About Ivy at the Shore

The Ivy at the Shore offers a wonderful dining experience with good food, excellent service, and a beautiful view. Located near Santa Monica pier on Ocean, it features a charming dining area with large windows and roses on each table. The menu includes dishes like crab cakes, swordfish tacos, and grilled veggie salad, along with elaborate cocktails. Customers have praised the fabulous food and outstanding service, noting the food is truly awesome. The ambiance is relaxed and chill, making it a great place to enjoy a special occasion or a casual lunch. The patio provides a perfect setting to watch people and enjoy the nice weather. Visitors have enjoyed dishes like softshell crabs, steak, and branzino, along with outstanding mashed potatoes and Patz and Hall Pinot Noir. Although drinks can be expensive, with a double shot of vodka costing around $41, the overall experience remains highly recommended. The restaurant’s friendly staff and unhurried atmosphere make it a unique and enjoyable spot for both locals and visitors. As one guest mentioned, it is one of the great iconic restaurants in Santa Monica, founded by the same awesome founders of The Ivy on Robertson, making it a spectacular choice for dining. The service and food were praised as outstanding, though some found the corkage charge of $40 per bottle overpriced. Parking costs can be high, with $35 without validation and $20.06 with validation, but public parking nearby is available for $10. The location is especially convenient for those staying in Santa Monica, offering a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere perfect for both casual lunches and special occasions.

Was greeted with warmth and so much kindness. Excellent service and a wonderful shabby chic decor. The food was delicious, well seasoned and the wait staff was top notch. Highly recommend!
I had such a fabulous lunch yesterday at Ivy on the Shore. I reside in West Hollywood and have been to that Ivy many times, but this was my first visit to the Santa Monica location, and I don't know what took so long. Carlos and as such a personable and attentive server and really enhanced the experience. The cold seafood tower was delicious and the sangria the best (and prettiest) I think I've ever had.
Love the Ivy
