"Location, service and food were good. Problem was that of the 7 of us that dined there on Saturday night, 6 were vomiting by the next morning. Not been this ill in 20 years, and just recovering 24hrs later. The common denominator was maybe the olives to start. Real shame as it’s a lovely place with good service and food. I’ve got to question the hygiene practices after such an experience as I’ve been fortunate to never have had gastroenteritis in the UK, as I’m usually very careful. The added irony is that I’m a Gastroenterologist."

"I would have loved to rate our dining experience at the Ivy House a lot higher but we were to leave somewhat disappointed. The dining area was pleasant and intimate with well appointed decor, the waitress and waiters pleasant, polite and attentive. The varied menu looked very appetising with most tastes catered for. We chose two courses from the main menu, the Duck Breast and a Fish Dish for myself. Contrary to other reviews we were to wait over 40 minutes before the food was presented to us. We were not advised of any delays or even the expected length of time we might have to wait. The food on arrival was well presented and flavoursome although I did not consider two small stem broccoli spears a serving. I also asked the waiter why there was no Samphire to accompany my dish as stated on the menu, this comment was also reinforced by a fellow diner who ate the same dish just prior to me. The waiter advised me that he would ask the chef. I did not receive a response to my question during further table service and subsequently asked the waiter again. On returning the waiter advised me the chef said “he will try to remember to put it on next time”, a somewhat disrespectful comment. The Cheese platter we were presented with was lacklustre and sparse, quince jelly and a small dish of chutney being the predominant feature. For ourselves we did not feel that our dining experience represented good value for money."

"we dived in kats kitchen as our last hoorah to keswick and the seen, especially after we have seen that they are totally vegan (for my friend). we were the first customers at the place, greeted with a big hallo, the venue was welcoming and colorful with...viel quirk. we were invited up, sitting on the window to enjoy our full breakfast with a beautiful view of the river. while there were a few hiccups with the breakie: the baked beans were tepid, I had an ersatz toast after taking a dive from the cooking pass, and the boiled tomatos fought back. overall the breakfast was tasteful, colorful and well cooked. as a traditional front I would definitely recommend the menu!"

"We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while wandering around enjoying the Christmas lights. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, and the variety of dishes was excellent. We shared a small selection of tapas and each had a main dish. The flavors overall were fantastic and the level of spice was just right, although the meatballs were a bit tough. The atmosphere was great, and it was really cool to see a working SNES set up, although I didn't have a chance to play. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back again. The price per person is around £20-30. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Quesadillas, Meatballs, Olives."

"My wife follows a gluten-free diet, and we found that most of the food here is suitable for her. We started by sharing a delicious dip called peacamol, which came with blue corn chips. For our main course, we shared the jerk goat, and it was outstanding. For dessert, we enjoyed a whisper, the Basque cheesecake, and the cherry Bakewell pudding—all of which were fantastic. The service was excellent as well; they accommodated both of our dietary restrictions perfectly. This is definitely the kind of place where you want to book your next meal before you even leave the restaurant!"
