Came with a group on a Friday night. Such a cute restaurant, with a very laid back vibe. The drinks were outstanding, as well as the service. We ordered the calamari that came with this PHENOMENAL green sauce. Or table had the ribs, Chilean sea bass, the seafood spaghetti and (do not ask why), but we also had the enchiladas. All plates were super good! Definitely would come back for a special occasion or to just invite visiting fam/friends.

I wanted to visit here again as it's so different to the Ivy in London. I love the Spanish decor and all the flowers. Try to get a seat outside if you can.For a fancier restaurant, this place still amamges to have a bit if charm and character and it's beautiful to sit in. The menu is so extensive its almost overwhelming, but everything we got was good. I had a lovely lunch here.Vegetarian options: The menu is so large there are plenty options for everyone
I recently dined at this restaurant and enjoyed their lobster pasta immensely. However, the dining experience was overshadowed by an inappropriate and unsettling encounter with our waiter. After the meal, the waiter approached me—rather than the person who paid—to comment on the tip amount, stating it was below the customary 20%. More disturbingly, his remarks took on a racial tone, suggesting differences in tipping practices 'in other countries' compared to the U.S. This inappropriate comment, coupled with the awkward confrontation about the tip, left me feeling unwelcome and uneasy. Such behavior is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the establishment's commitment to customer service. It has seriously made me question whether I would return

Antoinette was so sweet and pleasant. She kept on checking in. Food was delicious. The corn chowder was amazing and I wanted to eat 3 or 4 bowls but I ordered the fried chicken. I love the vibe here. I like the eclectic decor and the fresh roses. They have 3 or 4 seating areas and they all looked or felt so fun and “light”.

Crab Cakes, Crab Salad, and Chilean Sea Bass were phenomenal. Really friendly staff as our servers Alfredo and Jesse took great care of us. Lovely setting and atmosphere. Highly recommend. ? ✌?

As a long-time LA resident I had avoided this place and was expecting to hate it, but going for a celebration lunch on a weekday was unexpectedly a lot of fun. It was sort of in the same way that going to Las Vegas can be fun.Yes - it's massively overpriced, so be ready to throw around a lot of $Yes - the people watching is next level. You may see a celeb or two (although probably only the ones who *want* to be seen) but you will also see a wild assortment of LA ladies-who-lunch, wannabes, tourists, and people dressed wildly inappropriately for a weekday lunch.Yes - it's both pretentious and humble and the same time, with a on over-the-top French countryside vibe, fresh flowers, and overcrowded.Yes - it's a bit of a tourist trap, but it's also sort of an LA institution.Fish and chips is massive and so are the salads, and we ordered one of each and had them split it.There's valet parking or a $20 parking structure across the street.My advice: yes, go once, but go on a weekday and make sure someone else it's paying!Vegetarian options: Tons of salad options that can be without meat.

BEVERLY HILLS STAPLE- one of our favorite spots for a special night out. This restaurant is beautiful and the staff cares about every detail. Our dinner was delicious. We ordered margaritas, the squash blossom, the scallops, the crab claws, the mussels, mashed potatoes, and grilled veggies. Probably could have ordered the half size of the mussels. Antonio was our waiter- he was fantastic. Can’t go wrong hereParking: Recommend ride share or use the valletKid-friendliness: Kids were scattered throughout the restaurant, totally an ok place to take kids

From the crisp freshness of the salads to the rich complexity of the entrees, each bite was a revelation of taste and texture. The attention to detail extended to the garnishes, with handpicked flowers adding a touch of elegance to both drinks and dishes.Despite my short stay in Los Angeles, I made it a point to visit The Ivy multiple times, drawn back by the irresistible allure of its cuisine. Even amidst a busy sightseeing schedule, the thought of indulging in The Ivy’s culinary delights was impossible to resist.In conclusion, The Ivy stands as a shining beacon of culinary excellence in Los Angeles.
