We made a spontaneous visit to The Ivy Blackheath this Sunday and were delighted that the host graciously accommodated us without a reservation, for which we were most grateful. We encountered a minor issue with a gift voucher received at Christmas, but the team handled it with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. Tea’s service was truly impeccable throughout, ensuring our drinks were always topped up and that we were well looked after. We very much look forward to our next visit.

Such a fantastic location for a delicious meal. As always the team is incredibly welcoming and friendly. We always have a great experience here. Would love to see more on the brunch menu though!!

So I had the pleasure of joining my work colleagues here for our traditional Christmas dinner. While I wasn't expecting much, it turned out to be a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience even for a group of six! The atmosphere, even though traditional, was very relaxing and our host was cheerful and friendly. The service was well paced. The food was from a Christmas 3 course set menu that did have a good range and we all found something on it that we liked. I had the steak which was delicious but would have been better if it came with a sauce of some sort. Having said that, there were only empty plates left in the end! A little pricey but we all had such a pleasurable and memorable experience and the service was top-notch. Pleased to say I will be returning to this one with the family in the not too distant future!

Thank you so much to the wonderful,charming professional Carlos for a warm welcome for my birthday dinner. We were then assisted by the ever professional,friendly and helpful Bushra. Dinner was delicious thank you to all those who prepared and cooked our dinner you all did an amazing job and to all those behind the scene who contributed enormously for a memorable evening please know that EVERYONE your contribution does not go unnoticed.

Here’s an even longer and more detailed version that keeps all the enthusiasm and warmth: We recently celebrated both our birthdays at IVE in Blackheath, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Choosing IVE was the best decision we could have made! From the moment we walked in, we felt the special, welcoming energy of the restaurant. The ambiance struck a perfect balance between elegant and cozy, creating a setting that felt both festive and intimate—the perfect backdrop for a birthday celebration! 🎈😊 Let’s talk about the food. Every dish was a delight! We started with appetizers that were beautifully presented and full of rich, balanced flavors. It was clear that the ingredients were fresh and carefully chosen, and each plate felt thoughtfully crafted. Our main courses were just as impressive, with each bite bursting with flavor. From the quality of the ingredients to the creativity in each dish, you could tell that the chefs take real pride in their work. We finished the meal with desserts that were the cherry on top—decadent, satisfying, and, of course, delicious! It’s rare to find a restaurant where every course feels like a standout, but at IVE, that’s exactly how it was. 🍽️✨ But what truly made the night unforgettable was the exceptional service. Honestly, this was the best service we’ve experienced in London in nearly a year. So many places these days add a service charge to the bill, and sometimes the personal touch seems to be missing because of it. But at IVE, the service felt genuine, attentive, and completely in tune with what we needed to make our night special. Our server was so warm and friendly, and they had the perfect balance of being there when we needed anything without being intrusive. We felt genuinely valued as guests, which is such a rare treat these days. It’s clear that the staff at IVE truly care about their guests, and it made all the difference. They definitely deserved every bit of the service charge, and we were happy to leave them an extra tip on top of it! 😊💖 If you’re looking for an experience that combines delicious food, fantastic service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, IVE in Blackheath should be at the top of your list. They made our birthday celebration feel truly special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better evening. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy another meal there, and we’d recommend it to anyone looking to celebrate or simply have a wonderful dining experience. IVE is truly a gem—thank you for an unforgettable night! 🥂🎉
