Amazing place! We go here every year as it hold something special for my wife & I. The zucchini friti are to die for! The best out of every other restaurant we've had them! Their food is also impeccable! Small but wholesome menu!

I’ve been to this branch many times and every visit has been great. The food and service are always spot on, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble. The Ivy is great value for money, especially when they’ve got offers running, and I really like their loyalty program that gives you cash back after each visit. I’ve tried a number of the other branches across London, but this one is definitely one of my favourites.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5) We visited The Ivy Chelsea Garden for our anniversary. The restaurant itself is beautiful — really pretty inside and out. The food was good too; for our mains we had the fish & chips and the haddock & salmon fish cake, both of which we enjoyed. However, a couple of things let the evening down. Despite booking a few weeks ahead and noting it was a special occasion, we were seated right at the far end of the restaurant where it was very quiet and felt a bit flat for a celebratory dinner. We also expected some small gesture for the anniversary (as many places do), but nothing was acknowledged, which was disappointing given the occasion. Overall, it’s a lovely venue and worth a visit, but if you’re going for a special occasion I’d recommend asking to be seated inside or on the outside terrace when you book to make the most of the atmosphere.
