- BBretWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews4.0Dined on 5 Feb 2025We had a party of six and we dined on a Tuesday night so it was definitely a low-key night where the restaurant was mainly empty so that reflects the ambience rating and the noise level rating… The appetizers were quite good. The entrées were questionable and the hamburger was very bad… The dessert in the service were excellent. Try the Dubai chocolate and the hostess was gracious enough to give my son a complementary birthday cake.More infoIVY by the LakePrice: Moderate• Middle Eastern• Sterling•4.2
