On 3/21/18 I organized a wedding shower at the Ivy for colleagues of mine who are doctors who are getting married, and it was truly the best venue and best service I could have wished for. I wasn't sure about the number of guests because at the last minute some people cancelled and some more people wanted to attend, but I knew I wanted to be seated out on the patio around the fire pit and with the flexibility to add more tables and chairs as needed, and I also did not want to be penalized/lose money if less people showed up. 15 people showed up instead of 22, and truly the management at The Ivy was awesome. Just as they promised me, they catered to OUR needs and not the other way around, unlike some of the other restaurants I had tried calling first where I would have had to pay the same amount of money for the reservation no matter how many people showed up. We paid for what we ordered. The patio seating area around the fire pit was beautifully lit and organized, the photos came out great, the Mediterranean food was delicious, the service was awesome and the ambience was so relaxed yet festive. The wedding shower was a huge hit! Thank you to the management and staff at the Ivy!

The drinks and food were both dicious. The Ivy is offering specials which we took advantage of such as family dinner special for four. It gives you several different proteins along with rice, salad, hummus, pita and other dipping sauce which may have been au-jus. Many drinks on tap, wines, and a good menu of cocktails that are both classics and staff inventions. Nice outdoor area yo keep covid exposure down. :)

Great restaurant/lounge. Has a bit of a weird vibe during the day with the off track betting and horse/dog races on alot of the TV's. But then no TV's outside or near the low top tables. The smoked whiskey I had was great. It was super flavorful, and I would get it again. Just not with dinner as it greatly overpowered my lamb. My wife's mule was sweet but not overly so. My toddler LOVED the kids board. Sliced cheese, meat, and fruit is just about the best toddler meal I have ever seen in any restaurant. I'm sure she didn't appreciate the fact it was better than just cheddar and bologna, but we sure did. They turn the lights down real low at night, creating quite the sultry atmosphere. If I was here with my wife on a date this would have been perfect. I'm sure the more loungy couch type seating is in high demand during the night hours. Prices were on the high side, but again not overly so and the quantity/quality does justify it. The happy hour specials seemed to offset this a great deal also.Last note, this is one of the few places I have found with a good saginaki. Fire, lemon, and cheese. You can't go wrong ordering this here.

So disappointed with the Ivy. We have been loyal customers for a few years now. Loved their happy hours and their selection of appetizers. Always good service and the waiters knew us. During COVID continued to order from here. We ventured Friday night to eat out finally and decided on The Ivy. We sat outside near the bar. Unfortunately the experience left lots to desire. First off, waiters and waitresses were pretending to wear masks but had them hanging on their chins all the time. Second, after getting the drinks and ordering food the waiters were nowhere to be found. More than 40 min later and no food so I decided to ask at the bar for our food and the said there was still another party in front of us... which by the way we saw ordering food long after us. So I told the guy to cancel my order since we had to go in 15 min. He went to the back so I assumed they cancel the order and was waiting for him to get the check. About 10 min later they showed up with our food ! And the waiter insisted with an awful attitude that this is what we order and he told us the food was coming. I had to insist I wasn't paying for the food since I asked to cancel and I had to go. So apparently not only they forgot our order but later ignored us and then tried to put it on us. Not even an apology or attempt to fix it. Sad to see places like this just crumble due to service. I understand restaurants are struggling in this environment but customer orientation and the decency of at least checking on us and letting us status is the minimum required. Nothing to do with pandemic just awful customer service. Management needs to look again at who they are hiring. Good luck.

***WARNING*** This place is NOT a Mediterranean restaurant. The only thing that was Mediterranean was the hummus. And that is the only reason I am giving this place 2 stars because the jalapeño hummus was decent. Other than that the food at this place is disgusting. I am actually angry because we came here for my wife's birthday. Even my son who has eaten Mediterranean/middle eastern food all over the USA said this isn't Mediterranean food. This place is pub food and not very good. DO NOT come here!

Amazing atmosphere and even better food.

Dope little spot for dinner!Came here with a large party with a few out of town friends and had a great time! The food is super fresh and the service is excellent. I was happy with the flatbread sandwich that I ordered and the salad my friend got looked amazing. They have a nice selection of drinks and a menu that has a little something for everyone. My only complaint is that the parking in this complex can be really bad. Otherwise, great spot for dinner or drinks. Enjoy!

Cozy, contemporary and delicious food as well as off track betting and a swanky bar.

Food is decent. My recent visit was not as good as others but still pretty good. We had the hummus and chicken Satay Skewers, which was delicious!

We stop there for happy hour from time to time. Hit and miss. When it's good it's FABULOUS. When we get the wrong person yikes. Like the shrimp and eggplant.

Just had my first visit here with a somewhat larger group. Our server was quick to greet us, requesting drink preferences, and attentive the remainder of our visit. Our server was also very knowledgeable about the menu, providing recommendations and answering questions. Our food came out within a reasonable amount of time, and our orders were all correct. The Ivy fries were very delicious and the entree and salad portion sizes were very filling, allowing leftovers to take home! My only complaint is that the restroom could have been a bit cleaner, but overall I would visit this establishment again!

The service was good but the food was ordinary. I recommend if you like bland food.

Although they claimed the rockfish was fresh.. it smelled to high heaven.. any chef would know it was clearly well beyond its prime... my pear salad was very good.. no good choices for wine. The waiter was sweating so badly it was running down his face.. really awful!
