The Ivy Harrogate

Sea bass and mussels whilst a nice fish the mussels were miniscule and some hadn't even opened very disappointing. The staff were lovely and very attentive.

Great atmosphere, super staff, the onion and truffle soup is awesome, as is the mushroom linguine......not 5 stars as tip is added in the bill.....I wish restaurants didn't do this as its discretionary......

Positives We went for my son birthday , food was very good and service was outstanding however restaurant was quieter as we went on Monday for lunch. Atmosphere was beautiful. Complimentary dessert for my son was nice gesture. Negatives Agree with others comment re very overpriced for the drinks. A non alcoholic mock tail was 8.5£, another mock tail costed 7£ and the quantity served in a wine glass was very small. Also 12.5% service charge added to the bill which is very hard to refused. Therefore i did not pay any tip. Overall good experience but would only recommend for celebrating special occasion. For every day dining it’s very expensive.

Louis, Harry and Emma provided *immaculate* service. From the moment we entered the restaurant to the moment we left, we were treated with so much kindness and attentiveness. From great recommendations to great humour, we can’t recommend visiting The Ivy Harrogate enough thank you for the best evening!

Had poached eggs on toast ,the toast was so hard couldn’t cut with a knife when I complained was asked if I wanted another slice of toast I refused as the poached eggs would have been cold by the time I got it then went to pay was then asked if we wanted the change
