All staff were fantastic, and our main waiter, Alfie, was full of charm, warmth and professionalism. It all helped my mother feel special during her birthday meal. The food was excellent and what one would expect at the price point. Though it was truly the service that set The Ivy above rival restaurants. A fine dining experience we shan't soon forget! We will be back to be sure.

A first-ever visit to the famed Ivy restaurant. We'd been recommended to try their breakfast over later meal options, so this is what we chose to do. Overall a very pleasant experience. We both opted for their special festive breakfast which consisted of a choice of one of two healthy juice options, a small cooked breakfast and two different small pastries - at a set price of 17.95 each. Different breakfast options are available. Possibly slightly overpriced at 17.95, but worth it for the exclusive service and surroundings I'd suggest. Be aware also that a discretionary 12.5% service charge is included in your bill, and that a bottled water will set you back 5.

We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed at reception and shown to a beautifully presented, spotless room with a fantastic atmosphere. Our server, Izzy, was outstanding—attentive, professional, and full of personality. She had excellent knowledge of the menu, and her recommendation of the chocolate bomb was a real hit. We’ll definitely be returning for our next special family occasion.

A visit to The Ivy in Exeter was a delightful experience. I opted for the classic Shepherd's Pie, which, though small in size, was rich in flavour with perfectly seasoned meat and a creamy mashed potato topping. To finish, I couldn't resist the famous Ivy Chocolate Bomb - watching it melt as hot chocolate was poured over to reveal a gooey centre was a real treat. A perfectly indulgent ending to a wonderful meal!

So I booked a table here as a last minute booking for a birthday meal. The service I got from 2 lovely waitresses was great for a start. I ordered first the rabbit croquettes, that's my first time having something with rabbit in it and I dont want it to be my last, delicious. Then I had the lamb, beef and goose ragu papardelle. It was very good also and every component went well together. I'd like to say all the food came out relatively quickly once I ordered my starter it came out within minutes and main course very quickly after too. Personally, I liked that it came out quick as I wanted a quick lunch. I didn't want dessert but as it was my birthday I was surprised with a chocolate filled profiterole with a candle on it. I was so surprised and of course couldn't say no and ate it (I ate it too quickly to take a picture ), that was a very kind gesture and thank you to the waitress who served me that, now I see why she wanted me to have dessert! I'd definitely come here for a meal again. Good job guys!

It is a very nice restaurant with amazing service. Me and my partner came here for her birthday, and we opted for the three course meal picking the peanut skewers as a starter and a chicken supreme for mains. Both were amazing, and we will definitely be coming back. The service was also very fast, and with our simple reservation, we were taken to our table instantly. As we are both younger, the alcoholic drinks were not particularly for our palet, but the pineapple juice and peach ice tea were more like it. Decor was also so immersing, as seen by other photos.
