It was an amazing place, great variety of food, the owner was really hospitable aswell as the staff. As it was my birthday I asked if my maltipoo could come and they even allowed that to happen. They were friendly, kind and considerate, a great restaurant overall.

Great place for a birthday meal. Food was good but given the portion size actually represented good value. Service was standout. Great front of house and waiters.

We attended the wine and cheese tasting night and it was fantastic. The manager was so knowledgeable about the wine and they had some really unique wines that we had not heard of before. We will definitely be going back to this lovely wine bar.

We dined at Rustiq on a Thursday evening when there was live jazz. The service was excellent; the staff were very attentive and professional. The food was delicious and served at a good pace. The live jazz was delightful and not 'heavy' jazz, but they have a wonderful female vocalist who sings Ella Fitzgerald tunes and similar. Going to Rustiq is a fabulous experience; having superb food with live music is a real treat, and Leamington Spa is very lucky to have such a great restaurant.

Wow, what a night! Everything exceeded our expectations. The service was second to none, with every member of staff going above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic evening. The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were beautifully presented, and the surprise entertainment was the perfect finishing touch. It’s rare to find a restaurant that gets every aspect of the experience just right, but this place certainly does. Without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had, and I can’t wait to come back!

Having eaten at several other Ivy restaurants, including the original one & the Ivy Asia Oriental, St Paul's, our expectations were high and we were not disappointed at all. The interior is warm and inviting, beautiful art deco theme to create a great ambience. Food and service excellent, as expected. We were not rushed at all, a decent pause between each course. Highly recommend.
