    Sunday brunch is a must! Try the lobster Benedict - so delicious. Also highly recommend the pancakes and the Monte Cristo sandwich.

    Excellence wait staff, excellence ambience, beautiful fireplace going. The wait for food was a little longer than anticipated but the quality and taste of food made up for that. Overall fabulous dinner for all nine of us. Live music was not over powering either. Thank you for the lovely evening….we will be back before end of year for another casual Friday dining.

    The Ivy sits beside the St Lawrence River in a picturesque area called The Thousand Islands. Our time there was a beautiful fall day, sun shining, water sparkling & trees showing their fall colours. The Ivy Restaurant is a beautiful building with lots of windows to enjoy the water view. The brunch menu selection was perfect in its variety and the food we enjoyed was excellent. We will make this an annual experience for our family!
