I was originally sad when they turned The Ivy brand into a chain because I love the original Covent Garden restaurant on which the chain is based.

However, both times I have visited a branch of the restaurant, the food, decor and surroundings have been delightful and, slightly cheaper.

This restaurant is spacious and a buzzing hub of the Soho media set.

I'll be back here, often.
