    Whatever you order from the menu is delicious. The daily specials are very good. I usually order the fish dishes. My favorite is the Capri salad with salmon is very. For a change, I ordered today the grilled corvina that comes with arugula salad which was excellent.. My favorites desserts are the limoncello and cappuccino tartufo. The staff is very friendly and courteous.

    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!
