    We brought family from Greece here. They loved it, the food, the music, the atmosphere. The staff were really friendly and professional. The food we chose was lovely. It was quite pricey as we didn’t order the set menu.

    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.
