Tomato and Basil Salad with Sherry Vinegar Dressing was very fresh and was a perfect starter for me.
Then I had Whiskey Barrel Wood Smoked Salmon for the second appetizer. The salmon comes with the lid and the server opens it in front of you. The amount of seasoning is just right and salmon was very fresh and high quality. It comes with grain bread and a lemon.
The entree scorched dry-aged steak was medium-well-done by the chef’s recommendation. Unlike the regular beef, this one had a somewhat uniform taste but rich flavor of aged beef.
The dessert mini chocolate truffles came with 6 small pieces and were very sweet.
Generally not bad. Certain dishes such as the crispy duck salad of the seasonal menu were excellent. However, the decor, service, and menu all seem a bit… fake. It has a slight disneylandish vibe. The “Pasta with black truffles”, served in a wheel of cheese, does not actually appear to be made with fresh truffles or much of the cheese. Rather, the little brown speckles in the pasta are pieces of mushroom, not even listed as part of the dish. The service isn’t bad. Also stay away from the tartar.
The Ivy is a wonderful restaurant for a business meal. Beautifully decorated and great hostesses.
The food is reasonable. Burger was above average and the warm crispy duck salad was interesting. The cheesecake dessert looked spectacular and tasted above average.
Waiter service could improve quite a bit. Service staff seemed like they were still in training and didn’t mesh with the professional/well decorated restaurant environment.
Ivy Brasserie in Cambridge is truly a gem. The food, service, and ambiance were absolutely fabulous. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for a memorable dining experience.
I have nothing but good words. We came here as a nice treat, the food was so delicious and to be honest not unreasonably priced considering. It was lovely to have sushi for starters if we wanted and something completely different for mains.
The cocktails were also really well made and the service was outstanding. Always being checked up on, staff tidying etc in the background and it all felt very calm.
I'd love to come again.
Worth booking though, they get very busy.
The ivy is a movie experience. The place has an amazing design and so bright colours. The service is top, great etiquette of the staff, tasty food and great atmosphere. I am totally recommending this place in Cambridge.
The Ivy was the perfect choice for Saturday lunch on a rainy day. I suspect it would be excellent any day under any conditions. It's classy but welcoming. The food was incredible, the service was professional and fun. Even the washrooms are beautiful!
Very nice atmosphere, great service. Maybe a couple of extra main dishes to choose from would have been nice. I had the thin steak cooked med/rare it was perfect. Chips very nice. Wine is very expensive but a special occasion so exception made.
Once in a while we treat ourselves to breakfast here. Always very good. Beautiful interior. You may pay £5-10 more on average breakfast but its worth it so treat yourselves!
excellent service and delicious food. Many choices for adults and kids and all are served beautifully. Service is professional and attentive but not overwhelming… Can’t ask for more. Thanks Ivy.
