Absolutely amazing experience at Nottingham Ivy, it was mine and my boyfriend’s first time going and they made us feel instantly welcome. We celebrated our anniversary and they even accommodated for my boyfriends dairy allergy when they served me the chocolate bombe (Without us having to ask for a small alternative for him), Thankyou for making our night unforgettable

We had lunch in bar area as we had a dog with us. Area was clean, staff were attentive and friendly and food very good, and very good value. Bar looks out onto back. Felt more could have been made of the back yard maybe with some pots of flowers to enhance the view, and the music was only just below an intrusive level. Lovely meal though.
