    A really lovely couple of hours having afternoon tea for a friends birthday. The dry ice is a lovely touch & makes the experience stand out. The food is very tasty & we all agreed the amount was perfect.

    Went for dinner this week and from the start it was exceptional. The decor was wonderful , staff all very friendly especially our server and the food superb. The blackened cod was the standout as well as the freshly baked apple tart. We will be back again for sure.

    An excellent meal and service was attentive but not intrusive. Nice time to visit - the lull after lunch and before dinner. Thank you

    The food was great but the service was extremely slow - even though it was quite quiet, which is a shame.

    Waited a long time for drinks upon arriving. Waited Waitress appeared to be in a hurry for our food order despite drinks not arriving and when they did they came separately.

    Food was lovely, the fish and chips was much larger than at other Ivys. Restaurant was nicely busy but there were empty tables so I’m not sure why we felt rushed through our meal by the waiter. It did affect occasion for us hence the 4* review as I’ve never felt like that before. All the other staff were lovely.

    Lovely premises but over recent years it has become excessive in its pricing especially their wine list. Whilst we remain generally happy with what is on offer it is somewhat restricted and lacking in value for their charges! They are now also excessive in the extreme to make such an excessive ‘service charge’! I prefer to offer cash relevant to our individual service and at my choice! We are not happy with the current excessive service charge! To be charged for individual vegetable additions due to not automatically being inclusive in the main courses is also excessive and similarly high
    The Ivy Cambridge BrasserieResponded on 16 April 2025
    Hi Geoffrey, Thank you so much for your five-star review – we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! Just to clarify, the service charge is discretionary, and we're always happy to remove it upon request. I can assure you that 100% of it goes to our team. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Kind Regards, The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie.
