The Ivy Inn Restaurant and Bar is the perfect place for a date night or celebratory dinner with your partner.

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. For those that are more adventurous, there are tasting options on the menu which present you with a sampling of three distinctly different wines.

Our first time back to our favorite restaurant since Chef Greg took over, and he did not disappoint. The menu is a very nice balance of some Matisse favorites with some new, wonderful creations. The staff are first rate. We will be back.
