The Ivy Soho Brasserie

A quite disappointing experience at this place. I ordered a vegetarian full breakfast and asked for gluten free bread. When the plate arrived, not only the bread was missing but roasted potatoes that were supposed to be on the plate, were missing, too. When I asked what happened to them, the waiter answered that he “assumed” that since I’ve asked for gluten free bread, I couldn’t eat potatoes either. He hadn’t checked with me, he just assumed. Then I had to wait another 10 minutes for the gluten free bread to arrive as he had obviously forgotten to order it. So I ended up eating my breakfast which was already cold but also not very good as the whites in the poached eggs were not really cooked through…. The only positive thing I can say is that they agreed to offer me a discount (they didn’t offer by themselves, I had to ask to compensate the missing potatoes) I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place as service is poor and so is the food.

We had an impromptu lunch which and were able to book a table in the morning for the day off. Service was unreal, Kayleigh (i hope i've spelt your name right), our host was really warm and welcoming and suggested some great drinks for the table. We had a guest who had a gluten allergy and was really well looked after flagging his allergies too. Food was great - the vegan cheeseburger was 10/10 as was the mac and cheese.
