    The table was small to accommodate the plates, would have preferred more savory items as top heavy on the sweet items. High surcharge

    The Ivy brasseries are always set up well. Service is generally consistently good, tables laid out beautifully and bathrooms always clean and tidy. The food though consistently lets the Ivy brasserie down whichever one attended and if it wasn’t for the comfortable experience, it would be a series of restaurants I wouldn’t return to. Vegans and vegetarians are poorly catered and food is always lacking. My perception is that the chain is a group of restaurants that relies heavily on ambience to compensate for very average to sometimes poor food. Cambridge Ivy brassiere is no exception to my experiences of this chain so far.

    I recently visited The Ivy and had a bit of a mixed experience. The food was good—well-prepared, flavorful, and presented beautifully, which is exactly what you’d hope for at a place with their reputation. However, the service left something to be desired. It felt a bit inattentive and disorganized, which took away from the overall experience. For the price point and setting, I expected more attentiveness and a smoother dining experience. If you’re going for the food, it’s worth it, but be prepared to potentially wait or feel a little overlooked. Hopefully, it was just an off day for them.
    The Ivy Cambridge BrasserieResponded on 30 January 2025
    Dear Izgin, Thank you for the review. While we were happy to hear you enjoyed the food, it was disheartening to hear that you feel the service could have been better. We have taken your feedback onboard. We hope to welcome you back soon. Kind regards, The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie

    Can’t believe no takeaway box available in this restaurant. The serve just gave us a piece of foil to pack our pastry.
