Compliment to the chef, the service manager and staff at Ivy Lane! This is my first visit to the cafe. The service manager was courteous and professional, we didn't wait for more than 1 minute to get a table. The waitress was friendly and helpful when we tried to make up our minds for our orders.

Now we have to spend Motherโs Day at home as he wonโt dine anywhere else. Best of all, owner got one of his staff to call us and inform us that the boss pulled the pin on the booking. My sister tried to plead with them, to no avail. Youโre a class act mate thatโs...
