  “I had such a lovely experience at The Ivy. I celebrated my 21st birthday here, and everything was wonderful from start to finish. The ambience was beautiful and made the evening feel especially memorable. The cocktails were lovely, the main course was absolutely delicious, and the dessert was definitely the highlight of the evening. A beautiful place for a special occasion, and I would happily visit again. ✨🥂”

  “The food is excellent. I ordered Korean glazed chicken salad. Surprisingly, it’s not typical cold North American cold salad. It’s warm, tasty and very comforting. The service, however, is underwhelming. In spite of seeing many empty tables, the host told me there was no table so I had to be seated at the bar. Now thinking back, it probably is because I was by myself. The man in suits at the bar has a lot of attitude for no reason. The only nice guy was the black dude working at the bar who took my order . Overall it’s a very nice place for a meal, last but not least, the women s washroom is also impressively decorated.”

  “Came here to Ivy Oxford for a celebratory meal and while it is more expensive than a normal eat, it's very much worth the extra for the ambience and attentive service. The food is traditional and classic, plenty of it in the portion. Could be more selection on the menu and it might not be perfect for those on low carb diets but I had the Shepheards' Pie and it was lush! Service was a bit slow delivering the bill and we waited quite a long time for the main course but otherwise no complaints and we will be back.”

  “During our day trip to Oxford from London, we had lunch at The Ivy Oxford Brasserie, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit. We were two couples with our children, a party of six, and had reserved a table in advance. From the outside, the restaurant looks quite modest and doesn’t immediately stand out, but the moment you step inside, you’re completely amazed. The interior is absolutely stunning—lush green décor, beautiful artwork, elegant details, sparkling finishes, and a luxurious atmosphere that feels both stylish and welcoming. Everything was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained, from the bar and dining area to even the restrooms. Every corner of the restaurant was a pleasure to look at. The food was equally impressive. We ordered a selection of starters, main courses, desserts, and tea, and every single dish was delicious and beautifully presented. What truly made our experience exceptional was the outstanding service. The teamwork between the waitstaff was flawless. All of our dishes were served simultaneously, despite our larger group, and drinks arrived perfectly timed as well. We especially appreciated how attentive the staff were—they quietly kept an eye on our table and refilled our wine and Prosecco without us ever having to ask. Empty plates disappeared almost instantly, and everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. The Ivy Oxford Brasserie is truly one of Oxford’s gems. If you’re visiting Oxford for a day to explore its famous colleges and attractions, I highly recommend making time for lunch here. It’s an experience that’s about much more than just great food. A huge thank you to the entire team for making our visit so memorable. We will definitely return the next time we’re in Oxford!”

  “Enjoyed a lovely birthday lunch at The Ivy during the heatwave. Thank heavens for air conditioning! Delicious food, great ambiance and attentive staff. We had salt and pepper squid, arancini rice balls, ribeye steaks and birthday dessert box - all of which were fabulous. Will be back to try the cream tea.”

  “I haven't visited the ivy for ages and I forgot how good it was. The food was cooked for to perfection and it was very reasonably priced even though it gives the impression of a very expensive and upmarket place. Big thanks to our waitress Hannah really good service.”

  “I ate at The Ivy, Oxford tonight for the first time to celebrate my birthday and I'm glad we picked there to eat. The atmosphere was great, it was early evening so quite quiet, but still had a friendly feel to it. The dining room also looks lovely, and the whole restaurant and facilities are very clean. The staff were very attentive and friendly and helped to make it a great experience. I was a little worried about the limited vegetarian choices on the menu for main courses, but the option they did have was absolutely beautiful (Jackfruit bang bang salad). They had asked if we were celebrating a special occasion so we mentioned it was my birthday, I was served a gorgeous chocolate profiterole with candle for dessert which was unexpected but a lovely touch - unfortunately I didn't know I was getting that and had also ordered a dessert! (Both came with a candle and it added to the experience). We weren't rushed at all during the meal, not after we had paid, they whole experience was very relaxed and enjoyable. I will definitely go back in the future.”

  “We went for the Easter Bunny experience and it was really cute. Once we got inside, the staff were lovely and welcoming, although the man on the door didn’t seem the friendliest. The food was really nice, but it would have been even better if there was a full breakfast option on the adults’ menu like the kids had. The little bunny the children received was a lovely touch too and really good quality.”
