    The service was awful. A fat-blond waitress almost through the plates and the food to our table. That was just after I asked for plates and she said that they didn't have any ... haha - yes, a rest...

      It was my partners birthday stayed in olinda for the night. Booked tea at the Ivy had pizza and aussie beer for $15 each. It was the best meal we have had ,in a very long time. Service was great would recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy night, in olinda just had a very relaxing time.

      The service was awful. A fat-blond waitress almost through the plates and the food to our table. That was just after I asked for plates and she said that they didn't have any ... haha - yes, a restaurant with no plates. And that wasn't all, we had to wait almost 1 hour for being served. Until now, one of the worst places I have had lunch. The perfect low level places that you dont want to come back. The building was nice, just the building ha, ha. The food was horrible.

      Had booked for 9 people and they squashed us on 2 tables when asked if we can the empty table next us they said it was reserved and had a bad attuttide, eventhouggh there were plenty of empty tables after speaking to waiter again we finally got the other table we essential asked for. The pizza plates was so large that you couldnt possibly fit the amount of people and space provided.The food was great but very disappointing customer service.

      After reading a review on this restaurant I thought I would still try as the menu looked delightful. We turned up bout 2pm on Saturday, were seated quickly. 20 mins it took to get to order a drink, 30 mins later to attract attention to order (a shared entree cheese board) and 2 x mains. An hour later the cheese board appeared on our table (after prompting) and I would say about 20 after prompting again, after cheese was finished, our mains turned up....Wait i forget the soft drink ordered that never came and we asked for twice. At 4.30pm we left as we were not game enough to order coffee and desserts.......if the service had been sharp and snappy I would happily have returned, but the food quality lost it's lustre with the unrealistic waits we had on a not that busy restaurant.........But i wont even think about returning...........It was also entertaining to watch a few new comers walk in, sit down, order and walk out after 1hours wait for their food that never appeared!!!! Shame on management for letting this lack of service occur

      I really don’t know this restaurant survives with all the bad reviews. We went there for lunch on Anzac day, what a mistake We waited ½ hour for our drinks to arrive. only to be told had ran out of the merlot we ordered and substituted it with a white. After waiting 1 ½ hours and still no mains to be seen ( Pizza) . I asked several times how far away they were only to be ignored. In the end I walked up to the open pizza kitchen and asked the chefs how far away were our pizzas ? Their reply was we are making them now!!! We walked out in disbelief. Not Happy !!!
