Such a great experience! I came for a birthday meal with my friends and they went above and beyond to make it special. I am always a little nervous to go to places as I am gluten free and don't want to be difficult, but Izzie was super attentive, always cracking us up (despite being very busy) and nothing seemed too much to ask. The service and food were speedy and I loved their tiramisu!!
Visited yesterday for both breakfast and later for dinner.
Cote chosen primarily to cater for eight year old granddaughter who has Coeliac condition.We were on half term break to Winchester. It is so often difficult to find a restaurant, where there is reliable knowledge of the dietary needs this condition.
We were confidently catered for !! Staff were courteous and helpful. The food was delicious.Much appreciation for a worry free experience
We had a lovely birthday meal here.
Food was reasonably priced and tasted delicious. The tart was especially good! I found the crumble a little too cinnimon-y for my liking but otherwise delicious. Also had a variety of gluten free and vegan options.
Service was also really friendly although a little too efficient at times. They took away the dips from our appetiser whilst I was literally still holding bread in my hand.
Atmosphere so lovely. Nice decor and lighting. Table behind us was a little obnoxious and loud but not the restaurant's fault.
Would come back.
Good range of food, veggie and gluten free. A group of 8 of us on a busy Saturday afternoon they were able to seat us quite quickly, ordered drinks, from the children's menu, they have a allergens menu via a qr code. Friendly staff too
We rented The Black Room at Forte for my baby’s 1st birthday. The staff were excellent and made the day completely hassle-free; we arrived to a room already set up for us, and were assisted with displaying the food we had brought with us for the babies. The canapés provided by Forte was excellent - everyone commented on how good they were! And they were able to accommodate dietary requirements of some of our guests (gluten free, vegan etc.) Thank you to the team! Would highly recommend for any event.

Visited the Ivy on a Sunday evening with some friends. We found the service somewhat lacking and had to ask for some things more than once and service took a long time.
I advised the waitress that I was gluten free which was fine but everything had to be researched via an app, I ordered but then I was surprised when I was served fries with my meal. I hadn't ordered them so was reluctant to eat them as I didn't know if they were safe for me to eat (it later turned out they were not). When we finally got the ladies attention we asked about the fries and explained I have a gluten allergy so I'm not sure I should have had them. The waitress said they were served in error but they wont be on the bill. Well obviously...
The starter was amazing, and the main was okay but for the price I would have expected slightly higher standard. Other peoples meals were a mix of 'fine' and 'really good'.
It wasn't overly busy so the noise levels were good and atmosphere much better than that of a Friday and Saturday, but the staff didnt seem to be on their game which was a bit disappointing.
I don't think we'll be rushing back to be honest. The allergy thing is made difficult here, having to cross check the menu with an app where the titles might not be the same. You can't join in conversations as you're heads down trying to figure out what you can have with little staff involvement to help you out.
If the Ivy is happy to serve a Vegan menu, why not have a Gluten free menu? It's just lazy and exclusive
We stayed tonight with my wife. . We got on very well. The restaurant is welcoming, excellent food and service. I'd like to leave a positive feedback for the the manager that served me tonight. She was very kind, well-prepared and professional. Furthermore, at the demand for gluten-free food for my wife, she made sure that the kitchen environment was free of contamination in the preparation of the dish. We been extremely happy to eat here.
Really helpful staff with excellent knowledge of food intolerances. Most of the burgers can be adapted for the gluten and dairy intolerant. The only negative was the noise levels, would probably benefit from some soft furnishings to absorb the noise. Burgers were amazing!
