V I celebrated my birthday at The Ivy Soho Brasserie in their private dining space, the Blake Room, and it was honestly such a beautiful and memorable experience.
From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted so warmly, and there’s a lovely atmosphere throughout the restaurant. It was busy, but in the best way — a great buzz, vibrant energy, and a really welcoming feel that immediately set the tone for the evening.
Pauline, my event manager, helped me plan my birthday in the private dining room and was fantastic throughout the entire planning and booking process. She made everything feel seamless and easy, and although planning a big birthday is naturally a bit stressful, she was incredibly reassuring every step of the way. I had quite a few guests with different requests and dietary requirements, and she was so accommodating and supportive, which really put me at ease. She truly delivered — the day came together perfectly.
On the night itself, Carlo and Josh, the manager and waiter, were amazing. The service was warm, professional, and they genuinely went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy with their food, and well looked after. Drinks were served promptly, and so many of my guests commented on how attentive and kind the service was.
The food was absolutely delicious — beautifully prepared, full of flavour, and very satisfying. A big thank you as well to the kitchen team for being so attentive and happy to assist with any adjustments on the day. Everything ran so smoothly.
The room looked stunning, well decorated, the service was outstanding, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. This birthday meant a lot to me, and the entire team made it truly unforgettable.
A massive thank you to Pauline, Carlo, Josh, and the whole Ivy Soho team. I couldn’t recommend The Ivy Soho Brasserie more.
