    The steaks ordered were very dry and one of party did not eat theirs due to the dryness of the steak, we mentioned to waitress and were told that we should have ordered a different type of steak if we wanted a more moist steak which we would have if this mentioned at the time of ordering !, my colleague also pointed out that the lobster linguine was lovely but could have done with more pasta as portion for the price very small and she she felt hungry
    The Ivy Bath Brasserie and GardenResponded today
    Hello Alyson, Thank you for your valuable feedback, we're very sorry the steaks were dry and that our staff did not suggest a different cut or alternatives. We will address this issue with the kitchen and floor team. We're glad the lobster linguine was lovely, and we understand the portion felt small for the price. We hope to see you again, so we can make it up for your last visit.
