We were placed in the side room off of the main dining room and we moved twice because of how cold it was. I realize they are closed for the season and this is a special day to be open but go to the building early to get the temperature amped up. The fireplace was not tended to unless you brought it to the attention of the waitress. Food was very good and good value but the room temperature was a downer.

Spectacular New Year’s Day Brunch! It was our second year attending and won’t be our last. Everything was delicious on a menu that included soup and salads, savoury egg dishes, pancakes, bacon, sausages, homefries and chicken and waffles. Special shoutout to the chef for the homemade pastries - cinnamon rolls, donuts and pain au chocolat. Outstanding! We had a quiet table by the roaring fire and the service was friendly and attentive. Thank you The Ivy! Everything was amazing!

The chefs went above and beyond during our brunch experience. The lobster eggs bennie was outstanding and we were given extra home fries(amazing) and then some sweet pastries were dropped on our table at the end of that delicious meal. 👏. I’ll be back for sure! Thank you!
