Ivy on the Square Reviews
Have always loved this restaurant. Yesterday my husband picked up a dinner for us.
The shrimp and Mac and cheese were very good as usual.
However. The vegetables were soggy frozen vegetables. How disappointing!!!!
Couldn’t eat it!!! Wouldn’t give it to my dog!
How easy it is to steam FRESH vegetables. This is supposed to be a great dining experience.
STAY away unless crinkled cut carrots and water limp cauliflower and unrecognizable...read full review
The chicken picata was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent! I enjoyed a very healthy meal! Thank you! :)
Was seated and given water, then never saw a waiter for 20 minutes. Place was half empty. Men's toilet was disgusting, trash everywhere and sink was full of water with stuff floating in it. Ended up walking out after waiter never returned, so not sure if food is any good.

Ivy on the Square is a popular dining destination that offers a delightful dining experience. The restaurant's food is consistently praised, with incredible highlights like the bacon-wrapped dates, creole shrimp and grits, and the baked crispy chicken. Guests also enjoy the buttery, flaky croissants, and the "best salmon I’ve ever tasted, hands down" from the Salmon Salad. The Mahi BLT is also a great choice. The ambiance is very lovely and enjoyable, making it a favorite for both casual meals and special occasions. The private room with a sliding barn door adds to the charming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and accommodating, with excellent service even when busy, as seen during a large group dinner where the head waiter, Evan, and his helpers provided outstanding service. The food quality remains high, especially the salmon and butterfly shrimp, which are prepared properly and impress guests. While there was an incident with a terrible filet two weeks ago, overall, the restaurant maintains good consistency, and many guests appreciate the good food and friendly service. Ivy on the Square is a reliable choice for those seeking a memorable and enjoyable dining experience in Marion County.
