    The environment is 🔥🔥we normally go for happy hour and dinner and based on this brunch was just okay. The bottomless mimosas are 🔥 for sure!! I don’t think I will go back for brunch but will for sure come for our normal time HH and dinner! Still love Ivy and still recommend it!

    We weren’t wowed by the experience or the food. The place is visually unique, but other than that it doesn’t entice another visit or recommendation.

    I brought my family here for Father’s Day brunch. The first impression was quite good. The atmosphere and decor are all really cool and we were sat almost immediately because we reserved for right as they opened. However from that point it kind of went downhill. The food was decent enough, but not worth the price point in my opinion. The service and wait time for the food was where it really went off the rails. We ordered appetizers and a couple bread platters for starting, and then each of us got an entree and I got a side item to share. My side and bread plate came out first, and then half the entrees. We had to ask twice for the second bread plate, and several more times for the other half of the entrees. By the time the second half of the entrees came to the table, many of us were finished eating. I don’t think I’ll be going back. I was not impressed, and really frustrated by how terribly the courses were timed. Terrible service, mediocre food, and too expensive for what it is. Do not recommend.

    It was our first time visiting the establishment. We were celebrating my sister's birthday and our server made her feel so special. The bartender was attentive to her needs. The food was amazing and the ambience spectacular. We truly enjoyed ourselves.

    Ivy by the Lake is one of my favorite places to eat at. The food is always amazing but I’ve come a few times where service was not professional. Either forgetful or taking too long to bring each plate separately. Sometimes waitress is no where to be found
