The Ivy In The Lanes

Had a lovely breakfast at the The Ivy on a busy Saturday morning. Decor is simply stunning. Light and airy, colourful and opulent. Service was polite and courteous with a touch of class. Full English was lush and fully accommodating to change the items I did not like. Would have liked there to have been breakfast cocktails on the menu (mimosas, peach bellini etc) but easily asked for. Will definitely book for dinner when next in Brighton!

We booked the private dining room for our pre-wedding family dinner party. The space was perfect for an intimate setting separate from the rest of the restaurant - as we had two small children with us too, they could do as they pleased without disturbing other diners. You can select your own music, and basically anything from drinks choices to running order and of course food options. Lily our hostess was perfect. She was discreet in taking a birthday cake from as, as well as subtly checking in that both us and our guests were happy. Everything ran smoothly and we all felt like VIPs. Our family enjoyed her company as well. All the staff were fabulous and the food was of the highest standard. Thank you for making our evening magical.

Really nice restaurant in the lanes. Food is excellent and service is very good and attentive. Menu choice is good and covers a wide range of dishes for all. Only slight disappointment was the welcome on arrival. As it was busy, people had to wait squeezed up in the entrance lobby until table ready. Would have been nice to be guided to bar to wait. Other than this a great experience.
