This
was
our
first
dinner
while
visiting
London.
Reservations
were
made
weeks
in
advance
to
guarantee
accommodations
for
us(
long
waits
or
no
availability
was
not
an
option
especially
with
our
jetlag)
The
reviews
and
the
menu
was
up
our
alley.
We
were
seated
immediately
and
the
restaurant's
ambiance
was
welcoming
yet
elegant.
The
menu
has
so
many
excellent
options,
it
was
hard
for
me
to
choose.
I
ultimately
chose
the
lobster.
Our
server
brought
us
still
water
and
stated
she'd
return.
We
were
so
caught
up
in
the
magic
of
London...
that
we
hadn't
noticed
quite
a
bit
of
time
had
passed.
Our
server
was
at
another
table,
that
came
after
us..they
already
received
their
water,
drinks
and
bread
for
the
table.
The
table
next
to
us,
who
arrived
after
us...
had
received
no
service
yet.
They
were
about
to
leave.
My
cousin
had
to
waive
another
person
down
and
let
them
know
we
were
ready
to
order.
A
very
pleasant
gentleman
took
our
drink
order(
apologized
for
the
delay)and
brought
bread
for
the
table.
We
ordered
a
triple
baked
cheese
souflee(
you
have
to
try
this...addictive)
for
the
table
and
our
dinners.
It
took
so
long
for
us
to
receive
service
that
the
lobster
was
sold
out.
I
was
heart
broken
because
I
had
my
heart
set
on
lobster.
Lord(e)
our
server,
told
me
to
get
the
ribeye
instead.
It's
his
favorite
and
I
would
not
be
disappointed.
I
am
not
a
fan
of
ribeye,
not
my
preferred
cut
of
meat
but
I
put
my
faith
in
Lord(e)'s
recommendation.
This
was
one
of
the
BEST
steaks
I've
had(I've
eaten
at
plenty
of
high
end
steakhouses
to
know)!!
It
was
a
fine
cut
of
meat
that
was
flavorful
and
juicy,(it
melted
in
your
mouth).
I
devoured
my
meal
because
it
was
so
delectable(
I
was
shocked
I
ate
all
12ozs.-
I'm
typically
full
with
6
to
8ozs)
My
truffle
and
parmesan
chips
were
the
perfect
addition
to
my
meal.
My
cousins
chose
The
Ivy
Sheperd's
Pie
with
Mayfield
cheese(
fantastic)and
Truffle
stuffed,
corn
fed
chicken
breast.
There
was
no
bad
choice
of
meal
at
our
table
or
this
restaurant.
I
drank
the
Ivy
Champagne
cocktail
but
the
group
FAVORITE
drink
was
the
Laperouse!
It
smelled
like
a
parfum
and
tasted
like
a
dream.
The
flower
garnish
made
it
perfection.
I
refuse
to
end
a
meal
without
dessert.
All
the
ladies
stated
they
were
full
but
once
the
sticky
toffee
pudding
arrived
...there
were
2
extra
spoons
in
my
dessert!
Lol.
I'd
highly
recommend
this
dessert.
When
in
London...we
eat
what
the
locals
eat!!!
Excellent
restaurant
choice.
Lord(e)
who
was
a
manager
at
this
establishment
made
our
experience
memorable.
He
turned
a
disastrous
start
into
a
wonderful
ending.
I
am
still
appalled
with
that
server,
who
refused
to
assist
us.
She
walked
by
our
table
several
times
and
didn't
give
us
a
second
glance.
She
had
no
choice
but
to
serve
us
at
the
end,
since
Lord(e)'s
shift
was
over.
We
were
definitely
racially
profiled
and
my
biggest
regret
is
that
the
gratuity
included
with
our
bill
went
to
her.
I
told
Lord(e)
I
wanted
him
to
have
it,
since
he
earned
it.
As
a
manager,
I
assume
that
was
not
possible.
Lord(e)
is
an
amazing
soul,
with
a
great
personality(
too
funny)and
know
we
are
grateful
for
the
superb
customer
service
you
provided.
Thank
you
for
my
cousin's
bday
treat(chocolate
truffles
with
a
sweet
filling)...
I
can
still
taste
them
and
my
heart
flutters!
I
refuse
to
allow
the
ignorance
of
such
an
individual
to
diminish
my
perspective
of
the
restaurant
or
service
we
received
from
Lord(e).
Once
again
thank
you!
