The Ivy Cafe Wimbledon Village

I had a Mother's Day treat from my daughter today. It was a wonderful day. The staff were wonderful and professional. Very friendly and considerate especially as it was a very busy day. I liked the fact that you are not rushed and staff leave you to enjoy your meal at your own pace. Food was delicious and surprised myself when I cleaned my plate. Not a morsel left!

★★★★★ Fantastic Valentine’s Day Experience! Had a wonderful Valentine’s dinner at The Ivy Wimbledon! The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. A special thank you to Emma C. who went above and beyond to make our evening extra special her attention to detail and warm hospitality truly stood out. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the overall experience was flawless. Highly recommend for a special night out. Will definitely be back!

Ivy Wimbledon has everything you could want in terms of atmosphere and interior design. The space is elegant and stylish, creating a truly luxurious dining experience. The service was also exceptional – friendly and attentive, making the entire meal enjoyable. I had the 2-course lunch menu, and both the chicken skewers and seabass were delicious. The portions were generous, and the dishes were fresh and full of flavor. The seabass was particularly impressive, cooked perfectly with a tender texture. From the ambiance to the service to the food, everything was spot on, and I would definitely visit again!

Great food - superb service. They were happy and helpful accommodating the needs of my sound and crowd sensitive son. And what a visually beautiful place!

Quite disappointed with the experience whilst the food tasted fine, the service is very poor, it took ages to get drinks and some items requested never came. We had scallops, burger and blackened cod, each had a cocktail, and a glass of wine. We skipped dessert for to the inattentive service. Scallops and burger were both very over cooked. The cod was delicious and perfectly cooked. Top notch cocktails, deuce and fig leaf negroni. Will still return as I think this was a once off and the atmosphere is lovely, will see how the next visit compares.

One weekday evening, I visited this place with people I care about, and I was genuinely surprised to find such an atmospheric spot in Wimbledon. The ambiance exuded from the interior itself—elegant yet understated, luxurious without going overboard. It struck the perfect balance. The staff’s service was as delightful as the food’s flavors, which made me savor every bite, something I hadn’t done in a while. The prices were fair, and it’s a spot I’d love to revisit with loved ones right here in the neighborhood. It’s a place that can easily turn an ordinary evening into something a bit more memorable.

Me and my son travelled to St George's Hospital for a yearly spinal follow up (1 year on post a 2nd spinal surgery) appointment from Brighton today, arrived far too early so decided to go for lunch somewhere in Wimbledon Village. We love The Ivy in the Lanes and The Ivy Asia in Brighton so thought why not try The Ivy Cafe in Wimbledon! We went in without a prior booking and got greeted and welcomed by Sabeel who found us a table and was extremely attentive! We thoroughly enjoyed the meal which was cooked to perfection and did not keep us waiting to be served which was a real bonus! My son ordered a crispy duck salad (shock, he is a very fussy eater!) and said it was the best salad he ever had! We had a little chat with Sabeel, I mentioned I celebrated my birthday last week and had a lovely lunch at The Ivy in Brighton, next thing I know, there was a happy birthday profiterole on the table with a candle on it! The guy at the bar was also very lovely, came over to our table to check if drinks were OK! I'm sorry, I did not get his name but got a lovely photo of him as we were departing! The whole experience was second to none! Very well done and thank you! The Ivy Cafe Wimbledon, you definitely have 2 gems working for you, they definitely deserve a pat on their backs!

We were here on Wednesday for our anniversary, our very first date was here so we come every year to celebrate as well as other visits during the year. We sat in the small conservatory at the back which we like, It’s a little away from the busy main restaurant. I’ve left many reviews of the ivy before, all 5 star, The Ivy is a really safe option in the village for a nice night out. Not this time! Our waitress was, to be honest, not very nice and didn’t seem to be enjoying her job. Our requested water didn’t turn up, we asked twice and in the end another waiter delivered. Everything seemed to be a real effort to ask. The wait times between courses were just too long. I ordered a £40 steak, ordered - Medium rare. The steak was overcooked and really chewy. At no point did our waitress ask “How was our meal” i would have pointed out the disappointing steak. When the meal was finished our waitress finally turned up and i mentioned the steak, she shrugged her shoulders and didn’t respond! Awful. We were served a nice anniversary dessert and the tall waiter came over and we had a nice chat and i mentioned the steak, i told him i had mentioned this already to our waitress, he, without fuss removed the steak from the bill - thank you. Overall we had a pleasant evening but its a shame it was marred by the bad/slow service which is unusual for the Ivy.
