For ultimate date night vibes complete with aesthetic interiors, delicious food and top service, we are never disappointed with an evening at The Ivy.
With 8:30pm reservations at The Ivy Asia located in Guildford, we popped next door first for an aperitif at The Ivy Castle View.
I had envisioned a picturesque sundown drink on their terrace overlooking the castle, but the rainy English weather had other plans, so instead we sat at their brilliant feature bar where the bartender made our cocktails in front of us.
My look for the evening was built around my new Stradivarius white flared jeans paired with this gorgeous denim corset from White Fox Boutique.
I’ve been loving the French twist up-do I’ve been seeing all over my Instagram explore page, so I had a go at recreating the style myself.
Thankfully my hair was cooperating and I was obsessed with the final result which felt so elegant and classy.
To complete the elevated date night fit, I wore my By Alona pearl necklace, statement round gold earrings, my Abbott Lyon gold bangle, Sandro green velvet handbag and my favourite vintage oversized green Jaegar blazer.
The touches of green in my fit were the perfect little nod to the green accents at The Ivy.
Pre-dinner cocktails of choice were a Strawberry Mojito for my boyfriend.
And a Tommy’s Margarita for me with that perfectly sweet but spicy hit I’m looking for in my Marg.
Sitting at the central bar amongst fellow dinners as the busy Saturday night service unfolds, makes for a fun atmosphere to kick off date night right.
Soon it was time to hop back next door for our dinner booking at The Ivy Asia.
The vibe here is made for evenings out as the place comes into its own by night.
With a live DJ and the amazing green lighted floor, it always brings a fun and buzzing atmosphere for those Saturday night vibes.
We were seated at the bar whilst our table was being relaid, so we started by ordering some drinks.
A glass white in hand and ready for an Asian feast, we were taken to our booth table.
I requested the booth seating as it feels more plush and is often that bit more comfortable.
We even had the beautiful blossom tree overhead, perfect for those Instagram shots.
To start we had the edamame beans served with a spicy sauce for added flavour and a fiery kick.
For mains we ordered lots of the smaller plates to share between us and it turned out to be quite the spread.
Of course I had to have a plate of sushi so I opted for the salmon avocado roll and it was divine.
My boyfriend had his favourite glazed chicken karaage dish as well as the satay chicken skewers.
The cucumber peanut salad side dish is another must whenever we visit.
We also had the steamed rice, chilli noodles and wok fried greens for the table.
As ever the food was beautifully presented and tasted delightful, we were certainly very full and satisfied following our mini feast.
With its brilliant service, outstanding food and opulent interiors, complete with a buzzing atmosphere that makes you feel more like you’re in a trendy Manhattan hotspot, The Ivy is always a good idea for date night ❤
