menu that looked fantastic
Definitely worth a visit!
I come here often and write here as often as I can as I just want to rave about it! Service is always super and we are always made to feel so welcome. The food is always great, my kids were a bit disappointed when the sushi left the menu but as ther
Not as good as it used to be
I don’t know what’s going on with the Ivy restaurants recently but this is my third bad experience in the last few months. I used to enjoy my visits there but lately the standards have really dropped. On this occasion the service was absolutely d
A perfect meal
The bar is superb & the menu is creative, lovely ingredients cooked with many combinations to make dining a delight, plain fare it’s not!!
This was my second time I went to this ivy restaurant.
Last time my friend took me there all I remember was they were busy and you must reserve a reservation to get a table. I didn't make a reservation but I was able to get in at the counter for the second time. The restaurant was super busy. I see ever
Suggested only one of options for good food in London.
Old school with traditional gift on the table. Ordered mushroom cream linguini which was very tasty but presentation was B. Would not go wrong.
Great service and good food.
Pretty close tables but still comfortable. Small selection of well prepared courses. Very nice decor and atmosphere. We're coming back.
They put up with me.
Met a colleague, ordered drinks because we were looking for a quiet little place. His was not a quiet little place it was abuzz with patrons enjoying their day. The guy made me order food because I was drinking, so I got fries. They were good. The wa

4 star food, 2 star service, 3 star overall.
The food was a great price. We ordered from the set menu, which was a starter and a main for 19 pounds. This is an excellent deal for this part of town and I was so excited when I saw it online! I ordered a fresh prosciutto with toast that was excell
This was our best meal in London! Really tasty.
I had the caprese and chicken milanese. The service was eh since we had to keep flagging down people to get us anything. My personal problem was how fricking hot it was, but I know that's a me being a fat American problem and not the restaurant but G

Horrible service
Sat at bar being ignored for :20 not getting drinks till :30. Our waiter was surly and rude. We had to ask for water multiple times, ask him to take empty wine glasses, ask to order….the service was the absolute worst ever.
Forced early morning visit to the barbers .....!
My rating is really 3.5. 2 x negative comments that in some ways spoilt a good Breakfast . 1. The online booking for Breakfast made us have to arrive at 8.30 am today .No other times where available .Ok.... we booked .Turned up and the re

When I booked our table online for four of us to dine here (to celebrate 2 big birthdays) I asked for a nice table in the notes section of the booking online. This was completely overlooked as they put us on a table which was right next to the ladies

Really nice place. The front of the house was really Welcome and helpful. The waiter was really kind . We definitely will come back

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Ivy Kensington Brasserie London!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
