Afternoon tea at Ivy Asia Mayfair:
Pleasant restaurant, nice food but the service was way below par and frankly awful!
Our waiter was frankly uninterested and not once checked on us. We asked for a vegetarian afternoon tea, as one person was vegetarian and the other did not eat fish or shellfish. He kept referring us to the allergens page by scanning a code, but we were confused why if we asked for vegetarian options. When the food came he did not explain what was on the trays, just walked off. We celebrated a birthday, which the restaurant knew, and no effort at all was made about it. We had to wait and ask for spoons be able to eat our dessert. Not to mention that our plates were not changed and had to eat our desserts off the plate used for dumplings etc.
I had afternoon tea celebrating mums birthday at Ivy Asia St Paul’s last month and the experience was not comparable. Friendly staff constantly checking on you, couldn’t be more helpful and even went to an effort to present my mum with a little bday treat, which was not expected! None of this was the case at this restaurant :(
We will not be returning to Ivy Asia Mayfair and certainly won’t recommend it to anyone.
