The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie in Cambridge

Just spent a lovely hour in The Ivy in Cambridge. Really attentive staff and great atmosphere with an excellent menu to cater for all tastes and budgets . It was a great way to start our shopping trip and we will be back very soon.

Had a wonderful dining experience with family and friends. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff were friendly, and it made for an enjoyable night.

Our first time at this Ivy - we weren't disappointed - the perfect place for our son's 21st. The set menus are great value and the staff brilliant. Loved it. We'll be back.

Great service, food and atmosphere

My daughter took me and her nan for birthday lunch as it was her 88th birthday the staff were absolutely delightful and very interested in our family generations they put a candle in her dessert at which she was delighted, the food was exquisite, we will definitely be back for a special occasion

Opulence! Posh! Visited IVY for breakfast on an autumn morning and it was enthralling. The service and ambience were top notch. The bar looked great and the upholstery is eye-catching. Great place to celebrate a special day. I had the special Breakfast, which was quite a bit for £20 and the overall dining experience. The eggs were perfectly poached, the hash browns were crunchy and the croissant was yumm! It was one of the few places in Cambridge that was open at 0830am on a Sunday morning. Worth the experience.

Great meal friendly staff and good service.

Very expensive for poor quality food, food probably cooked by a 3rd rate agency 'cook', not a chef. Six of us sat for dinner on Friday 8th Nov, scallops poor, medium steak overcooked and watery. Sea bass well over cooked, I cook sea bass a lot, so I do know what I am talking about. Two of us thought we recognised the £48 bottle of wine we had, its £12.99 from Majestic Wine. For £90 a head we would expect better. Next time a good honest pub.

We chose to celebrate our wedding anniversary at The Ivy and are very glad we did! We took advantage of the 2 courses for £20 deal, available on weekdays. The starters were the stars of the show: Salmon rillettes and the chicken skewers, both of which were excellent. For the mains we had duck leg and shepherds pie. The pie is quite small and appeared to contain burger meat, which was a disappointment. You definitely need sides. We had broccoli which was perfectly cooked. The Cote de Rhone wine was a bit harsh tasting and we would expect something easier going for the price. Allergen information is easily available via a qr code and in-restaurant WiFi. Service was great. Our server was polite and had a great sense of humour. He didn't have comprehensive knowledge of the menu but the manager was able to step in and help us with our selection (one of us is dairy intolerant). Meals did take slightly longer than we'd have liked to arrive so bear this in mind if you need to be somewhere afterwards! The ambience is very relaxed, the restaurant was full but wasn't noisy. The facilities are very clean but do involve a lot of stairs to get to. However there is a disabled toilet on the ground floor. Overall, a great experience although slightly overpriced as portions are very small and wine is particularly expensive.

Visited the Ivy for a celebratory lunch with my son. We had to wait for our table to be ready, which was not a problem, and had a drink at the bar, we were then shown to our table. We ordered our food, 2 main courses, an Ivy burger and tuna loin. The waiter returned after we had placed our order to enquire how I would like the tuna cooked, I opted for pink. The food took a very long time to arrive at the table, we were waiting for more that 45 minutes. The food was only just warm, I suspect it was sat on the pass for sometime before being delivered to the table. The tuna which I expected to be pink inside was very well done, but tasty enough. Because it was a celebration I did not want to make any complaint regarding the food and the quite frankly disappointing level of service. I have always enjoyed visiting the Ivy because of the usually high level of service and attention to detail, this was sadly lacking on this occasion.

Food was OK but well over priced .Wife’s food was a bit tasteless. Should have gone for a pub lunch . Think the staff thought they were at a high class restaurant not Cambridge

Friends birthday meal. There were 7 of us booked in for lunch on a Saturday. Seated straight away. Our waiter was very attentive. Our order was taken and food came quite quickly. We mentioned to our waiter it was a birthday meal and absolutely nothing was made of it which was a little disappointing. It was supposed to be a treat but felt very rushed.

Great food, prompt and friendly service, nice buzz

The food was delicious, the attention was great. The only thing that I don't like is that they want to charge you separately for everything. If you order meat, you have to order the side dish separately, chips, etc. So a dinner that was apparently £70 turned into £150 easily.

Quite expensive, 38 pounds for a steak then veg and chips extra ??, quality food but prices are little over the top

My wife and I were given a voucher by our family for a very generous amount to have lunch here to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. Having looked beforehand at the menu, I was happy to eat from the a la carte menu, but we were told our voucher entitled us to have the champagne lunch. There was no price on the menu but our voucher was worth £150. Not a measly sum and a lot more than I would expect to pay for lunch. The crispy duck salad was lovely and well presented. The Peruvian chicken was tangy with heat but the chicken was quite thin. The sticky toffee pudding was nice with a nice dollop of clotted cream on top. Nicely presented. Add 2 glasses of average house white wine, a bottle of water, 2 coffees and the 12.5% gratuity and we still had to add more than £40 to cover the bill. None of the dishes blew me away and I have had better for less elsewhere. Next time I will try the £19.17 two course lunch.

Went there on a first date a few days ago. Lovely atmosphere. Great food and quite luxurious. We had breakfast, which was amazing 😍 fell in love with the bathroom lol

Lovely atmosphere and great service. Have had better food elsewhere for the same/cheaper price

Went today. I had fish and chips which were, dare I say, perfect. I tell you what, the vinegar that it’s served with is superb. It’s the small things like that which really elevate a meal. Service, as always, was first class. You get really nicely looked after. Everyone I was with was really delighted with their food. Well worth a tiny bit extra £ than other restaurants. Definitely recommend

Lovely early pre show dinner and cocktails

We visited Cambridge from Chicago and just happened upon The Ivy. So glad we did. I had the best shepherd's pie and the Chocolate dessert was incredible. Marvin was an incredible server and I would recommend this restaraunt to anyone who visits the city.

If you have never been to an Ivy Brasserie, I highly encourage you to do so. The Cambridge UK location is a definite due to the historic atmosphere surrounding the entire area. The service is what you would expect for a place like the Ivy and the food is absolutely exceptional. Make sure to make a reservation prior to visit because you may not get a table otherwise. Hats off to all the staff for their part in making this establishment shine.

Great experience for my husband's birthday- attentive wait staff, lovely location. Everyone's lunch was delicious- highly recommend the duck curry!

Had a sirloin steak, it was great. The waiters were kind and the atmosphere was unique.

Lovely setting, attentive staff and great food

Excellent service. No worries whatsoever. We are an older couple who love the rich flavours and very tasty food. Alcohol is priced accordingly to being in the centre of Cambridge. (£14 gin and tonic. Cocktails) However a hearty appetite ( my two sons of 40 and 43) would be left hungry. No worries for us on that score.

Great place to eat right in the middle of Cambridge. Food & service was excellent.

Great birthday gift given to me by The Ivy Cambridge!

Beautiful ambience, very upscale and great variety of food / drinks. Perfect for a professional or personal meal.

The food at the Ivy is always beautiful. Never had a bad meal here and always a good selection for most dietary requirements. The service was good to start with but had slipped by the end of our meal. This was OK but not nice to feel slightly forgotten about. The atmosphere was nice but it got very noisey very quickly and wanting a long leisurely lunch was challenging when it was difficult to hear eachother.

Lovely brasserie, good food. After your tummy is full you can lose half the calories walking to the toilet and back 🤣 if you have been here, you know exactly what I am talking about.

I've been to several Ivy Brasserie sites, so expetations were high. We had lovely birthday celebration meal in Cambridge and we were not disappointed. Service was friendly and 'on point'. We never had to wait for attention at any part of our meal. Even though it was midafternoon, when I would expect it to be quiet, there were still several tables in and helped the place have a nice atmosphere. The birthday profiterole for the birthday lady was perfect and a lovely touch. I would happily go back

The worst experience I’ve had in a restaurant for a long time. 1) had to ask 3 times for a wine list. 2) when wine was eventually ordered the main course came before the wine 3) one drink didn’t even arrive. When questioned after 15 minutes where it was the waitress said “it should come” 4) both the steak and the pasta starter had zero seasoning, bland. Dreadful experience, the food was absolutely dreadful apart from the scallop starter.

An amazing atmosphere and great service. The best fish and chips I have ever tasted. Great quick service, food was fresh and tasty. Definitely going back.

On a rainy Saturday lunchtime 7 of us arrived, without a reservation and asked about availability. The reception staff and door manager immediately made us feel very welcome and offered us a table. We were all impressed with the marvellous decor and surroundings. Once we were seated, server, Marvin (excellent by the way) offered us some water with the menus. We soon made our choices from the brunch menu and we were served with the food in about 10 minutes. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Upon discovering that 2 of our party had had birthdays within the past week, Marvin bought us a giant profiterole and candle for each celebrant. Very thoughtful and much appreciated. Along with the beautiful decor the ambience was very pleasant as well. Even the washrooms are Instagramable, especially the ladies apparently... A thoroughly delightful way to open our day exploring Cambridge. Many thanks to all who made the visit so enjoyable

We order a bottle of sparkling water it didn’t get delivered to table until we reminded them. We later order a second bottle again it didn’t get delivered to the table but it did appear on the bill, it was removed when I pointed out the error, maybe I should of asked them to remove the service charge.

I have been to Cambridge Ivy a number of times now and each time the food and service has been impeccable. Today however was even more special as I brought in my sister who is turning 12 this week. I mentioned this when booking and the staff brought out an extra something which made her feel special. A wonderful waiter also gave us some extra time when she asked how to fold the napkins 😅 thank you again, we will undoubtedly be back soon!

We celebrated our frnd's birthday today. The place is classy and the staff made us feel welcome. Special mention to staff Marvin Perez for his excellent service and guest entertaining skills. Our celebration made extra special because of him. Cant wait to bring my husband again. Keep up the good work Mr. Marvin Perez.

We had our lunch here after trying out Ivy in London, interiors were just amazing, beautifully done & I also loved the blazer/ uniform that staff was adorning, they can actually sell that as Ivy merchandise. We were made welcomed right from reception , since we had no prior bookings, it was a spontaneous decision to have lunch here but staff didn’t turn us down upfront despite being bysy (it was like a quick visit to our son at uni & we were kind of settling our emotions, since he started uni just a day before) We had ordered Truffle tagliolini, truffle arancini rice balls ( always love these), zucchini fritti ( least marks for this) and in vegetarian we didn’t have much choice so we ordered Rendang plant based curry with rice ( decent ) In desserts we had ordered celebration chocolate bomb ( one of my favourites in Ivy) , which they beautifully presented and it had very flavour of passion fruit too. Coffee was quite nice. Staff was very cordial, we were been served by Marvin I would recommend Ivy for ambience and service, in food they can introduce some more choice for vegetarian which doesn’t have fake meat.

Excellent food and service. I was full at the end of a 3 course meal. There is a lot of attention to details done. The only downside was the level of noise as it was really busy.

Really disappointing experience and bad service. Extremely inexperienced staff, no follow up from the website even when politely shared our experience. Waste of a nice evening.

The place is nice, the food was ok, you’d expect a bit more from the Ivy, the chips i ordered were oily and not as you’d expect. The buffalo cheese was fair nothing to blow your mind. All in all it was an ok experience

Always a great place to dine for survival occasions. Food and service is excellent.

I went to celebrate a friend's 60th birthday I loved my choices of dishes,plenty of food,however it was over priced for what I had but an enjoyable experience and lovely comfortable place to dine.so a special treat for a great person .

Amazing food, best steak I have ever eaten, staff and service was lovely despite it being a busy Saturday night, very attentive. All in all a great experience and will definitely be back.

Our brunch at The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the elegant and exquisite décor, as it was a perfect blend of modern chic and classic charm. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a relaxing brunch. The food was absolutely divine! Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and presented with such care. From the fresh, perfectly cooked eggs to the decadent pastries, every bite was a delight. The menu offered a wonderful variety, and the attention to detail in every dish was truly impressive. The ambience was equally exceptionally calm, refined, and full of understated luxury. Whether it was the natural light pouring in or the stylish touches throughout, the setting enhanced the entire experience. The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie is a place where impeccable taste meets impeccable service. I can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to enjoy a beautiful meal in a stunning setting. We left feeling pampered, satisfied, and already planning our next visit!

Quality of the food has gone down massively. The choice of Birthday cake is really poor & they don't let you bring your own! Many places do...

Amazing service and good. The staff was very attentive and the atmosphere was great.

Our 1st visit to an "ivy" Quite impressive, just like the price's 🤯🤣

Great venue with truly amazing food! This was a work outing and for that such a perfect venue!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Ivy Brasserie in Cambridge, and my experience was made truly exceptional by our waiter, Marvin. From the moment we were seated, Marvin's warm welcome and genuine enthusiasm set the tone for a wonderful evening. Marvin's knowledge of the menu was impressive; he effortlessly guided us through the various dishes, offering insightful recommendations and catering to our dietary needs. He was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring our glasses were always full and anticipating our every need. Marvin is passionate for his work and to providing exceptional service were evident throughout our meal. He is a true asset to The Ivy Brasserie, and I wholeheartedly recommend it here.

I came from Brazil with great expectations to discover good restaurants in Cambridge. However, at The Ivy we received poor service at the beginning. We ordered the Steak tartare with toast, and they didn't bring any plates or cutlery. The food took more than 40 minutes, and it even came with raw chicken (truffle Chicken Milanese). They changed the chicken, but the other one was burnt and was still raw. The manager (very attentive) gave us a good discount, but the experience of poor service will be remembered.

I’ve only visited once and that was for an Alice & Wonderland themed Afternoon Tea on a Saturday afternoon in November. It was brilliant! I loved that our coats were taken on arrival. I was shocked at how noisy the restaurant was! Tables are fairly close together. Our afternoon tea was absolutely lovely, although I’d have liked additional savoury options, it was mainly sweets. A really beautiful venue, I’ve included photos. The service wasn’t the best, the waiter kept trying to take our afternoon tea stand away, when we were still eating. He moved our cupcakes, without asking! Great price, £30ish each. I couldn’t finish mine, so was given a box to take the remainder home. Which stayed fresh for the following day. All in all, a beautiful but busy restaurant. I’ll be returning at some point.

An exquisite place. The food was exceptional, the interior decor is a dream, and if you want the perfect selfie make sure to check their glorious bathroom 😉

Very nice ambience. We had set meal with a bottle of Montepulciano : the Calamari starters was delicious. The linguine and the Shepherds pie was so so. The Expresso crème brûlée is great. The reception staff and the service by waiter Marvin was excellent. I observe other staff dropping bits of food as it was being delivered, etc. Obviously I cannot compare service in The Ivy with fine dining restaurants. The venue could benefit from better service led by an experienced maitre d who can lead and organised a more responsive service by the staff. After all they add a higher service charge than other restaurants.

The Ivy is a truly exceptional establishment. From the flavourful food to the Alice In Wonderland-esque corridor to the toilets, The Ivy is an excellent location for any special event and will not leave dinners disappointed!

Booked for 4 adults and highchair for my grand daughter. Wanted a treat for my sons 30th birthday...and we weren't disappointed!! The restaurant it's self is aesthetically pleasing ...with lovely decor. The service was fabulous from start to finish...friendly and efficient staff. The food was delicious - freshly prepared to perfection. A fabulous choice to celebrate something special.

This restaurant truly merits a five-star rating. Our server provided exceptional service and demonstrated a high level of professionalism. I believe that staff members from other Ivy branches, particularly those in London, could benefit from emulating his exemplary conduct. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will undoubtedly return. We express our gratitude for making our day enjoyable. The quality of the food and beverages was also commendable.

WOW!!! Came here on the morning of my 50th Birthday and was amazed at the cost and quality (did not need a re-mortgage!!) Food was excellent - hot plates which is always a bonus. Service very top class and formal, felt very very top notch Deffo recommend Would also come her, will go to an Ivy for other meals now, well impressed!!! They also then gave me a breakfast plate which was nice (albeit chocolate after breakfast!!)

1. We arrived early for our 1830 reservation and the other couple were due shortly after us. We were informed that the table was available but, if we went and sat at the table to await the other couple, the 2 hour table clock would be activated such that sitting at 18:13 would mean the table must be vacated by 20:13. We had no idea there even was a table click and the resetting of the clock was irrational as the table could not be otherwise used in the 15 minutes. They would not budge. Unpleasant! 2. Upon all sitting at 18:30 we were ‘hurried’ repeatedly by three staff both for initial ordering and then their clearing of the table while some were not finished. Disruptive, unprofessional and rude! 3. There were issues with some dishes that were pointed out to staff without an apology or mitigation. Example being the duck curry that was full of gristle and same shown to waitress. Poor and unacceptable! 4. Drinks orders were accepted only to find out they could not be fulfilled. Example a pint of Diet Coke was replaced with the smallest glass bottle one could imagine. Unprofessional and wrong!

Went for breakfast today,excellent food as always but left feeling cheated somewhat.The waiter asked if we'd like some water for the table,no mention of price/cost etc or any different water options still/sparkling/tap etc,then when the bill came we find we've been charged £5.50 for a bottle of water.Now as we'd had some of the water we have to pay fair enough but in my opinion this is an underhand shady business practice and will certainly put us off from returning.

An unfortunate experience… having hosted a fantastic Hen dinner at the Brighton venue, we had high hopes for another small Hen party in Cambridge but were left feeling underwhelmed and disappointed. Four of us visited for dinner/ cocktails which was pre- booked. The restaurant was busy, but we were seated directly outside the restrooms, which meant we couldn’t hear one another speak and felt somewhat rushed, it was like having dinner in the airport. The Bride ordered a steak to be cooked medium-well, which when it arrived was not only without its accompanying sides/ sauce, but was so rare that I’m surprised it wasn’t still moo-ing. By the time its replacement (thankfully looking a little less raw) had arrived, the other hens had almost finished their now-cool meals. The steak was very fatty, and the Bride eventually gave up trying to eat it. The waiter kindly removed the steak from the bill, which was appreciated, but the whole experience was just so disappointing to have her sitting there waiting and made to feel awkward and uncomfortable. On a positive note- the allergen menu was, whilst limited, informative and the staff were able to advise on and safely cater for allergies.

Lovely food and a great service. Wine mist was good and we ordered a tasty rose

My husband and I visited on our vacation to Cambridge and had a wonderful time! The shepherds pie was fantastic and is a must-get item! The service was spot on and we felt taken care of without being rushed. We would definitely return!

Great food, service, and ambience. Thank you The Ivy.

Food is amazing! Staff are super lovely and attentive. Thank you

The service was amazing and the food nice however we had been to Browns the day before and the menu was extremely similar so I was slightly annoyed

Amazing experience. Everything was perfect! English breakfast, location and staff. Manu, the indian boy Who served us was very kind and professional. If you are in Cambridge you must visit this restaurant !

Birthday lunch no reservations but took care of us brilliantly Delicious food and great service

Great experience in the Ivy Cambridge.Fantastic service and great food .Loved the decor too . Staff so welcoming and helpful

Had a wonderful lunch, great food, and a buzzing atmosphere which was really nice but didn't help our server, we asked for a bottle of wine and 2 glasses but she only bought 2 glasses, when asked where the bottle was we were then supplied a fresh bottle but found when the bill came also charged for said bottle. As it was an Anniversary treat, my wife had always wanted to come to The Ivy, I wasn't about to cause a fuss when it came to payment, and there is my next issue, the service charge for a table of 2, what is this culture about, over £20 service charge for 2 people is just disgusting, it's not for me to pay your staff wages that's the Employers responsibility, I come for an enjoyable meal which I didn't want to spoil by arguing over the bill at the end. Don't get me wrong the food and experience really was lovely but I do feel there was just over £40 added to my bill, half because our server didn't listen (not really my problem) and the rest was service charge, I know lots of you reading this will say I should have challenged the bill but this was a special day out spoiling my wife on our Anniversary, there is a time and place. She felt special and thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the trifle was something else.

Excellent restaurant and service

Informed waiter that I had had food allergies was told by 3 different waiters/manager different things regarding my food. In the end was told that I wasn’t able to eat it because of my allergies. I am appalled by the service and lack of awareness or knowledge !!!!! Expected better service and a piece of mind !!!! Spoiled my lunch

It was absolutely lovely. The place looked stunning and the food was devine. The staff was very busy (probably because it was graduation day) and we had to wait a long time for the receipt and our bottle of wine. The toilet is a work of art though, it was a ceiling made of roses.

I had to cancel a reservation for the following morning due to an injury to our senior family member. The manager - Davide was very courteous and quickly cancelled without having to pay a cancellation fee.

Pleasantly surprised at how good this was all round. My hesitation was more to do with service, in particular relating to catering for coeliac. As tge booking was made by another member of our party we popped in earlier to make sure they could indeed cater for this. The Front of House team were incredibly helpful. Overall food and friendly service was excellent. The servers also were observant when my daughter hadn't requested the GF dessert (which she is normally very on top off) and they brought the correct dessert anyway. Would certainly visit other venues on the basis of this visit.

Lovely welcoming staff. Food delicious, burger slightly dry and dessert expensive

A bit expensive when you add the automate 10% for the service, but a very nice Indo-British atmosphere, good and fast service and tasty food: fish and chips, burgers were appreciated by our group!

Loved it! Food was delicious, good customer service. Very lively place with its unique decor. Not the cheapest place but competitive within area it is.

We visited on 10 August, having booked two months in advance. I was the first to arrive and the receptionist was very insistent that my companion should not be too far behind me, as they were “very busy”. Service was good and friendly; the food was good. We only had a main course and a cup of tea to follow. However, no sooner had we eaten the main course than we were provided with the bill along with the tea. We were then moved from our table to the bar, as they wanted the table back - less than an hour after we had sat down! It felt like being on a conveyor belt. I had travelled all the way from Kent for this! I felt very hurried, which really spoilt an otherwise good experience.

The food here is great but tends to be a little pricey. Service is good.

The Ivy is consistently good. Always plenty of room to sit, good service and atmosphere. Wish they would change their main menu more often. The trifle was pretty and delicious, a proper trifle.

I’ve been before, overpriced, slow but a lovely atmosphere. I wanted to take my daughter for her 18th. She’s on a very restrictive diet beyond usual “Top14” allergens but simple adjustments would have made it possible. I emailed three times- one response “it will be fine, tell chef on the day”. Er no, we’ve yet to find anywhere with the necessary dairy, wheat, gluten, egg, soya, tomato & garlic free options without prior notice. No response to my reply asking if I could speak to someone, called the restaurant who promised the chef would call me. He/she didn’t. So we didn’t go! Meanwhile Pizza Express made a fantastic pizza she could eat and looked after us very well. Impressive for an Italian restaurant given her restrictions! Edited to add the head chef contacted me, and we arranged to visit today. Despite a phone conversation with the head chef and a bespoke menu agreed beforehand, on arrival the the waiter had no knowledge of this. Two trips to the kitchen later a basic meal of fish and roast potatoes was agreed, but the potatoes were not cooked. The other three meals were very poor indeed, no goats cheese on the salad and a stringy, cold plant burger. Chicken salad was mostly mayo. £129 for an incredibly poor meal, slow service and zero communication.

Super nice and classy restaurant. We had a great time, were served nicely and the food was delicious. Gladly again

Really nice food at reasonable price. The decoration and service very good. The food is very tasty and good quality.

Our waiter was so present that we felt very disturbed by him constantly asking if we and the food were okay. It felt very intrusive. Our wine glasses were refilled before we were ready, as if staff are told to keep topping up glasses to encourage us to buy a second bottle. I wasn’t asked if I’d like my glass refilled, it just got refilled which is rude, especially when the house wine is £32 for a very ordinary Pinot Grigio blush. The over attentiveness ruined an otherwise okay experience. We were all in agreement about this so we won’t be coming back. We much preferred Bill’s.

Very nice restaurant, extremely friendly staff but very large and commercial. We received the next course within 5 minutes of our starter and were outside again after an hour. So not suitable for a quiet meal. There is also a 12% (!) tip in the final price.

Excellant place to eat fantatic service good quality nice decor

What an experience! The security was very talkative when we were by the entrance, the salmon starter was perfect, the fishcake for the main was incredibly succulent and the mashed potato was very soft. A stunning venue. Would happily return.

Great experience, tasty original food and excellent service and ambience. Not as pricey as it may seem, definitely recommended for a proper treat

Great, attentive, charismatic waiter and doorman. Beautiful interior. Food served quickly and was delicious.

Beautifull restaurant in an ideal location for tourists. Friendly and professional staff. Unfortunately, that is where the quality ends. It was a busy day at the peak of tourist season and we came in as walk-ins which they accommodated graciously and seated us. Service and refills for water were a little bit on the slow side and inconsistent with others seated after us. We ordered the Crispy chicken bang bang salad with cucumber, peanuts, sesame and chilli as an appetizer. The chicken was dehydrated to the point of being jerkey. The rest of the salad was delicious though. The main we ordered as part of the two course was the Chargrilled, thinly-beaten, grass-fed rump steak, with a fried free-range hen’s egg and thick cut chips. The chips were delicious but the steak was overcooked, tough, and absolutely the most bland tasteless piece of meat I've had in a very long time. I couldn't eat it and mentioned this to our server. He kindly removed the steak from our final bill. Overall, we were impressed with the location and building but were not impressed with the food quality.

Another great Ivy experience. This time afternoon tea. Just as impressive as the lunches and dinners we’ve had previously.

Delicious fish & chips, burges, steaks... lovely athmosphere, thanks to nice & kind Anastasia✨

great service, tasty food, unique atmosphere.

The food is too pricey for its quality and I was constantly interruted while eating by waiters. They are in a rush for you to order and desperate to take your plate while you are finishing. They should allow customers to enjoy the experience.

Stunning interior, great service, and delicious food. This was my first time at The Ivy and I would definitely visit again. Ordered a variety of appetisers, mains, and desserts to share. A stand out for me was the shepherd’s pie. It was soft, tasty, and straightforward. Such a charming place in Cambridge. Also, the bathrooms are gorgeous! 🤣

Disappointed. The servers were pushy, we hadn't even the time to read the menu. We've been asked 4 times if we were ready to order. After that it looked like a sales pitch show, one more drink, one more dessert etc. We spent 300 pounds without the need of being pushed. The restaurant environment it's ok but I couldn't enjoy my night out due to the pushy and not great service.

A really pleasant experience. The staff were lovely and there were plenty of them working, very attentive and friendly. The food was amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Will certainly return.
