Everything was great! The desserts were a perfect 10 out of 10. The customer service was impeccable. Hookah was PERFECT! Will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I checked out this place for the first time after seeing that they host a 90s r&b brunch on Sundays. The inside aesthetic was a vibe and the DJ was playing a good mix of 90s and early 2000s music. They had a guy selling cigars on the patio and they also offer hookah.Food: The brunch menu is a different menu from their regular menu with a handful of brunch items (not much was Greek food which was a little disappointing) including bottomless mimosas. They offer three brunch pricing options and we opted for the $59 per person 3 course + bottomless mimosas. We received a bread and spreads board, one appetizer each and one entree each for this price plus a mimosa bar where they bring a carafe of champagne to your table and you make your own mimosa (or Bloody Mary) at their drink bar. They had a good choice of syrups, juices and fixins for a Bloody Mary or mimosa. We both ended up ordering the chicken and waffles which was a fried chicken breast on top of two waffles with butter and super diabetically sweet syrup on top of the waffles. I will say the meal was good, however the fried chicken (while fresh and hot) was a bit bland and needed the super sweet syrup or maybe hot sauce to add flavor.Service: service was alright in my opinion. The place was pretty empty and our server was very nice, however it was odd to me seeing our server as well as the other servers smoking hookah and chilling in the booths and tables like they were just hanging out. I do get that there wasn’t many patrons/customers so they didn’t have much to do, but I guess I would just rather not see it while I’m dining. At times our server took quite a bit to come back to check on us or take our other orders and it was mostly due to her talking and hanging out. The DJ and other guy (not sure if he was the promoter or staff) with him was extremely friendly and offered us drinks on him which was. A kind sentiment (we never got those drinks though lol).Overall, I think this place was really nice and I believe that they will improve once they have been doing the Sunday brunch a little longer. I’m pretty sure they just started doing the Sunday brunch and not many people know about it yet. I would come back and try out their dinner since I really wanted to try more Greek food

The brunch is amazing, the mimosas were incredible, I definitely recommend the French toast, the ice cream gives it a spectacular touch, when you come here ask for Nia and Tori, they were very attentive and made sure my food and drinks arrived on time, They also have hookah on the patio with an incredible view of the lake, I will definitely return to Ivy, I need to try more dishes from their new brunch menu.

Overpriced for the experience. It was new and exciting but 300$ for 8 shots and fries? That's a bit ridiculous smh. We were a party of four, and they spent over 200$ a piece for the waitress to barely check in on us.

Thank you so much for this very good experience. I came here to dine with a friend of mine to conversate and socialize. We were greeted promptly, seated quickly, and digital menues were easily accessible with analog backups provided as well. The food and service was excellent. Unfortunately, due to NO error on the establishment, I fell suddenly ill due to personal health reasons. This is where the establishment really shined. The staff at this facility were immediately called to attention. There was genuine concern and care given to me on a level I've never experienced before. I thank everyone who works there from the bottom of my heart. You all handled the situation with the best service I could have ever imagined. I had a great time and I felt bad that I may have tarnished the image of a genuinely well-run establishment.Parking: Easy to park, easy to walk to.

A vibey lounge with great food and decent hookah (they are clean!). Service leaves something to be desired but a great place to chill on weekday and weekend evenings.

Phenomenal Experience! Advised them in advance it was for my Anniversary and they took care of us! Food was great and so was the hookah experience! Would definitely recommend!
My birthday dinner at Ivy by the Lake was amazing, thanks a lot to Chef Mahir. The place itself looks fantastic and the people working there are really nice, making everything about the visit top-notch.The best part of the night was the entrée made by Chef Mahir. It was so good, I've never had anything like it before. It’s one of those meals you remember for a long time because it’s just that delicious.Chef Mahir’s menu and the whole vibe at Ivy by the Lake work together perfectly. Chef Mahir even came out to wish me a happy birthday after the wait staff told him about it.In short, my birthday meal there was incredible. Chef Mahir knows how to make amazing food, and the place has a great atmosphere and service. It’s definitely a great spot to have a memorable meal. In fact, given my birthday dinner, Sunday brunch is bound to offer perfect excuse for another round. Enjoy your next visit, whether it's for brunch or another meal sooner. Ivy by the Lake won me over.

The vibe and ambience was amazing. But it looks like the restaurant is overwhelmed. The service is super slow and I guess they are a new-ish establishment? We didn't get our food all at the same time. When we asked why is this the case, the server mentioned “they want to provide the meal as soon as they are out from the grill so it's hot.” My friend was given the hanger steak (which she ordered). Within 2 mins it was taken away from her because she was given two portions of the steak, and not one. When it was time for desserts, we were provided with big serving spoons and no forks. When we asked for smaller spoons the server told us they were getting washed and they were out of spoons and forks. Lol. I think with time the place's service will improve. But for now I wouldn't give it a high rating.

Did have a hard time finding the place. But when I did, it was really nice inside and liked the way the restaurant looked inside. I also loved the fact that they had a heated patio. The service was great and employees and manager were really nice and made sure we enjoyed our time. The food was really good and I definitely will be going back again.
