The Ivy Dublin in Dublin

A group of 9 attended the Ivy over Christmas for a family birthday, 90th, the problems started from the time we arrived, the table we were given only sat 8, we were told by a manager that they were short staffed and there was nothing they could do, we had to squeeze to fit us all in. The starters and desert were lovely but unfortunately the mains were not so good. Several of us ordered the fish which was only warm, on person ordered a steak, they requested medium, but it came out blue. The sides were not delivered until most of us had finished the mains. The young waiter who served us was very nice, attentive and apologised to us from the time we sat down. I have been at the Ivy several times before, as had another member of the party and unfortunately after this experience we will not be returning.

Me and my girlfriend went to The Ivy last night, and absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in we were made to feel completely comfortable and relaxed. Our waiter, Tom, was an absolute gem — super chilled, friendly, and genuinely added to the whole experience. The steaks were to die for, cooked perfectly, and the chocolate bombes were unreal. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and top-class service. We’d definitely recommend!

I’ve been to Ivy for different occasions with family and friends. We have tried coffee and breakfast. I’ve enjoyed the experience every time. The seating, the menu, and the options are all great. For breakfast, I’d recommend the pancake, eggs benedict, and avocado benedict. If you like salmon, definitely try the smoked option - it won’t disappoint. The vegetarian breakfast is lovely as well. Nice spot to meet with friends or have a brunch on the weekend. The service might be slow bit but definitely worth the visit.

Very busy restaurant, service was very good. Food was ok, woukd have expected more for the cost. Worth a visit.

Lovely evening out with the girls. The Ivy is always very mindful of my shellfish allergy

Absolute Wow. Superb food and excellent service

10/10 great food and great team working here .. highly recommend!!!!

We came in here during Christmas shopping and had a lovely meal. I ordered the salt & pepper squid and got the fish curry. My partner got the bruschetta and the risotto. We shared a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Service and atmosphere were really good and the food was tasty. Shout out to our waiter Andy who was excellent!

I find it hard to understand the negative reviews this restaurant receives. The food and service was 2nd to none when eating there today. I have to point out that all servers that attended to my needs all done a great job with special thanks to Barp who truly deserves a medal. Many thanks to one and all keep up the good work. 10/10

We had a wonderful dinner at The Ivy, Dawson Street in Dublin. The service and food were exceptional. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful with our questions about the menu. Everything we ordered was top notch. We ordered the zucchini fries (recommended by our waiter), the squid starter, the crab and avocado starter, the shepherd’s pie, the steak, the monkfish, the burger, and the prawn tagliatelle. We also had the strawberry shortcake version of dessert. We each loved the meals we ordered. Highly recommend eating here!
