    Busy, team were rushed off their feet, service was slow and those little touches of great service missing. Prices have gone up significantly which you don't mind paying if the service and the value is maintained. I think the Ivy needs to up their game. That said they were packed so I guess customers are happy with what they are getting, I think we will try some of the new restaurants in Oxford, who will be working hard to win over customers. In summary, food great, service average no special and price, value expensive for what you actually get on the plate.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded on February 2, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food, but I’m sorry that the service didn’t quite meet your expectations on this occasion. We always strive to provide a seamless and special experience, even during our busiest times, so I appreciate your comments and will certainly share them with the team. We understand that value is about more than just price—it’s about the overall experience, and we want every guest to feel it’s worth returning for. I do hope you’ll consider visiting us again in the future, as we’d love the opportunity to provide you with the high standard of service we aim for.

    Great experience. We have 2 allergies in our group- nut and pepper. We felt safe eating here. They took great care to provide a wonderful tea for both allergies. We called and told them of our allergy in the reservation. They had already prepared food for both. It was so nice.

    From the friendly cloakroom attendant to the attentive wait staff, the prompt service and the simply excellent food, everything was spot on with my visit. I particularly enjoyed the steak, cooked to perfection (blue - not always an easy thing to have in a restaurant) and served with a selection of wonderful side dishes. The crème brûlée was a delightful treat that maybe my waistline didn’t need but my stomach certainly did. All in all, a highly satisfactory experience I am keen to repeat and would not hesitate to recommend.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded on January 30, 2025
    Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that every aspect of your visit—from the friendly service to the excellent food—made for such an enjoyable experience. It’s especially great to know that your steak was cooked exactly as you like it—blue can indeed be a tricky one, so we’re thrilled we got it just right! And as for the crème brûlée, we fully support indulgence in the name of great dining. We truly appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back for another visit soon!

    Generous portions for the roast dinner - and great service. Food was warm but not hot, hence the slightly lower rating for the food, but we enjoyed the restaurant and the meal nonetheless.
    The Ivy Oxford BrasserieResponded on January 22, 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the generous portions of our roast dinner and the great service provided by our team. Your comment about the food temperature is appreciated and will be shared with the kitchen to ensure we deliver dishes that are piping hot every time. We’re delighted you still enjoyed your meal and the atmosphere, and we hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience.
