The Ivy (1-5 West Street, London, WC2H 9NQ) We went to The Ivy for lunch as a treat for my 40th birthday. I have been a few times before, both for dinner and lunch, and would recommend it for lunch only. The restaurant itself is lovely and has a great lively atmosphere. I hate restaurants that are quiet and boring but The Ivy has life, laughter and a good vibe. We were shown to our table as soon as we arrived and the service was impeccable. We weren't rushed at all and this is similar to the others times we have dined here. The food is delicious and we have always come away full and staisfied with our choices. We also have a bottle of wine and the choice is very good. It's always a pleasure for us to go to The Ivy and we will be back. Price wise our luch cost £120 for 2 but worth every penny. For the celeb watchers we don't usually spot any but did see Joan Collins last time. It's kinda funny seeing these people but a novelty all the same.
