Today's visit I booked via the app OpenTable, and I have wanted to check here out for a while and have heard a few good things so it was time to see for myself.
Opentable has many many places on their app for in and around Glasgow, but here grabbed me so I placed my booking.
On entering the inside looked really nice, and I was welcomed and shown to my table.
I felt where I was seated the tables were slightly too close together, but that's a personal thing.
Looking around again the decor was nice and it had a nice atmosphere.
Today was a Sunday afternoon and there were still a few tables free, so I knew service, etc should be good and I couldn't wait to try their food.

The Food
I opened the menu and wow they had a big selection, so there will be something for everyone's taste.
I spotted many items I would have tried so I had to narrow that down and this is what I finally opted for.
On arrival, this looked very nice, and I couldn't wait to try it with the toasted brioche as that sounded like an amazing combo.
I tried it on its own and it had a great flavor and texture to it, the hazelnuts added a nice wee crunch, and the compote mixed with the parfait was so good.
Now with the brioche, this took it to another level.
The brioche with this mmmm I LOVED every bite!
I can't fault this in any way it was so so good! and highly recommend it.

THE IVY TRUFFLE HAMBURGER £17.50 Chargrilled in a brioche bun with truffle mayonnaise, horseradish ketchup, and thick-cut chips. Add Camembert - 2.95
On arrival, this was a BIG dish and a BIG burger.
I loved how you could add any extras on your burger yourself as some people don't like things and then have to take them off.
I also did add the extra camembert to my burger for the little extra cost.
I started with the chips and these were perfectly cooked, had great flavour, and were perfectly salted...mega tasty!
Now on to the burger, so the only thing I left off the burger was the lettuce as I felt it could add a layer where things could slide out so I played safe today.
I took a big bite and wow I really needed to open wide!
Firstly let's start with the burger, this was a thick burger, packed with a nice flavour and also moist which was great as I hate a dry burger.
Bite overall this was mega tasty and right up there for me with a few of the best spots for burgers!
I was mega full after this and it's another dish I highly recommend.

Angelic Amaretti Sour £6.95 Lyre's alcohol-free Amaretti shaken with foaming solution, lemon juice, and a touch of sugar
I fancied a wee mocktail and ordered this, I was asked if I would like it with my main dish and I said yes.
When my main dish arrived I was asked again if I wanted this and again I said yes.
When it did finally arrive 24mins later and after my main meal it was worth the wait.
This had a nice blend of sour and sweet and was very thirst-quenching.
