    We were mainly looked after by Dan and he was great - attentive, professional and friendly. The food was excellent as always - cheese souffle starter, tempura prawns and curried duck main all delicious! The apple tart, as recommended by one of the other staff members, was superb! We love the atmosphere at Clifton Ivy and it's a firm favourite.

    Lovely atmosphere and decor really good with nice lighting. Staff were excellent and couldn’t do enough for you. Food was first class with healthy portion sizes. The wine was fantastic as was the cocktails we had after our meal. The prices are probably about on a par with this sort of restaurant and we felt it was good value. Wouldn’t hesitate to visit here again. Many thanks

    All the servers were so helpful and generous with their time. Superb experience, the manageress is equally as helpful and professional. Second time I've been here this year, really impressed. One of our party is coeliac, and it's great to go to a restaurant where you can eat safe safely and easily.
