    Food quality compared to price was not to expectation. Total bill came to just over $300 for brunch, and the food was just “okay”. Wouldn’t likely come back.

    Always have a fantastic experience at The Ivy, however the fixed menu was a surprise as I received a call the day or two before explaining the pricing and what it entailed for the day. One app/ one entree. Desert was not included. A bit surprised with that, but couldn’t change at that late a time. We were a bit disappointed that all entree options were of “ brunch” or egg options. I don’t eat eggs. My husband ate part of my entree. I did enjoy my salad. We will certainly always return to The Ivy, we do love it, just not my best visit this time.

    My husband and I came here to celebrate out first anniversary. We initially booked for 9:15pm but the restaurant called us to change it since they stated that their kitchen closed at 9pm (although a table came of 4 got sat around 9pm). The atmosphere, decor and live jazz music were absolutely incredible. Although the food was delicious, we felt that the lamb was a bit overpriced for what we recieved. The service was ok but we found our waiter a bit rude near the end and like we were being an inconvenience by dining there. He also never brought up our anniversary or any desert menu so that was a bit unfortunate. Overall, it's a great place.

    Everything went so well until I paid the bill and left a $10 tip and the server asked if I meant to leave that amount, and said 10% would be a certain amount and I should have left that!! I was perplexed, why is the server telling me how much tip to leave

    We came for an early Mother’s Day dinner. Staff is friendly. Small jazz group was playing which was nice. Our server Jesse was wonderful. He gave us some great tips and suggestions. Meals were amazing and large portions. Seafood was very fresh and prepared perfectly. They have a fantastic wine selection. Definitely our new favorite restaurant.

    The food was excellent , except the coffee. It was lukewarm and our waitress insisted that she had just made a fresh pot. Our waitress made us very uncomfortable. She was extremely defensive in her service and acted very erratic in her behaviour. I had a reservation and she started to look it up and then said she didn't want to do that right now and called another waitress over to look. The other waitress found the reservation right away and took us to our table. Our waitress took our appetizer away before we were finished and then became very defensive when we mentioned it to her. We like the food but do not want to come to a restaurant where the service is so poor.

    Considering that the restaurant was not extremely busy when I was there for lunch, I found the restaurant a little noisy. I do realize that the two people seated close to our table were talking loudly making it impossible, at times, to have a conversation with my friend,

    Haloomi deep fried until tough & inedible; my friend’s chicken parmigiana was also tough & overcooked (she had it replaced with a Caesar Salad which was good); warning that the couscous under the grilled salmon is refrigerated cold (should be stated on the menu). Very loud atmosphere, but the restaurant is gorgeous inside. Wait staff really good & attentive. The only miss is the food - which is why you dine out! Sad experience but maybe might try again this summer to see if it was simply a bad day in the kitchen (?).
