We had an amazing experience at Ivy by the Lake! We stopped by on Valentine’s Day after a concert and were warmly greeted and seated right away. To start, we ordered the hummus with lamb, which was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For hookah, we went with the waitress’s recommendation, Poison Ivy, and it did not disappoint! Smooth, well-balanced, and truly elite. The DJ was phenomenal, playing a mix of music that kept the entire place vibing. I found myself dancing in my seat all night! The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were top-tier. I’ll definitely be back for more great food, hookah, and vibes!

The food was delicious. The restaurant was crowded, but to be fair, it was Valentine’s Day. Still, the service was a bit hit or miss. I often got the feeling that we got overlooked in the hustle and bustle. A very beautiful venue, but I would advise dressing warmly if you visit in a cold season. It is set up for a warmer scene.

We had a party of six and we dined on a Tuesday night so it was definitely a low-key night where the restaurant was mainly empty so that reflects the ambience rating and the noise level rating… The appetizers were quite good. The entrées were questionable and the hamburger was very bad… The dessert in the service were excellent. Try the Dubai chocolate and the hostess was gracious enough to give my son a complementary birthday cake.

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.
