Best Romantic Restaurants in Henley-On-Thames

We had a wonderful evening at The Ivy. The food was absolutely delicious, the decor was stunning and the whole atmosphere was beautiful. However, the highlight of the evening was definitely the service. Josh was fantastic, so friendly, attentive and professional. He really made our experience extra special. We will definitely be back.

The meal was fantastic food was an amazing for appetizers, mains and the tarte. We had a vegetarian with us and the carrot Wellington was a hit. For the meat eaters the pie and the fish and chips were outstanding. What was even better than the food was the service. The staff was amazing in helping select choices of food and wine. The made sure everything was easy offering extra sauce and ice cream and then getting us out to the fire with our wine. Not sure it could have been much better night.

Consistently very good and enjoyable with menu changes on a regular basis

Wow! What a lovely place to eat at! Everything, from the warm welcome when we arrived at midday from Fernando, the warmer place by the real log fire and especially the friendly attention from the Alekh, made our visit even more special. And we haven’t got to the food yet! I ordered whitebait, and very delicious in a sort of spicy breadcrumb coating. Followed by the rump beef roast plus, for me, a glass of Portugese red - a wine I would not usually have chosen……Fernando told us he is from Portugal. Not that he pushed it, I just thought if he was stocking it, it must be a good one, it was. The beef was outstanding. We were not going to choose a dessert, but my wanted a hot drink and they came with one. So I chose the Baron Bigod parfait. Having told them our son in Australia was paying as a gift for our 50th anniversary plus my 80th birthday, they also brought out celebratory ice cream and chocolate brownie “on the house”! What a wondrous lunch we had…….we will definitely return!

We had the 5 course tasting menu with wine flight this Sunday to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and the food was delicious. The service was friendly, it would have been nice to have a little more information about the wine paring but the choices themselves were very good. We had a lovely time.
