- JJoshRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •3 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 6, 2025We enjoyed our dinner. The fried cauliflower and Lebanese stir-fried lamb were DELICIOUS. The lamb dish was also a hearty portion. The crab cakes and the hummus were a bit disappointing. We'd go back for the lamb and the cauliflower. Overall, it's a unique and tasty spot.More infoIVY by the LakePrice: Moderate• Middle Eastern• Sterling•4.3

We were greeted at our table from the manager and other leadership team members. We enjoyed the Tomahawk special with a side of lobster mashed potatoes. It had lots of lobster throughout and not just on top. I highly recommend this restaurant.More infoEddie Merlot's Prime Aged Beef & Seafood - AshburnPrice: Very Expensive• Steak• Ashburn•4.7
