The Ivy Exeter

6 of us traveled from Britain to visit exeter. we booked the ivy as tasty bites. from the minute we arrived, we should have gone somewhere else. no warm welcome to the reception, said to keep our moms?! then we had to ask ourselves to lay our hands when we sat. the starters needed a lot. we sat along the window and it was freezing, although the waiter said that he had turned the heating. eggs were cooked on our fish cake. we waited for drinks. at the end we paid and a manager asked if everything was in order. we have explained our experience. he apologised and said that next time he would make sure we're not through the window. a little late after a £450 bill. customers should be told that the window seats are cold.

Ideal for what we wanted a quality lunch in an attractive environment that didn't cost too much.

Living in Plymouth-this was my first time at the Ivy. Everything was perfect. Food and drinks were amazing. The service matched the look and feel of the interior. Loved it

Second visit and disappointed by the experience. Food not great with scallops and steak over cooked. Service mediocre.

Good experience. Steak was chewy but a replacement was offered immediately which was good.
