What is the place like?
As you step inside, you are greeted with a design style that is unmistakably the Ivy signature. Every wall is adorned with mirrors, luxury wallpaper and beautiful artwork depicting various curiosities and botanical wonders. A central bank of tables runs down the centre of the main dining room and divides the restaurant into two. A booth table is most highly sought after so book in advance and make a specific request to avoid disappointment, though any table in this beautiful restaurant won’t be too shabby.
The beautiful and fully stocked bar dominates the right side as you walk in and a checkered tiled floor together with the luxury brass fittings, velvet furnishings and stone work complete the look.
