The Ivy Dublin in Dublin

The food is good, the ambiance is stunning, but be prepared for subpar service. We were lucky to snag a table for two without reservations. We were seated next to a lush wall of greenery, which provided a cozy and intimate atmosphere. We were given the festive prix fixe menu, while other tables seemed to have larger menus. This was fine, as it made ordering simpler. However, we probably would have ordered more if provided the a la cart menu. The evening started with drinks, a champagne mojito, and an old fashion. The mojito had a bright, refreshing flavor but was mostly ice, and both drinks were weak pours. At 18€ each, you might be better off sticking with beer or wine. Unfortunately, water was not served, we had to request it, and it did not arrive until our meals arrived, and every server seemed too busy to check on us. As for the food, the salmon with herb sauce was great, and the steak was cooked perfectly, though it needed more seasoning to shine. The creamed potatoes were heavenly, and the lemon oil on the broccoli added a delightful touch. Dessert was the highlight of the meal and absolutely out of this world! We loved the chocolate orange cheesecake with mango sorbet and the crème brûlée with winter compote. Unfortunately, the end of the meal was frustrating. Our water was removed from the table with the dessert plates, and no one asked if we wanted additional drinks or anything else. After waiting 30 minutes, we had to flag down a random server for the check, which then took another 10 minutes to process.

Went here with some friends for a brunch. Two in our group were vegan and waiting staff were very unaccommodating and gruffly said it wasn’t possible to alter the breakfast to make it vegan. Nice atmosphere otherwise and there was a vegan option available but with slim pickings. Would have been good to know the lack of flexibility in advance, even though it’s pretty unreasonable.

Absolutely loved it especially the desserts. we ordered a crème brûlée and chocolate bomb something😍. Food was also great tbh We loved the atmosphere but a bit too busy I’d say. Was difficult to find a table but definitely worth it.

Went for Festive brunch, very welcoming and obliging staff. Chocolate bomb is nice

Such a lovely experience here for an anniversary dinner. We arrived early and were offered a place on the bar, we received very quick service right away and the drinks were lovely. Our server Leticia was very kind and gave us a special dessert on the house! Food was very fresh, bit of a higher price point but you pay for the experience. Would definitely return!

Top restaurant, with great tasty food, friendly staff, nice cocktails and spectacular deserts

Had a Christmas dinner here for 2023. Paid a set fee for the dinner which was lovely. It was a bit expensive for what it was would have been nice to get a drink included with the price

Thank you for a lovely evening. We came here for our work christmas party last night. David was our server. Everything was spectacular the food was honestly one of the nicest meals I have ever had and my steak was cooked to perfection . David couldn't do enough for us and ensured our glasses were always full. We will definitely be returning again .

Having been a fan of the Ivy chain for a few years, a colleague booked the Ivy in Dublin for a small dinner. The menu seems to be very similar although I sorely missed the soufflé as a starter. The shredded and deep fried courgette was OK, but more of a shared plate and a bit lacking in flavour. In retrospect I wish I’d opted for the beetroot. The waiter was rather more perfunctory than personal, but to be fair, the restaurant was very busy. Overall it was a nice evening and the food was good, but less memorable than my Ivy experiences in London & Cambridge.

Very enjoyable visit with my wife. Great attention to detail by waitress. Grilled asparagus for starter delicious and for main had the Prawn tagliatelle, very creamy!Decor pleasant and we were not rushed at all. Shoutout to Nick aswell for professionalism and friendliness. Overall a very pleasant experience and in terms of value setting and ambience second to none. Will be sure to visit again. Mark
