The Ivy Victoria Quarter - Leeds

Very disappointed when we arrived to find the normal weekday menus were not available the set menu, normally £18.95 for 2courses was now a ‘festive menu’ costing £50 for 2 courses! Although it did include a Christmas cracker It was November 14th!!! No wonder the restaurant was almost empty. Having said that the food was lovely but just far too early for Christmas.

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.

Tasty food, beautifully presented. Portions good, not huge. Depending on where you sit, can feel a little crowded, they really have packed in a lot of tables. Preferred it when the toilets were upstairs, now downstairs and you have to wind your way through a lot of diners to get there. Service excellent, as ever. Staff very well trained.

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.

We had a wonderful experience celebrating our wedding anniversary at this restaurant. The staff were friendly and easy to approach.
