I recently attended a surprise 40th birthday party at this hidden gem in Shawlands, and let me tell you, the only thing smoother than their drinks was the birthday boy trying to act surprised! 🤣🍸From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with a vibe so cozy it's like being wrapped in a warm hug from your tipsy aunt at a family gathering. The decor is a perfect blend of classy and quirky, just like that one uncle who always ends up dancing on tables after a few too many shots. 💃🕺The staff at the Ivory Hotel are the real party unicorns - they're like ninjas in aprons, always there when you need them but disappearing mysteriously when you're ready to pay the bill! 🦄💸 And let me tell you, their ability to keep up with a room full of tipsy 40-year-olds is nothing short of impressive. I've seen Olympic sprinters move slower than these servers carrying trays of drinks! 🏃‍♂️🍻As for the surprise itself, well, let's just say that the look on the birthday boy's face was priceless - it was like he'd just seen Bigfoot riding a unicorn through a rainbow! 🌈🦄🎉 And the party atmosphere? Electric enough to power a small city, with laughter, music, and questionable dance moves filling the air like confetti. 🎶💃

Had lunch at the Ivory today with my daughter and we both ordered nachos and fish and chips. Their nachos are always great and not to be missed. Normally we choose fish in batter, but today we took the waiter’s advice and tried the fish in breadcrumbs. OMG it was absolutely delicious , fresh and beautifully cooked , large portions and the chips were to die for - think they were double cooked. All served with hot mushy peas and decorated with a skewered pickled onion . I wish I had taken a photo.Considering I read in today’s paper that Edinburgh’s Tom Kerridge was charging £110.80 for the same fish and chips for two, we had a lunch fit for a king for £36.80 for two courses with soft drinks for the two of us. A mention to the pleasant and attentive waiter who looked after us and the chef who supplied such a mouth watering feast.

Pretty ghastly experience, 2 mains and 2 starters had to go back. Food had gone off (mash and custard), rancid smell from 2 different plates, and 2 different choices of main and dessert. Waitress agreed and the chef took both items off menu. I suggested maybe cream/butter could be off, told custard was out of a carton even though it is billed as "home-made custard"! And mash was made the day before and kept in fridge !!!!Both meals were deducted from bill but it completely ruined a birthday lunch. Place seems to have gone right downhill, needs a makeover, and more care with food

Went here for a late lunch...My husband had the goat's cheese fritter which he said was really lovely. I had the pate which was also very good. We both had fish and chips which was good but the fish could have been a wee bit bigger. Good service and a nice atmosphere. I also noticed that they have comedy, folk and jazz nights which could be good...

The Ivory very kindly donated a voucher for a two course meal for two to my sons nursery Christmas fair. We won it and having never been before were looking forward to a meal out! We had such a lovely evening from start to finish. …
