    Experience was excellent-0one thing to mention the Japanese Wagyu was cooked to almost well done in one part-while I asked for it to be medium rare. They offered to redo it-it was two pieces, only one piece was well done. Other than that-it was lovely.

    We had an amazing experience at Ivy by the Lake! We stopped by on Valentine’s Day after a concert and were warmly greeted and seated right away. To start, we ordered the hummus with lamb, which was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For hookah, we went with the waitress’s recommendation, Poison Ivy, and it did not disappoint! Smooth, well-balanced, and truly elite. The DJ was phenomenal, playing a mix of music that kept the entire place vibing. I found myself dancing in my seat all night! The atmosphere, service, and overall experience were top-tier. I’ll definitely be back for more great food, hookah, and vibes!

    My husband and I went here for Valentines dinner and it was delicious! My seafood grits had flavored, fresh seafood packed in every bite and his steak was cooked medium to perfection. My daiquiri drink was refreshing. Ohhhh and the caramel cake, yum! All recommended by our attentive waiter, Eyo. Thanks for the chill vibes and food! We will be back!
