    Visited NYE for meal and celebrations. Have to say, The Ivy is one of the best restaurants that I have visited for a long time. Live in Stevenage and travelled to eat at The Ivy. Stayed overnight in a local hotel. I'm really pleased I booked, never been before but will revisit in the future Definitely recommend this restaurant. It is very large inside (goes back and back) looks smaller from outside. Didn't initially intend to go to Cambridge but could not get a booking locally in a restaurant for the time I wanted. Best decision I made. Fully recommend.

    Excellent and well coordinated New Years Eve party. Well done to the total staff who were very attentive and efficient even with a fully crowded restaurant.

    Amazing food and service. One lady a bit sharp and needs to have a bit of training on high class service but everyone else amazing. Menu was huge , we had the festive menu which was very good. Wine expensive but great. Would go again and again Had drink at bar after. The staff let it down nut we were still happy- take a long time to be noticed and served then we had to wave them down to pay the bill, too interested in putting cling film over the taps and counting stock ( all 4 of them ).
