I totally have to agree with the burrpers who've mentioned the bad service.. and wish i had read the reviews before going to Ivy. But then again, I've been quite a regular at Ivy because it is as close as you can get to gourmet food in Chembur/Ghatkopar. The food till date, is cooked to perfection and the presentation is exceptional. Try the paneer kurkure, fish curry (parents loved it) and the malwani fare. The chinese is best avoided. The desserts are presented in a big, tempting tray...an offer you cant refuse.
Having said that, the reason behind Ivy's infamy is purely its service. Slow, haphazard and sometimes even rude. We didn't get a glass of water until we did the samba to get the waiter's attention! I called for a tomato corn soup and requested the waiter to put half of it away (in the kitchen, to keep it warm) as my mom had not yet arrived. He looked confused first, then stupid, and then straightaway refused to comply, saying that he could not prepare half of the soup separately. Wait, what?
