IVY Restaurant · Bar in Karlsruhe

I thought me and my partner would have a nice evening here. When we came in they parked us right in the back corner and I immediately had the feeling that they didn't want us there. The waiter did his job wonderfully and the cocktails were also passable. When the bill came I fell out of my chair. For the money you can definitely get more unusual and higher quality products in other high-priced cocktail bars and you will also feel wanted.

I wasn't that happy with the menu selection, I would have liked a lot more options, which is actually the main reason why I probably wouldn't come back. The main course I chose and the cocktail were excellent, and the dessert was also really delicious, which I received for free as a birthday child - great gesture. The service still needs to be worked on. After dessert we stayed seated, unsure whether we should go to a bar or continue drinking at the Ivy. Since we were engrossed in conversation, the waitress came three times and simply asked “And??”, which we perceived as very rude. If the table was needed, they would have been welcome to let us know, but in appropriate language. When we then ordered the bill, it didn't come for 15-20 minutes, which was very strange for us because at first we had the feeling that they wanted to get rid of us, then we want to pay and suddenly we have to wait!? Other than that we had a good experience and the kitchen & bar did an excellent job!

Were there a few times, but still under the old management. The food was always great and we generally had nothing to complain about. Unfortunately, we no longer respond to inquiries (via the contact form). I have also asked several times, as a message can sometimes get lost.

Great ambience, food was good. Unfortunately service not so good. We waited at the entrance for 5 minutes, despite there being staff. 1/2 hour for our water, then the wrong one came. As well as the food... not all tables were occupied. A bit of room for improvement, otherwise gladly again.

Unfortunately, the price/performance ratio no longer fits at all! The service lady was very nice, the main course (RiFi + + truffle noodles for €72) was nothing special, truffles used to be at least freshly grated at the table. Starter was delicious (tuna ceviche).

If you like long waiting times, bad to disgusting food, completely overpriced prices, broken promises and a dingy atmosphere, this is the place for you.

Were here for the first time, the taste of the food was very convincing, but you had to wait a relatively long time and the menu didn't match the one on the website. We had to cut back on drinks several times because things weren't available.

At first impression the service was very professional. But then the fun began. We had to wait 1 hour for our starter (30 minutes for a gin) and then another 90 minutes for our main course. When we asked what was wrong with the food, we were given cheap excuses. The (empty) tables around us were not cleared throughout our entire stay. Apart from that the restaurant was occupied by a maximum of 25 guests. The taste of our steak was a 10 out of 10 Any intern from an Italian restaurant would have done a better job with the linguine (truffle pasta in parmesan cheese). Service, initially great -> later flop I will not visit this restaurant again!

Honestly waiting one hour for a glass of wine is toooo much!!!! The food took long too, there’s only 3 people in the restaurant working in a restaurant with 90 people….its ridiculous!!!!!

The service is very nice and professional. The food is really delicious and well prepared, you really can't complain about the service and food. The most recommended are the Ivy Tacos. Unfortunately, the tables are all very close together so that the waiters hardly have any space to clear away and you feel quite overheard and crowded.

An absolute must! The restaurant is a true gem. The service is excellent – ​​we felt very welcome from the start. A special shout out to Kerim who took care of everything and made us feel like special guests. The food is incredibly delicious and of the highest quality. You can immediately tell that only the best ingredients are used here! The atmosphere is also breathtaking and invites you to relax and enjoy. I can only recommend it to everyone – we will definitely come back!

Der Empfang war mäßig, die junge Frau verstand gefühlt kein Wort. Um 20.30h saßen wir am Tisch, die bestellte Flasche Wasser kam, uns wurde ein Glas eingeschenkt, danach verschwanden Bedienung und unsere noch gefüllte Flasche auf Nimmer- Wiedersehen. Bis zur Aufgabe der Bestellungen bei einer anderen Servicekraft dauerte es ewig, der bestellte Wein war aus, die Hauptspeise kam um 22h. Zu dem Zeitpunkt war uns der Appetit leider schon vergangen. Und bei den Preisen ein absolutes No-go. Schade, leider nicht mehr zu empfehlen.

If you want to generate recordings for Instagram or Tiktok, you've come to the right place. The rest is like a beginner pop-up restaurant. Bread came after 50 minutes, starter after 65 minutes - tacos that were more like a biscuit, we had to point out the wine we had ordered with the starter, main course after over 120 minutes... Mind you, we constantly had to refill the wine ourselves. We wouldn't go anymore.

Very pleasant service, unique ambience and great cocktails

Absolute heart recommendation! I celebrated my 30th birthday there last year with a large party. Everything was just perfect - excellent food, great service and an upscale atmosphere. Dessert took a while to arrive, but it was worth it!

It was really a wonderful and perfect evening. My husband and I felt very comfortable. The food was excellent, we have never eaten such good steak! The waiters were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back (we made a reservation at the restaurant that same evening for our next visit.) Ps: please keep the truffle pasta on the menu ♡ It was really perfect with you!

Dank einer Empfehlung eines Freundes über die Dyli-App habe ich dieses Restaurant entdeckt. Die Atmosphäre war stilvoll, das Essen kreativ angerichtet und geschmacklich hervorragend. Absolut einen Besuch wert!

Unfortunately I was very disappointed. As the first guests in the restaurant, we waited over an hour for our steaks. In addition, one steak wasn't even cooked to the desired level. To my liking, it was also too fried on the outside and therefore not too tender and gentle on the inside when chewed. When I asked for some more port wine jus, it took far too long for it to reach me. My meat was already cold by then. Luckily I only went to the toilets after eating, because the smell that hits you as soon as you get out of the elevator is more than unpleasant. A stinky and foul smell... to make you really sick. The toilets weren't in the cleanest condition either. The service was friendly and not objectionable. For me the Ivy is more appearance than reality. Price performance poor. I'd rather stay loyal to my other steak restaurant.

0 stars! A table for 8 people was ordered by phone and confirmed, a menu was put together, which I don't think is necessary for 8 people, but that's not relevant. Now comes the annoying part. We arrived the evening the table was reserved and were told the name wasn't in their "system" so no table and no food!! This so-called shift manager that evening wanted to treat us to an aperitif, his statement: he was sorry but he didn't have much food that could be cooked. If you had made an effort and talked to the kitchen, I think a solution would have been found. He offered us ZERO alternatives, after all it wasn't our fault! After a long discussion, we left with 8 people and an empty stomach, and we were forced to To another restaurant. Very bad!!

Leider sehr enttäuschend, wir waren bis letztes Jahr, immer sehr begeistert und zufrieden vom Essen und Service, leider war heute nichts mehr davon übrig. Der Service, war für das eigentliche Niveau unterirdisch, das Essen war ok, die Flasche Wein für 59€ leider viel zu warm. Der Kellner hat es abgetan und gemeint im Weinkühler wird er nach einer kurzen Zeit kalt, dem war natürlich nicht so. Unser Fazit von heute, schade aber “Wir waren das letzte Mal hier“

Waited 1.5 hours for the food! Never again !!

We had a perfect anniversary dinner on Monday evening, our waiter Kerim accompanied us throughout the evening in a more than competent and courteous manner. It was our first but definitely not our last time here. Price performance fits 100%.

We really enjoyed the evening in the restaurant. The vegetarian surprise menu was excellent in terms of composition, portion size, variety and taste and was also beautifully presented. The price-performance ratio is very good. The service was extremely friendly and competent. Always my pleasure.

Unfortunately a failure. It felt like more than half of the card was out of stock. Unfortunately, there was no mention of this when making the reservation in advance. In the end we had to cancel the visit because we couldn't find anything suitable to order. The bottle of water (for €8) was not offered to us “for free” (as a courtesy). Too bad. If I were a restaurant owner, I definitely would have.

Overpriced. Once I had slightly moldy meat and then it was only after discussion that we got a replacement that wasn't cooked through. The owner also threatened us with certain groups. Never again!

This owner is a disgusting person, I'm at a loss for words.

After we were here for the third time, it got worse every time. Ingredients that are not in stock, wine that is not available and waiting times of over 1 hour for the starter. For the main course, the meat was lukewarm and the requested side dishes came too late and were not those specified on the menu. All this for the high price is not OK! More appearance than reality! Why didn't we warn everything on site? Because you don't want to completely ruin your evening!

We just recently went to ivy's on a Saturday evening, we've been wanting to go there for a while and we finally made it. After looking through the menu, we wanted to know what would be included in the menu (€79/person). It's supposed to give a glimpse of the ivy's kitchen, a little bit of everything, and they wanted to make it feel like you're at home, where you can all sit together from the middle of the table, etc., or so they said. After 1.5 hours of waiting, apologies from the service staff and compensatory drinks, our long-awaited starter finally arrived. There was 1 mini wrap with a fried chicken piece (nugget size) and some salad, plus 1 fried fish ball and a bowl with raw fish, mango and vegetables, all of which was marinated. Overall, the waiting time was far too long for the little bit of starter. It should also be mentioned here that they apologized not only to us but also to neighboring tables for the long wait. Still don't know what exactly went wrong, at least a few things. After almost 2 hours we had to point out to the service staff that we wouldn't have to wait that long again for the main course and that we would then want to cancel the whole thing, pay and leave. In fact, it happened pretty quickly. The main course was definitely better than the starter, only the mashed potatoes had no taste at all, the meat and fish were okay. Unfortunately the meat was served on a cold plate and by the time we were presented with the main course it was already cold. Let's move on to dessert, now hold on tight... There was a variation of cakes (poppy seed cake, cherry crumble cake and two sorbets). I could have lived with the sorbet, but these cakes absolutely didn't work. We also told the waitress this in the same way... if we had wanted to eat ice cream, we would have gone to an ice cream parlor and if we had wanted to eat cake, we would have gone to a bakery. When we asked for the bill after wasting 3-4 hours of our Saturday evening, we were not charged for the compensatory drinks as well as a menu. Of course the service staff couldn't do anything about it, but they get it, so to speak. They tried to save what they could save, but this catastrophe in the kitchen could no longer be saved.

Overpriced for the quality of the food. Very long waiting times for the food. No timing of serving the food with the other people at the table. Either the cutlery was missing and the food was already in front of you or the cutlery was laid out but it didn't fit the dish (knife and fork for tagliatelle - a spoon would have been desirable; soup spoon for dessert)... Main courses were sometimes served almost cold. Additionally dirty edges of the glasses and unkempt and dirty toilets in the basement… Conclusion: never again

Leider absolut nicht mehr vergleichbar mit dem was das Restaurant noch vor einem Jahr geleistet hatte. Weder die Qualität des Essens noch der Service kann mit dem früheren Niveau mithalten. Das essen wurde teilweise kalt serviert. Teller für das Sharing Menu wurden erst nach dem Essen auf Nachfrage gebracht. Insgesamt wartete man sehr sehr lange auf den nächsten Gang (1-2 Stunden). Das war wohl der letzte Besuch in unserem früheren Lieblingsrestaurant in Karlsruhe. Fazit: Essen 2/5 -> insgesamt nicht den Preis würdig Preis-Leistung 1/5 -> Essen und Service nicht den Preis würdig Service 2/5 -> Personal zwar stets bemüht, aber Service gleicht nicht dem Anspruch der Preisklasse des Restaurants

Service was very inexperienced, we waited far too long for the food. Beer was poured into the glass at the seat and overflowed, the same thing happened again the second time. The taste of the food was ok but it couldn't be compared to before. We used to enjoy staying at the ivy, but we wouldn't go back now. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio is no longer right.

Visited the Ivy again after a long time. I was very disappointed! The food tasted very good, but my steak was cold. In addition, tables were not cleared and were full. When we left we were asked if everything was to our satisfaction. I mentioned my cold steak, but this was completely ignored and seemed completely indifferent!

Wir mussten 2 Stunden auf unsere Nachspeise warten, dafür super Essen . Ich empfehle das Restaurant eher für Personen die gut Zeit haben

I ate there yesterday and I can only recommend the restaurant! The food and drinks were incredibly delicious and the ambience was really great! I'll definitely come again❤️

Service is very cool and pleasant, The ambience really appeals to you. Food, generous in price but the taste is good. Before, I always avoided eating octopus tentacles. These in the starter were smoked, fried, a little salty and really tasty. I didn't even notice the rest, I was so amazed by the things

Tolles Restaurant mit edler Einrichtung. Der Service ist ausgezeichnet, supernett und behilflich bei der Essenswahl. Die Gerichte sind sehr lecker und ansprechend angerichtet. Ein Highlight waren die Linguine im Parmesanleib mit Trüffel. Sensationell! Danke sehr.

Wow for me by far the best restaurant in Karlsruhe!!! Food, service, ambience, everything is world class. Thanks for this lovely evening

BRILLIANT great food very nice service Thanks!

Very stylish location with very friendly staff. The food is very good, but also expensive. Spaghetti in a parmesan wheel is prepared and served in style. However, it is not possible to experience this directly at the table at the back because the cart is too wide for the aisle. That was a bit of a shame. Otherwise everything was fine.

Everything was good except the food. For the expensive price I expect a very high quality meal. Tartar meat didn't taste good. There was no truffle for the truffle pasta, despite a reduction of €5, €28 is too much for pasta with cream sauce. Mojito wasn't particularly good either.

In dieser preislich ambitionierten Liga sind Top-Qualität der Speisen und ausgezeichneter Service Selbstverständlichkeiten, die der Gast voraussetzen darf. Die Top- Qualität der Speisen könnte belegen, die Lieferanten zu benennen, denn Regionalität und Herkunft sind bei Fleisch, Salat und anderen Speisen ein Indiz für Qualität. Dass der Service die Bestellung des Gastes am Tisch wiederholt, ist nett aber ohne Wert, wenn dann Getränk und Beilage falsch gebracht werden. Ansonsten war der Service sehr aufmerksam, zuvorkommend und freundlich. Das Essen kam nach angemessener Wartezeit und war lecker und appetitlich angerichtet. Wenn der Gast sich Wasser selbst nachschenkt, ist das okay. Erleben wir in dieser Liga auch anders, ist aber auch eine Frage der Personalstärke im Service. Und das die Tische recht nah beieinander stehen und ohne Raumteiler es doch recht transparent und hellhörig zum Nachbartisch ist, okay, es ist das Kennzeichen der leicht schummrigen, coolen Atmosphäre. Das Publikum passt dazu. Durchmischt von jung bis alt, international, anspruchsvoll, entspannt. Insgesamt verlassen wir das Restaurant zufrieden, der Besuch war gut und wir waren nicht enttäuscht. In dieser Preisklasse ist die Luft dünn…

It was a very special experience :) The ambience is amazing and so is the food. The sharing menu was perfectly designed for 2 & there are many taste experiences 🙃 The service was great, but a bit “over the top”

Excellent food, but not cheap. Hip design, everything very exclusive. Service correspondingly good.

The food was FANTASTIC! We had breakfast and dinner at IVY Restaurant and we were so happy with all we ate. Beautiful ambience and friendly service. Must be visited when you're in Karlsruhe!

Price performance is definitely not right! The food is sometimes boring and without any pizzazz (the tuna for example). With the prices you just have to get more. In addition, the service (which seems to consist exclusively of trainees or students) is completely overwhelmed. At least the ambience is right. You sit comfortably with pleasant background music. All in all, it was a disappointing visit that remains “unique”.

Food was good, unfortunately the service for this restaurant was unsatisfactory, the food took 40 minutes, unfortunately we were forgotten. Unfortunately, there was no suitable excuse for me. Brick and bones is in a better position, which is a shame!

I have to say the restaurant surprised us from A to Z. If you sleep in Hotel 133 you don't need to look for a restaurant, go to their own restaurant IVY. Our waiters Steven and Ilya did a great job. They were always at the table to make sure everything was okay. Super professional and with a lot of passion behind it. A few dishes were prepared at the table and it was always a pleasure to watch them. The dishes were excellently prepared with a lot of sophistication. The cocktails were also very tasty and quickly prepared. Again, thanks to the bartender. Thanks to the entire kitchen team and service team.

We are positively surprised by the excellent service and delicious food at this restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that my dining experience was nothing short of great. Nice place to eat at Karlsruhe ..

I have on January 17th. ordered a voucher for a birthday gift via PayPal via the Ivy homepage, where it was promised that it would be sent immediately by registered mail with a fee of 5 euros. After 1 1/2 weeks still no voucher arrived, I asked several times by phone. I was repeatedly told off that the voucher had already been sent. As my birthday approached, I was given a birthday on January 31st. The voucher was sent by email with my request that I at least be reimbursed for the shipping costs of 5 euros, as I have not received a voucher by post to date. Here I was repeatedly put off by telephone. To date I have not received the shipping costs back.

We've probably been here 6-7 times, but the last time was probably half a year ago. What can I say? The service is a joke. If it weren't so expensive, it would even be a good one. But what was offered here is below all cannon. Half the evening you look at empty glasses, the bread was announced three times and then didn't come. Here are three helpless boys running through the restaurant and trying their best. Awful.

Great restaurant! + Service great + Stunning ambience + Service attentive and friendly + very tasty Absolutely recommended, would love to come back.

Nice vibe, great food and friendly service. It’s a nice and stylish place, great for small events or special occasions. Awesome steaks!

Ambiance is very nice, very modern. Unfortunately, that doesn't make you want to go again. For food: plates carelessly arranged, either lukewarm or cold. The beef fillet was tasty and cooked to the appropriate level. Service: I'm almost at a loss for words. We were ignored almost the entire evening. We didn't have anything to drink for half the evening. There was no thank you or goodbye when I paid. The service employee simply walked away without comment. When we expressed feedback and criticism that evening, the only response was “Aha”. And it wasn't just us, the entire row of tables felt the same way. When it came to dessert, the service staff came and said: You don't want any more dessert, right? Since we were already past the table allocation time, which we couldn't do anything about since it was over an hour between the starter and the main course, they wanted to get rid of us, so to speak, because there was already a huge queue at the entrance. Not our problem but since we actually skipped dessert it still took about 30 minutes until we could pay.

Great ambience, unfortunately the food is very boring and not very satisfactory, the love and passion for food is missing here. Mini portions with little taste at completely overpriced prices, coffee was good and there was also caffeine-free. TOILETS in the basement, accessible via elevator. As soon as you were in the elevator, you smelled a very unpleasant smell, which unfortunately I also smelled later while eating. There were three of us and unfortunately we all had the same impressions. At the next table, both of them lost their meat. It's a shame because it's a nice location

Unfortunately we were very disappointed. After we were among the first in the restaurant and had ordered the 3-course menu, we had to wait 1 hour for the starter and another 1 hour for our main course, which was unfortunately extremely carelessly prepared. Even after the main course we had to wait another hour for dessert... After I asked twice for the bill, it came. Since it is specifically stated when making reservations that the table is only reserved for 2 hours, we were there for almost 4 hours... Unfortunately there was no thank you for the tip and no apology for the long waiting time. For the prices quoted here, you would expect something different and if you seem to have a shortage of staff, which can certainly happen, you can't accept so many reservations. 2 stars because the starter was really good.

Really great food, big compliments to the kitchen. Old service was simply much better and brought atmosphere to the store.

Leider sehr enttäuscht. Wir kamen 5min vor Ladenöffnungszeit um 17:55 Uhr an, uns wurde dann mitgeteilt, dass wir noch warten müssten bis wir an den Tisch gebracht werden. Sie wären noch nicht soweit… Als wir dann unseren Tisch hatten, mussten wir 15min auf die Karten warten, allerdings bekamen wir diese nur auf Nachfrage. Leider ein sehr unstrukturiertes, überfordertes, unprofessionelles Personal. Das spiegelte sich leider auch darin wieder, dass teilweise Mitarbeiter oft am Handy waren und nicht die Gäste bedienten. Die Aperitif die wir bestellten waren soweit gut. Als dann das Essen kam, war die Enttäuschung groß. Für diese Preise war die optische Anmutung des Essens echt eine Katastrophe. Lieblos angerichtet! Hier kann man sich echt etwas mehr Mühe geben. Geschmacklich war das Essen okay, aber keinesfalls den Preisen entsprechend. Da bekommt man in Karlsruhe zu deutlich günstigeren Preisen, besseres Essen. Die Flasche Wein die wir bestellten wurde zwar von Zeit zu Zeit nachgeschenkt, allerdings nicht gefragt wer überhaupt Wein wollte. Wir waren zu viert bei zwei Personen wurde eingeschenkt, die anderen nicht gefragt, ob diese auch Wein wollten. Die Weingläser auf dem Tisch waren bunt gemischt, Rotweingläser und Weißweingläser, diese wurden nicht dem Wein entsprechend ausgetauscht. Es hört sich vielleicht hochnäsig an, aber bei solchen Preisen absolut inakzeptabel! Die Toiletten und der Gang dorthin waren nicht sauber. Es wirkte so als wurden diese eine Woche nicht geputzt. Die „Handtücher“ zum Händetrocknen, war eine Papiertücherbox eines großen Drogeriemarktes mit Sitz in Karlsruhe. Leider ist dies dem Anspruch, das das Restaurant haben möchte nicht gerecht. Preise, Personal und Gesamteindruck mangelhaft. Schade, aber uns habt ihr als Kunden leider nicht gewonnen.

First of all, I would like to point out that this rating is based heavily on prices. If the prices were half as high I would give the restaurant 4 stars. We arrived around 5:50 p.m., 10 minutes before the official opening time. Some employees were standing around idle in the area, but it still took a while before we were noticed. We were then told that they still had to prepare a few things and that we should wait outside. When we finally sat at the table we didn't get any menus for 15 minutes. Only when we requested this did we receive two menus, even though there were four of us, and no drinks menu. The menu was very small and when we asked, we were told the reason was a lack of staff in the kitchen. We ordered 2x lamb's lettuce with pumpkin, the carpaccio and the Ivy Tacos as a starter, and a fillet, the salmon, as well as 2 US bavettes with mashed potatoes and cauliflower and broccoli as the main course. The lamb's lettuce was okay. Standard dressing, acceptable starter portion, but not for the price of €18. The carpaccio was quite good. The Ivy Tacos were extremely disappointing in terms of both the portion size and the meal itself, as the chicken was very dry. Price-performance an absolute disgrace. We ordered a bottle of white wine, but some of us had red wine glasses and some of us only had cutlery for just one dish, which didn't change until the end. When the main courses came, we at least got steak knives shortly afterwards. The salmon was good. The fillet wasn't bad either. It was medium as ordered, the quality was quite good, but overall not good enough for the price. The two US Bavette were okay. The waitress didn't know which bavette had which degree of doneness, which can happen. She said she would ask again in the kitchen, but when she came back there was no answer until she asked, and then a rather hesitant answer: “Yes, that’s how it will be.” In the end, both were medium, even if one was ordered medium rare. The chimichurri and port wine jus were quite good. Also the broccoli and cauliflower. The mashed potatoes tasted as if they had been made from ready-made potato powder, and as if they had put in a hell of a lot of butter to save the mashed potatoes... you almost only tasted butter. The portion was measly for €8, but given the taste I was more grateful than disappointed. We didn't want to order any desserts after the meal... that was it and not worth it. The service was subpar. The only positive thing was that there was a wine recommendation. Otherwise, as described, some menus were only available upon request, the staff was inattentive and only gave some of us more wine. The waitresses mainly chatted among themselves, stood around instead of taking care of the guests, or were on their cell phones. They also found it difficult to put on a smile... The toilets were very dirty, even the way there. As towels there was a DM box with some kind of Tempos inside…

Unfortunately very disappointed. We arrived 5 minutes before the store opened at 5:55 p.m. and were then told that we would have to wait until we were brought to the table. You wouldn't be ready yet... Once we had our table, we had to wait 15 minutes for the tickets, but we only got them when we asked. Unfortunately a very unstructured, overwhelmed, unprofessional staff. Unfortunately, this was also reflected in the fact that some employees were often on their cell phones and not serving the guests. The aperitifs we ordered were good so far. When the food came, the disappointment was great. For these prices, the visual appearance of the food was really a disaster. Carelessly done! You can really put in a little more effort here. The food was okay in terms of taste, but definitely not worth the price. You can get better food at significantly cheaper prices in Karlsruhe. The bottle of wine we ordered was refilled from time to time, but we didn't ask who wanted wine at all. There were four of us and two people were poured, but the others were not asked if they also wanted wine. The wine glasses on the table were mixed, red wine glasses and white wine glasses, these were not exchanged according to the wine. It may sound snobby, but at such prices it is absolutely unacceptable! The toilets and the corridor there were not clean. It looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a week. The “towels” for drying hands were a paper towel box from a large drugstore based in Karlsruhe. Unfortunately, this does not live up to the standards that the restaurant wants to have. Prices, staff and overall impression poor. It's a shame, but unfortunately you didn't win us over as customers.

I have rarely experienced a case where expectations and reality are so far apart. The restaurant has a great location, is stylishly furnished and visually appealing. Fine dining is advertised on the website and the menu also conveys this claim. In reality, however, the plates were carelessly arranged and the degree of doneness of my steak was completely off. The service was inattentive and slow. Some dishes were served on site, which in none of the cases worked as planned. The dishes were generally not served at the same time; it took several minutes until everyone had their food. The good reviews are difficult for me to understand. Maybe we were just unlucky that evening, but nothing was right at all that evening.

Very chic shop and good food. Not very cheap, but you get a lot for your money. The way some of the food is served at the table is half a chow but very entertaining. We will be back

Unfortunately we are disappointed with the restaurant. For this price range you definitely expect a different quality of dishes and service. Maybe we were unlucky that evening because I can't understand the good reviews at all. The plates were arranged carelessly, and some of the food got cold by the time everyone got their orders. An example: Since the starter wasn't that great, I ordered the Wienerschnitzel as the main course. You can't go wrong with that, I thought. Well, the crust was soft, the meat had tendons, was anything but tender and simply dry. Very unfortunate. The ambience and location are great, unfortunately that's not enough.

Ich muss zugeben, die Erwartungen ans Ivy haben sich nicht mit der Realität gedeckt. Vielleicht mag es gerade durch Weihnachtsfeiern etwas voller sein als gewöhnlich, aber 1,5 h Wartezeit bis zur Vorspeise sind schon ein Hammer. Wenn man dann weitere 1,5 h bis zum Hauptgang wartet, dann ist das schon etwas nervig. Auch beim Nachtisch dauerte es nicht die versprochenen "10 Minuten". Der Bezahlvorgang dauerte ebenfalls fast eine Stunde ab Ankündigung. Die Wartezeiten wären zu verschmerzen gewesen, wenn es nicht noch mehrere Schnitzer beim Essen selbst gegeben hätte (Getränke nur teilweise aufgenommen, eine Vorspeise vergessen, ein Hauptgang falsch geliefert, das Essen bei teilweise versalzen). Eine kurze Information durch das Personal, welches sich zumindest sehr bemühte, warum es so lange dauert und vielleicht ein Espresso aufs Haus wären ein geeignetes Entgegenkommen gewesen. Immerhin hatten wir eine lustige Runde, was die Wartezeit etwas abgefedert hat, aber insb. mit Blick auf die gehobenen Preise wurde das Ivy den Erwartungen nicht gerecht. Nach insgesamt 6 Stunden Aufenthalt (maßgeblich verursacht durch die Wartezeiten) hatte sich der im Anschluss geplante Barbesuch auch erledigt.

Very slow servise. We came at the openning at 18 on Thu and waited for 1,5 hours to get our first dish (just salad) and another hour and 15 min (!) to get second dish. All of this in light of the fact that we actually pre-indicated what each of us will be eating week in advance. Food was oversalted.

Sehr schönes Ambiente und das Essen hat uns auch überzeugt. Der Service war schnell freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sehr schöne Location 1A Essen 100% zu empfehlen

Tolle Qualität und geschmacklich sehr gut abgestimmt. Es war etwas laut und der Service nicht ganz überzeugend. Dennoch kein Grund in der Gesamtbewertung auf einen Stern zu verzichten

Ich kann dieses Restaurant wirklich zu 100Prozent empfehlen. Guter Service, sehr leckeres Essen, super Auswahl an Gerichten und Getränken.🥂 Mein Filetsteak war auf den Punkt perfekt. 👌🏽 Das Anrichten der Speisen findet manchmal auch direkt am Tisch statt 👌🏽😋 Macht weiter so....ich komme wieder.

Alles super, lecker essen gemütliche Atmosphäre, tolles Personal, Stylische Einrichtung, Mit angrenzenden Hotel

Leckeres Essen, guter Service. Teilweise stehen die Tische zu nah nebeneinander was es etwas ungemütlich macht und man weniger Privatsphäre hat.

Sehr nettes und kuscheliges Restaurant, sehr freundliche Bedienung. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Mehr schein als sein. Tolles Ambiente aber Service und Speisen können nicht mithalten. Nix los im Laden aber ind. Anfrage zu einem Gericht nur nach hartnäckiger Nachfrage erfüllt. Veganer: geht besser woanders hin. Warum 2 Sterne: Der Espresso war lecker...

Waren heute dort um meinen 19 Geburtstag ausklingen zu lassen; und es war einfach nur Hammer! Der Service war unfassbar nett und zuvorkommend, das Essen war grandios und das Ambiente war wunderschön. Kann es jedem nur empfehlen! 10/10!

Sehr stylisches Ambiente, sehr angenehmes Publikum und guter Service. Das Essen war richtig gut, sehr gute Kombinationen und perfekt gewürzt. Wirklich empfehlenswert.

Hochklassiges Essen zum fairen Preis. Das Dekor ist schön und allgemein herrscht eine angenehme Atmosphäre

Das Essen, der Service und das Ambiente sind dem Preis angemessen. Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt. Das Share-Menü war absolut unseres und von der gebotenen Qualität und Quantität hervorragend.

Wir waren erwartungsvoll dort wegen der vielen guten Bewertungen und da es ständig ausgebucht ist - sind aber enttäuscht. Gut: Online-Reservierung, Ankommen, 2 von 3 Servicekräften, Geschwindigkeit, Trüffel-Pommes, "Ivy-Tacos", Fleisch (auf den Punkt gegrillt , Qualität ok aber definitiv "nicht zum Niederknien"), warmes Brot. Weniger gut: Ich dachte wir starten erstmal mit einem Cocktail (für die das Ivy Werbung macht) - das ist aber wohl eher was für später an der eher kleinen Bar da es nicht in den "reservierten 2-Stunden-Slot" passt. Dann wollte ich eigentlich das Menü - von dem gleich mal abgeraten wird ,da dies viel zu üppig sei (oder passt es nicht auf die recht kleinen Tische ?. (Die Tische stehen verteilt im eher engen Restaurant so, dass sie nicht mehr unter den eigentlich vorgesehenen Lampen stehen, dh man sitzt hell, dunkel oder kollidiert mit den Lampen beim Aufstehen, irgendwie...). Wein 0,2 12 EUR, na ja. Kein Salz/Pfeffer auf dem Tisch (mir fehlte Salz). Essensqualität dann nur mittel: Paella-Balls langweilig, aus dem Flanksteak floss viel Flüssigkeit (was auf einem weissen Teller nicht wirklich schön ist), Sossen zu wenig gewürzt, Babyspinat in Salatsosse ertränkt. 1 Servicekraft nicht mein Fall (Schürze mit Flecken, merkt sich Bestellung auswendig und macht prompt einen Fehler, Garzeit Steaks nicht abgefragt, berührt mich 2x beim Bezahlen (bekannter Trick für Trinkgeld, aber eher was fürs Bierzelt), gehobelte Trüffel fliegen über den ganzen Tisch usw). Musik cool aber etwas zu laut. Fazit: schnell 150 EUR ausgegeben, die woanders besser investiert sind

Wir waren gestern seit langer Zeit mal wieder im Ivy. Ich muss sagen, dass mich das Gesamtkonzept dieses Mal nicht überzeugt hat. Die Preise sind sehr stolz und das setzt natürlich auch die Erwartungen hoch. Das ist ok wenn dann auch der Service, Essen und Getränke stimmen. Die Vorspeisen waren geschmacklich hervorragend. Das Hauptgericht, das Filet allerdings kein Hit und nicht besonders zart. Wenn es dann jedoch als “Hauptdarsteller” auf dem Teller liegt, ist man ein wenig enttäuscht. Die Getränke waren top. Der Service war freundlich, leider jedoch nicht wie ich es mir bei dem Ambiente und Preisen erhoffe. Man musste immer fragen, ob jemand kommen kann, mit wenig Eigeninitiative. Unsere Getränke waren teilweise 30min leer auf dem Tisch.

An alle die gutes Essen und Ambiente lieben. Endlich gibt es so etwas wieder in Karlsruhe. Das Personal sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich, nicht aufdringlich. Essen, mindestens Michelin verdächtig, sehr gute Weinauswahl. Wir kommen wieder. Grüße an alle.

Liebe den vibe. Ilja & Luca sind die Schatzis. Selten so sympathisches und zuvorkommendes Servicepersonal erlebt 🫶🏻

Top, top, top! Dieses Restaurant/ diese Bar ist wirklich nur zu empfehlen!!!!! Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, das Besteck und Geschirr sowie die Gläser sehr hochwertig. Zum Frühstück: wo bekommt man noch warme Chroissants und warme Brötchen zum Frühstück serviert!? Wirklich lecker 🤤. Zum Abendessen: ein Glück dass wir einen Tisch bekommen haben. Sonst hätten wir wirklich etwas verpasst. Die Preisleistung stimmt hier auf jeden Fall! Die Qualität der Produkte sind sehr hochwertig. Die Gerichte sind perfekt abgestimmt. Es wird jede Geschmacksrichtung angeregt. Einfach UMAMI! 🤤 Die Drinks 🍹 an der Bar werden von einem sehr kompetenten Barkeeper frisch gemixt. Das Ivy hat einige eigenkreationen die sehr zu empfehlen sind.☺️ Das komplette Team ist sehr gut aufeinander abgestimmt und verstehen sich auch wortlos. Jeder weis was er zu tun hat. Das Team ist wunderbar ☺️. Danke für dieses schöne Wochenende bei euch. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und empfehlen euch gerne weiter!

Ein wunderbares Erlebnis mit dem besten Essen, freundliches Personal und ein tolles Ambiente. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen!!

Ich war begeistert. Haben beide die Trüffelnudeln gegessen absolut Top. Der Service war auf sehr hohem Niveau. Das Ambiente klassisch stilvoll mit angenehmer Atmosphäre. Der Preis ist meines Erachtens dem Service und Geschmack mehr als angemessen. Immer wieder gerne

Wunderschön Ambiente, tolles Essen und freundliches Personal. Habe das Steak gegessen und die Trüffel Pommes und es war beides super lecker. Immer wieder gerne

Habe ein tollen Abend mit meinem Partner im Ivy Restaurant verbracht. Das Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt und die Bedienung war super freundlich! Das Ambiente wirkt sehr einladen und angenehm, kann ich wirklich nur weiter empfehlen!

Rundum ein sehr gelungenes Konzept. Das Essen wurde frisch zubereitet und war geschmacklich überragend. Der Service war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Werde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen! Klare Empfehlung.

Ein wahres Juwel in der kulinarischen Szene! Dieses Restaurant hat meine Erwartung bei weitem übertroffen. Ich kann es nicht genug empfehlen und freue mich schon auf meinen nächsen Besuch!a

Cet avis reflète celui d'un français un peu exigeant, chauvin et frontalier : ce restaurant m'a bluffé, le niveau de prestation n'a pas à rougir de restaurants gastronomiques français, aimabilité en plus ! Situation générale : A deux pas du centre-ville, si vous êtes en voiture deux parkings couverts à proximité (-3min à pieds). Le quartier est calme, bien fréquenté où se tutoient les boutiques de mobilier haut de gamme. Ambiance : La façade partagée avec l'hôtel 133 est chaleureuse, contemporaine, soignée et offre une vue dégagée sur la salle du restaurant. Vous y accédé par un passage le long à gauche de la vitrine, franchissez la seconde porte à droite et vous accédez au hall de l'hôtel, au bar Ivy et à la réception du restaurant. Chic, sobre et décoré avec goût c'est un avant-goût de ce qui nous attends. En salle la musique est discrète, le mobilier est de bonne qualité et l'éclairage suffisant. Des dessous de verres pourraient être bienvenus dans certains cas pour éviter de mouiller la table. La carte est jolie, lisible, claire et sans chichis. Attention elle n'est pas traduite, pour ce faire, vous pourrez pratiquer l'allemand, l'anglais avec les serveurs à votre écoute. Service : Le personnel est souriant, agréable, disponible et discret. L'équipe est assez jeune et bien formée, une attention est portée aux détails et ils savent être sympathiques sans tomber dans une proximité qui jurerait. Quand il y a un problème, une rectification de commande, un délais un peu long, l'équipe gère la situation avec professionnalisme. Ils sont très forts et méritent que ça soit reconnu. A noter : malgré que nous soyons français non germanophones nous avons été parfaitement reçus ! Cuisine : Aie aie aie... Des années passées à tester différents restaurants allemands pour toujours donner une chance souvent perdue. C'est ici que pour la première fois je trouve une cuisine digne des prix pratiqués. Je dirais même, qu'ils pourraient bien les augmenter, compte tenu de la qualité de leurs confères. Je pense à la cuisine du Schloss Lieser qui proposait un menu dans la gamme de l'étoilé français et qui arrive à la cheville de notre cher Ivy. Si vous vous rendez ici, ne soyez pas rabat-joie avec une question de budget, profitez de l'excellente cuisine ! Félicitation, merci pour cette excellente soirée !

Sehr schönes Etablissement mit einer gut abgestimmten Einrichtung. Service sehr professionell, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Rotwein war auch sehr süffig. Das Essen m.E. kommt vom Niveau an den Rest nicht ran. Es ist trotzdem ok bis gut, aber Luft nach oben besteht. Trotzdem vielen Dank!

Von Anfang bis Ende war mein Besuch in diesem Restaurant einfach wundervoll. Das Ambiente ist schlichtweg atemberaubend. Es ist der perfekte Ort, um einen luxuriösen Abend zu verbringen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Die Location und das Essen sind super, das Restaurant gehört zu meinen Favoriten. Ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch!

Die Location des ivy Restaurants ist total gemütlich und einladend .Am Sitzplatz angekommen fühlt man sich total wohl und geborgen.Das ganze Restaurant ist super sauber gehalten und bietet viel Raum. Das Personal und die Auswahl a super leckeren Gerichten unterstreicht die Punkte und im Großen und Ganzen einfach Top! Ich würde immer wieder gerne hin gehen und kann es nur weiter empfehlen!

Eines der besten Restaurants, bei dem ich seit langem war. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team im Ivy für diesen wunderschönen Abend

Sehr leckere Angelegenheit! Die Präsentation der Gerichte war kunstvoll, und jeder Gang war meisterhaft. Es ist offensichtlich, dass hier in der Küche echte Meister am Werk sind. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen!

Ein wahres Juwel in der kulinarischen Szene! Dieses Restaurant hat meine Erwartung bei weitem übertroffen. Ich kann es nicht genug empfehlen und freue mich schon auf meinen nächsen Besuch!

Ich hatte gestern die Gelegenheit, dieses Restaurant zu besuchen, und ich bin absolut begeistert! Die Erfahrung war von Anfang bis Ende hervorragend. Ivy hat definitiv einen Platz auf meiner Liste der Lieblingsrestaurants gefunden!

Wir waren in einer Freundesgruppe von 4 Leuten zum ersten mal im Ivy Restaurant zu besuch und sind alle sehr zufrieden gewesen, von den Cocktails, dem Essen und vor allem der Bedienung. Gerne wieder.

Ein Geschmackserlebnis bei jedem Gang . So viel liebe zum Detail und geschmacklich ein Gedicht . Vor allem der Service , man bedenke , zwei Azubis im Service , an Freundlichkeit , Fachwissen und Aufmerksamkeit nicht zu überbieten . Selten so einen tollem Abend erlebt .
