During nice weather, sit out on the patio that is surrounded by greenery for privacy and dine on broiled Canadian salmon or the blackened Louisiana catfish served with a spicy tomato salsa. While the mood is intimate, children are welcome at the Ivy Inn and menu items for them include penne pasta with butter, three mini sliders or a pizzette.The Ivy Inn offers a global selection of both red and white wines.

Amazing experience as always and that short rib eggs benedict in the morning is the best way to recharge after a long week.

Service was good. Food is consistently good. Salads were a tiny bit bigger this visit and we appreciated that very much. From the special truffle menu, the cacio e pepe was outstanding, creamy and terrific. My only complaint: every time we go, there is no warm water in the ladies room, the water is so cold it actually hurts to wash my hands. I thought we were trying to encourage people to wash their hands. There is an electric eye so the water shuts off automatically, so certainly it can’t be a conservation issue. Why?
