    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!!

    The Ivy at the Shore is a true gem in Santa Monica, offering an unforgettable dining experience. The ambiance is vibrant and welcoming, with colorful decor and ocean views that set the perfect tone for a leisurely meal. The standout dish for me was the Stone Crab. Perfectly chilled and served with a tangy mustard sauce, the crab was incredibly fresh and flavorful, highlighting the restaurant’s dedication to quality seafood. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every detail was just right. The Ivy at the Shore is a must-visit for anyone seeking exceptional cuisine and a delightful atmosphere.
