One of the bartenders was kind enough to keep running us water, and the bar was full service: not something I'd ever expect, espescially in London. The 12 percent service fee is more than fair, though the cocktail prices run a bit too high to be justified by even the quirky decorations. Definitely a good place to visit once or twice, solo or with a mate.

There is a standard menu but you can always ask for something different and the end result is tantalisingly good. Worth it. I promise.

The restaurant itself is decorated with a classy-whimsical taste, that feels fun and regal at the same time. If you come, ask to be seated in the parlor terrace area.

I had the absolute gorgeous Massaman Duck Curry. It was mouth watering with tons of flavor. I will be craving this for some time. For desert, I had the sticky toffee pudding which was delightful. Highly recommend The Ivy if you're in central London.

It took 25 mins to place our drink order- then about 30 more mins to get our food, after placing that order. Then we had to wait to place a dessert order. Then we had to wait for the check. One word for this comes to mind...'waiting'. We found ourselves waiting every step of the way for our waiter to acknowledge us. Honestly I can forgive A LOT if people are nice but that wasn't the case with our server. Low energy, not very warm and welcoming and slow. Actually to be fair, I got a smile from the busboy when I was on my way to the restroom- perhaps the 2 should switch roles if the restaurant is looking for repeat visits or nice reviews. Btw- the manager...not exactly sure what he was doing. One last thing, I've had sea bass in many restaurants and never had anyone leave the skin on-Just not what I expected. This restaurant gets 2 thumbs down for me. Go to Bills right around the corner - save some money - and get a smile from the staff and a nice greeting.

I have been to two different locations, but they were both gorgeous spots, like the look and vibe is top notch. The drinks? Kitschy and weird as hell. Do they taste good though?

Some are a show to watch them being made, some are diy mixed at the table by you. I was brought here the first time by a family friend who lives in London, and when I returned a year and a half later, with our hotel around the corner from an Alchemist, I made ALL my friends on the trip go here on our first night. And we all returned at least once more during our week in the city. Service was good and patient with our large group, food was decent...I simply have had an amazing time every time I have gone to the Alchemist and if there was one in my hometown I would be out of house and home giving them all my money. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

The location is fantastic, the customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable breakfast. I started with a cappuccino and added salted caramel, but honestly, the cappuccino was so good it didn't even need it. It was smooth, rich, and perfectly made on its own. For breakfast, I ordered the Eggs Benedict. They offer two versions: one with pulled beef and one Florentine. As someone from the US who's a bit of an Eggs Benedict snob, I've tried countless versions over the years, and pulled beef just wasn't something I could picture working with it. I went with the Florentine and customized it by adding bacon, avocado, and a side of sausage. One thing I've learned while visiting the UK is that the sausages are much larger than what I'm used to back home! I honestly could have skipped it because it was so filling. The Benedict itself was unique--the base was almost like a buttery croissant instead of a traditional English muffin, and it came with pickled red onions, which was an interesting touch. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, and I especially enjoyed it with the added bacon. The food was fresh, high quality, and beautifully prepared. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside, but I chose to sit outside and enjoy some people watching, which made for a relaxing start to the day. Overall, a great breakfast spot with delicious food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

The signature cocktails…read moremenu has changed several times over the years, but the service is still top notch, and I'm happy to report that the newest cocktail menu is the best it's been since the Imagination menu when I first started coming here. The cocktails are all delicious, and live up to their exotic names and creative descriptions. My personal favorite is the Kentucky Gourmand, which is a tasty, peanut-buttery take on a classic Old Fashioned. It isn't too sweet, and still packs a punch, so if you enjoy your whiskey, this bad boy is for you. The menu offers a little something for everyone, and if the stronger drinks aren't your forté, then you might give the Cider Side or Popping Bubbles a try. Even their pickled martini seems to be making the rounds as one of the hottest drinks - no pun intended - on the menu. The food is still, thankfully, amongst the best bar food you'll ever have - if a bit pricey. And, the atmosphere blends swanky bar vibes with fancy living room chic, managing to be comfortable and ritzy, without being pretentious.
