    Every time I go here we have the best experience. Bring my family, my friends, tell my neighbors. We have been going here forever, and never disappoints. Do yourself a favor and try it, you will love it.

    We had our Thanksgiving dinner there - and it was wonderful. Lobster w/handmade tagliatelle in the Ivy's red sauce. I will remember this for a long time....!

    Had a wonderful experience for Thanksgiving dinner. Food was delicious and the service was fabulous. It had been awhile since we had dined there so it was good to have such an enjoyable experience.

    We have dined at the Ivy by the Shore for many years. This time, the food was under whelming to say the least based on our past experiences. The eggs were cold, the pancakes were so underwhelming that we were embarrassed because we brought first timers into the restaurant. We will think twice about returning.

    Quite noisy--the restaurant could use some carpeting(?) or wall coverings to reduce the noise level.

    My wife and I went for Sunday brunch. Lovely setting on the porch, sun coming in, & fresh flowers on every table. She had the Ivy classic fried chicken and loved it. Very tender and delicious spices on the skin. The waiter recommended the crab cake eggs Benedict and it was excellent. Not cheap but a lovely and delicious brunch.
