Square Meal review of The Ivy:

The enticing aroma of celebrity continues to envelop this seminal Theatreland haunt which, 90 years after first opening its doors, remains a firm favourite among A-listers & mere mortals alike. From consistently well turned-out food & a refined but understated atmosphere to efficient, ‘impeccable’ service – it’s no wonder it’s notoriously hard to get a table in the clubby, wood-panelled dining room. Cleverly sticking to simple, unfussy dishes that people know & want to eat, the menu cherry picks from around the world: British classics such as shepherd’s pie or a salmon-packed fishcake doused in hollandaise sauce, next to linguine alla vongole or red Thai chicken curry; &, of course, no visit would be complete without the famous iced berries & hot white chocolate sauce for dessert. Considering the pedigree of the place, its prices are a delight: the three-course weekend lunch menu is £27, & it’s a lot easier to get a table then, too.
