    Absolutely fantastic experience at The Ivy in York. The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour from start to finish. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the tomahawk steak was spot on tender, juicy, and grilled just right. Cocktails were also excellent and well balanced. The service stood out just as much as the food. Attentive, friendly staff made the whole evening feel effortless and welcoming without being overbearing. Everything was served promptly and with a smile. Elegant setting, delicious dishes, and excellent hospitality. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to return.

    We set outside, started with drinks and happy hour. After reviewing the menu, decided to dine inside. We had an elegant dining experience. Service was great and food we ordered was excellent. We also loved the desserts. Highly reccomend this restaurant.

    If you fancy a lovely evening to wine and dine with your loved one then The Ivy is the place in the Great City of York to be. As you enter the building you are greeted by a front of house member of staff who is dressed very smart. They will show you to your table. Very plush furniture and fixings much in the style of the 1920s. There is no draught beers or lagers.Bottled and canned lagers only plus your spirits and cocktails which seem to be very popular. Food ordered from your table where everything is table service. Food is delicious. Staff supper friendly. Toilets 🚻 exceptionally clean. This place is not cheap by no means.
