    We've eaten at the restaurant on a number of occasions over the years. This time we were quite disappointed. We had to sit and wait in a separate room before being taken to our table. Everyone was just sat there all looking at each other! The food was good but overpriced. We've decided next time we're in Keswick/Braithwaite we won't be dining at Ivy House.
