Ivy standard! Impeccable in all aspects, as indicated in the scores, location, décor, ambience, food, service, enjoyment, relaxation, value. It was a pre-theatre dinner and just perfect. Special mention to all the staff, but especially Mia, who remembered us from before and was engaging and warm. Thank you!
