Customer Review Summary
Celebrations draw most reviewers, and the service during them is the most repeated theme: diners describe a server arranging a four-seat table in place of a window seat, a Tower Bridge view table arranged for a last-minute birthday request, and an anniversary dessert with "Happy Anniversary" written on it. The afternoon tea earns the clearest food praise, with the scones and crème brûlée singled out, while the sandwiches on different breads are called flavoursome. Others mention the sourdough bread, fresh salads and profiteroles with ice cream in a private dining room. Reviewers are more mixed on the details. One found the dark chocolate pot bitter and heavy, and the lemon muffin overly sweet. Another calls the food beautiful but only okay in taste, and a third found the portions small and the prices slightly high. Several describe the room as busy or noisy, and one wanted a quieter, more serene setting than the pub-style bustle they met. One reviewer suggests ordering the sourdough to start, and a few mention the short walk from Tower Bridge.

“Had a wonderful tea here on my recent trip to London. This was my 4th visit to the city but never had a proper tea. I was visiting the Tower Bridge and found this beautiful restaurant by accident. The food and tea were all perfect and delicious! My favorites were the scones and creme brulee! Still thinking about them. Will definitely return!”

“Yesterday was my husband's birthday and after experiencing disappointing customer service from a couple of other well known restaurants before we had even managed to make a booking, I was so pleased we ended up at The Ivy Tower Bridge instead. Sara and Kosta were amazing. Sara went above and beyond to accommodate a last minute request and kindly arranged a table with an incredible view of Tower Bridge, making the evening even more special. Kosta was exceptional, friendly and professional throughout the entire evening. I honestly can't remember the last time I experienced customer service of this standard. Hospitality like this has become so rare, both Sara and Kosta are an absolute credit to The Ivy. The food was excellent but what will bring us back is the outstanding team. They turned my husband's birthday into a truly memorable evening. Thank you Sara and Kosta. You made our first visit unforgettable and we can't wait to come back.”

“We’ve been dining here regularly, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The food is consistently delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The staff are genuinely warm, attentive, and always make us feel welcome, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere every time. Service is five star by Adriano, Sedra and Mattia. They are the best! Special thanks to Sedra who solved our mystery and turned to an adventure. She deserves to be a manger. Location is great too. Your guests from Kazakhstan))”

“We recently celebrated my Cousin’s engagement with a private dining experience in the London Bridge Room at The Ivy, and it was exceptional from start to finish. The private dining room itself was stunning, with beautiful décor and spectacular views that made the occasion feel even more special. The three-course meal was generous in portion size and, more importantly, absolutely delicious. The dessert I had chosen was profiteroles, they were the best I’ve ever had with ice cream in them. The service was outstanding. Our designated waitress, Deanna, was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive throughout the lunch. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was looked after, especially the children in our family, which made a huge difference and was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend The Ivy for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding, and they helped create memories we'll treasure for years to come.”

“We booked a last-minute reservation at The Ivy Tower Bridge for dinner during our girls' trip, and it ended up being one of our favorite meals in London! The ambiance is absolutely stunning! Every one of us loved our entrées and cocktails, and the service made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. I actually ordered two salads, and both were incredibly fresh with unique, creative flavor combinations. One recommendation: order the sourdough bread. It was honestly some of the best bread I've ever had and was the perfect way to start the meal. The location is another huge plus. It's just a short walk from Tower Bridge, making it easy to enjoy the views before or after dinner. I would absolutely recommend The Ivy Tower Bridge for a special dinner, whether you're visiting London or celebrating with friends.”
