  “We booked the same day while visiting the city. We had a wonderful waitress called Tilly, very discreet when serving and clearing. A real asset to The Ivy Exeter. Thank you Tilly for making our visit a great experience.”

  “Fantastic experience, service from the staff and manager (chap in pink suit) was above excellent couldn't do more for you if they tried and food was beyond amazing. Had a fantastic champagne afternoon tea, thank you. They also brought out a small chunk of chocolate cake with a candle to wish me a Happy birthday, all done discreetly with no embarrassing singing or having attention drawn which was a very lovely, kind gesture all round fantastic afternoon.”

  “Beautiful restaurant, took my wife for our 4 year anniversary. Recommend getting a few cocktails at the bar before being seated for dinner. Only thing I could fault was our bottle of wine had been forgotten about and had to remind them halfway through our main. Steak was one of the best I've had although it comes as only the steak with one side which I thought was a bit strange.”

  “Had an afternoon tea here for a 80th birthday,when we said it we were there for a birthday the brought out a small chocolate square cake with a candle in it .Thought that was a really nice touch. The food was lovely, presented really well and was delicious. There was a veggie option,which came with sandwich/rolls which were cheese,peppers and fish.The other ones were egg mayonnaise finger sandwhich, salmon cream cheese choux bun and chicken & truffle cream brioche roll . You got three sweet treats, lemon & poppy seed muffin, Dark chocolate & salted caramel plant pot and creme brulee with berry compote. There were also warm fruited scones ,cream fresh strawberries and strawberry compote. This came with a selection of Teas & coffees.We also added a glass of champagne 🍾 The service was brilliant the staff were so attentive and friendly. The Vue is decorated beautifully. Not a cheap place but you are paying for the quality and experience, which is worth every penny. I will definitely be going back .”

  “We went out to celebrate our friend-anniversary and Vedant (our bartender) and Alyssa (our server) took such good care of us and made us feel so welcome😊😊 thank you guys 🫶🏾 The cocktails were delicious, well balanced and perfectly presented (I’d recommend trying a Spice Girl - talk about something you’ll really want lol) and the food was glorious - highly recommend the Massaman Duck Curry and the Gratinated Scallops and Prawns. The Ivy had also invited two jazz singers to sing, and their voices are beautiful (I wish I knew their names so I can give em their flowers properly). They had a lovely timbre and their harmonies were 😍 10/10 would go back again”

  “We had a really lovely meal at The Ivy in Exeter to celebrate our wedding anniversary and couldn’t fault the experience. The food was excellent, beautifully presented and the portions were a really good size. Everything we had was delicious and the whole lunch felt relaxed and enjoyable. A special mention has to go to Michal, the manager, and Connie, our server, who were both outstanding. They were friendly, attentive and made us feel really well looked after throughout the evening. We were also surprised with a little chocolate dessert for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the occasion feel that bit more special. Fantastic food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. An easy 5 stars from us, and we’ll certainly be returning!”

  “I had such a lovely birthday dinner at The Ivy Exeter! I chose the three course menu and every single course was absolutely delicious. The food was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and made the whole evening feel really special. A huge thank you to Gabi, who looked after me throughout the meal. She gave fantastic recommendations, and every suggestion turned out to be spot on. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made me feel so welcome, especially as I was celebrating my birthday on my own. Her excellent service genuinely made the experience memorable. The atmosphere was elegant, the staff were wonderful, and I even left with some amazing photos thanks to how kind and accommodating everyone was. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday meal. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend The Ivy Exeter to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service!”

  “I came here with a party of 8 for my graduation dinner and had an amazing experience! The food was delicious, we would recommend the duck salad to start and the beef tartare! We were blessed with an attentive and friendly waiter: James! A special shout out goes to Felicity at the ivy bar, she kickstarted our night right by making us all laugh and feeling comfortable as well as making a delicious mocktail- what a true gem!”

  “We visited The Ivy Exeter to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and had a truly wonderful experience. As new parents, a full day to ourselves is quite rare, so we were really looking forward to making the most of our anniversary, and The Ivy made it feel incredibly special. The Ivy has always been our favourite restaurant, and although we’ve previously visited the Bristol and Bath branches, this was our first time dining at Exeter. It certainly did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, and the salmon was especially outstanding. One of the things we always love about The Ivy is the beautiful atmosphere and stunning interior, which make every visit feel special. What made this occasion even more memorable was our server, Sam. He was incredibly friendly, cheerful, and attentive, and his positive energy really enhanced our experience. Thank you to the whole team for helping make our anniversary celebration so memorable. We left feeling relaxed, well looked after, and already looking forward to our next visit!”
