Took forever to get wine, had to get up to get an extra bowl as we couldn’t find a server, check came without a pen. I know, little things but overall it just set the tone.

I haven’t been to the IVY at either location in many years, but the ambience was more romantic than I remember and the food was great and frankly it seemed like the prices had been reduced, though it’s still pretty expensive. My wife had guacamole and chips as an appetizer, excellent, and the chopped grilled veggies salad, which we have been replicating at home for years also excellent. I had the corn chowder, delicious and lobster tagliatelle. The food was all great. We had a bottle of Pellegrino and two coffees and it was a little over 200 bucks with the tip. our reservation was for 6 PM and it was fairly empty when we got there and the food rolled out fast. Great service.

The Ivy at the Shore was the loveliest experience! My daughter and I split a meal of corn chowder, guacamole and fried chicken and left with full bellies and beaming smiles. The service was impeccable and the tastes were divine! We also split a passion fruit mocktail of some sort that was fantastic!!
