Beautiful setting, amazing food and wonderful staff! We go back here often to enjoy the water views of the 1000 Islands from the restaurant. The Staff here are so friendly and make us feel very welcomed. Everything on the restaurant's menu is excellent, our favorites are the short rib and the sticky toffee pudding. Very highly recommend!

It's nice to see 5 stars for food and service without all the glamour! It's a great venue sitting on the water front. We tried the fish and chips salad and the lobster roll. Both memorable and would have it again.

We have been here over a dozen times since 2 years. Location, marina, food, coffee are amazing! The staff at the restaurant are extremely pretentious and unprofessional. The only person that isn't rude and pleasant is Mariah. She should be training the rest of the "kids" on proper etiquette and screen the employees they hire.

I am very thankful for the wonderful gift of the Ivy Lea Club. The Ivy Lea Club is a marina that is on the beautiful Thousand Islands. There is a fine dining restaurant where you can go for both lunch and dinner, and sit on the porch or deck and watch the waves gently roll by as you eat. While dinner is usually delicious, the best part is dessert. And the desert that we go for on far to regular a basis for my waistline is the amazing ice cream! Tucked away in a building behind the main restaurant is the Coach House. It is there that you will experience one of the greatest ice cream eating experiences of your life. The ice cream comes from a local producer called Carp Custom Creamery. It is the most scrumptious frozen treat you can imagine. They usually have some favourites such as chocolate, vanilla and sorbets, but it’s the unique flavours that keep me coming back over and over again. Imagine sticky toffee pudding ice cream, or dulce de leche, or the greatest of the great, loaded butter tart ice cream with huge chunks of butter tart wrapped in a creamy vanilla base. Not only is the ice cream phenomenal, but they don’t use regular cones, they hand make warm waffle cones right there, and then the final element that brings everything over the top, is that at the bottom of each waffle cone, is a marshmallow to catch all the delectable melting ice cream. The ice cream is the reason for going, but it is the time spent with your loved ones at such a beautiful place with striking vistas all around you that make it memorable. The staff are extremely sweet, and our daughter was treated so kindly, that they always made sure to give her a few extra marshmallows, and more importantly, warm smiles. If you ever have to travel along the 401 between Canada Day and Labour Day, it is well worth your while to get onto the Thousand Islands Parkway and make a stop at the Ivy Lea Club.
