    The Ivy was chosen for breakfast as it opens earlier than other contenders. The food was delicious as always and the staff more than helpful.

    Overall a very poor experience. Table wasn't ready, we were initially asked to wait outside then able to take a seat at the bar. Slow taking drinks orders as had to ask staff twice. Biggest gripe of all was my family ordered the afternoon tea and it came out 30-35 mins after my main from the fathers day menu. Ridiculous. Whole point is to eat together. The waiter then said my dessert would come out at the same time as the afternoon tea, it didn't appear for another 10 mins after that. Really disappointed. Wouldn't recommend.

    Thank you for taking to time to leave a review. We are sorry that there was an initial wait for your table and if your enjoyed was tarnished in any way. We sincerely hope you choose to dine with us in the future so you can have a better impression of our service. Kind regards, The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie

    My first time did not disappoint. The food was amazing! Thank you. Having a steak usually means it will never be cooked to your liking. And usually overdone. Not here. It was perfect! I cannot fault the food or the service!

    Food I felt was overpriced for the amount served. Also the kids burgers were burnt so they refused to eat them, which was a real shame as it made our Fathers Day celebration a battle over eating their dinner. Also the kids colouring (part of the reason I booked here is it sounded child friendly) was really poor, already coloured in sheets so we had to keep asking for more. Other restaurants I feel are more child friendly. Our servers were very polite, and the Fathers Day gift was a lovely touch.
    The Ivy Cambridge BrasserieResponded 4 days ago
    Dear Charlotte, Thank you for joining us for fathers day. We are sorry if there were any challenges with the cooking temperature of the burgers. We are always happy to replace any item if not up to standard. Your feedback on the kids colouring packs have been noted. Kind regards, The Ivy Cambridge Brasserie

    Good fun as always. For some reason we were seated at a table at the front of the restaurant where were at 90 degrees to each other and next to people who were just drinking water and being loud. A request to move was accommodated. So our waiting staff was excellent. Thank you.

    Everything was lovely, by only observation is that the turnover is very quick, we had only just finished our starter and the main course arrived less than 2 minutes later. The food was lovely and the service very good. A slightly slower pace would have made it even more enjoyable.
    The Ivy Cambridge BrasserieResponded 6 days ago
    Dear Deirdre, Thank you so much for your kind words — we're delighted to hear you enjoyed the food and service! We really appreciate your feedback about the pacing of the meal. We’re sorry if things felt a bit rushed between courses. We'll definitely take this on board and speak with the team to ensure a more balanced pace moving forward.
