The Ivy St Helen’s Square York

1. We would just like to leave a review for The Ivy and our server Lauren. Nothing was too much trouble, never waited too long for each course, it gave you a chance to savour each course and discuss what you had just ate. Our portions were bigger then we thought because we went for the dinner time 3 courses. We did choose different desserts from the 3 courses menu. Delicious. Then because it was our wedding anniversary they bought out an extra dessert with an anniversary chocolate plaque on it. We were stuffed but we made room! Loved it here and had a lovely time. Lauren was very attentive and welcoming to us. They all worked as a team which was lovely to see. Plus they have a stunning decor in there and the bathroom in the ladies is beautiful. Would definitely return. 💖

2. We booked a table very last minute and had the best of lunches. The atmosphere is great and the food was fantastic. We had a lovely bottle of wine which went down well. All staff were attentive and charming which made us feel special.

3. A stunning restaurant. Good service. Tasty food. The £19.17 menu is great value. The salmon starter was well seasoned, the chicken with spinach was cooked well. First visit, I’ll definitely go again.

4. Went for an evening meal here with friends.
   I had the chicken skewers for starter and the burger for main. My wife had the chicken main.
   Food was lovely but overpriced. I thought the service was slow. I mean it was a Saturday night and it was busy but we only had 2 courses and 1 round of drinks but it took over 2 hours.
   Service charge seems steep especially when the service wasn’t great and the food was already expensive.
   I had a lovely evening but I wouldn’t rush to go back.

5. Disappointing. Very friendly service, however our main course took an hour to be served, and the restaurant was just half full. Plenty of personnel around, but no efficiency. Bar people were doing the bar inventory on Sunday evening, which was pretty loud. Burger very disappointing, totally dry and overdone, additional cheese not visible. Prices too high for the quality. Service charge over 10% added automatically.
