Overview

The Ivy is part of the large Ivy group that has restaurants all over Britain. They promote their restaurants as being sophisticated and relaxed. I love my food and this place does serve good quality dishes but for me the place is bit pompous.

Transport & Parking

Being in the center of Glasgow means there is good transport links. Buses, trains and subway [inaccessible for wheelchairs] are all close by. There are disabled parking bays in St. Vincent Place about 100 yards away.

Access

The doors had to be held open for me but being in Buchanan Street meant there was plenty of people around. Tables are fairly quite close so moving about is quite difficult. I had booked so they knew I was coming and had given me a suitable table. The table supports had round basis which makes it a bit difficult to get close to because of the foot plates on my chair.

Toilets

The toilet was spacious and very clean.

Staff

Although I have no complaints about the staff, I felt they were also a bit pompous.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

If you like your food and you would like a fancy night out, this is a good choice. I just prefer my dining a bit more casual.
