The Ivy Victoria Quarter - Leeds

My experience was average. I felt like the staff were lacking something and I have received better treatment at other Ivy restaurants. I felt rushed and the waiters could have been more attentive. However, the food was excellent - hot, tasty, and well presented. My cocktail was extremely delicious. Overall, my feelings towards this restaurant are mixed.

Two options on the menu were unavailable and the service for both food and drinks was subpar. We were kept waiting for a long time. The quality of the food was below the usual standard that we are accustomed to when dining at this restaurant. Despite being seated in a visible area and not tucked away in a corner, we felt neglected for most of our time there.

Although expensive the food was amazing. £10 for a glass of champagne is slightly ridiculous so only had the one. I had to ask for my tea as they forgot to ask me which tea I'd like.

We've been many times to The Ivy, Victoria Quarter, and this was the first time we thought it was pretty poor as an experience, both food and atmosphere and service, and very poor value. We all enjoyed our starters however the main courses were underwhelming and the the cost for 3 of us with just starters, mains, 2 bottles of water and a couple of drinks each was, frankly, exorbitant. We could have gone to our local pub, had a better meal, in more comfortable surroundings and better service and for nearly half the price.

Great evening, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Look forward to coming again
