As always, Ivy offers a great menu, great good on a consistent basis.. Dining area and bar area seemed noisier than usual..it was noticeable. But, overall, a wonderful dining experience.

Service was a little slow, it took a while for the server to make stops by our table. Food was good, just lacked a little flavor. The worse part was I was about halfway into my dinner when i noticed a black hair in my pasta. For the price you pay for these dinners, I would expect more. It was already late in our dinner and didn't want to complain, just wanted to finish and leave. On the positive side, the dessert was very good and overall ambiance was very nice.

We came here to celebrate my husband's (big) birthday. Ivy couldn't have been more accommodating and lovely. Although they were very busy and service wasn't quick, we didn't mind at all because we were enjoying our time there so much. The food was delicious, as usual. One of our steaks was way overdone, but these things happen sometimes, and they rectified it quickly. This has been our favorite restaurant for special occasions for many years, and we will keep coming back.

Food and service was excellent. Mark took great care of us. I asked for a quieter table.... And they were able to put us in the small cozy special event room... which was perfect.

The staff was so kind about adjusting the reservation when there was a mixup over a train schedule. Our waitress was so sweet. The food was phenomenal. I ordered the butternut squash ravioli with a side of asparagus and highly recommend that combination. The restaurant was quiet, as I would expect later on a Monday, and the vibe was wonderful.

Ivy is a great restaurant with great food choices. Ivy is an old church and the stained glass windows and pipe organs are something to see. Our waitress was wonderful as she was able to get us out in time for a concert at the MAC/COD.

The food is just ok, it does not live up to the prices. We went on a Saturday night - service was very slow, we arrived for our reservation at 6:30 and did not leave until 2 hours later. The bus boys and waiters were loud communicating with each other in the service area, it was a bit chaotic. The atmosphere is very interesting there though with the church setting.

The ribs were not very good - below the bbq sauce there was no seasoning.

The food was not good. Wife had filet and shrimp. Felt poor quality. Steak was tough, salty and lacking. I had the mahi special which was overcooked and dry. Wouldn't recommend

Very good place for a special location. It's a beautiful restaurant. We went there for birthday lunch. We ordered chicken pasta with a cream Creole sauce and the meatloaf. The meatloaf was a little dry. But a very large portion. The pasta was cooked well but the chicken was overcooked. I thought it was a little pricey. Give you fresh bread at the table. Overall, it was a nice experience. Service was decent. Bathrooms could probably be updated. There's a parking lot behind the building which made it convenient.

Not enough options and cost is too high for what you get. Ordered the scallops dinner and received FOUR scallops for $44!! With some arugula placed on top. Crazy to me. Not to mention was just mediocre. Friendly staff though!

The appetizers were very good. The main dishes we ordered were overcooked and lacked seasoning. The desserts were very good.

Excellent food and choices, friendly service. Drawback was there is potential for improved service. Took long to place order, had to request for water to be refilled, loud and breezy as say near kitchen. But would return for food

This was my first time dining at IVY. The atmosphere, staff and food were all beyond amazing. I went in for a company GALA dinner tonight and I can't remember the name of our server if it was Javier or Jose. Im not even sure if those are the correct names, however, I wanted to compliment him and his staff for giving us a wonderful experience. He was very helpful, kind and went above and beyond to service our big group. He had excellent patience and service with the amount of items we ordered. He was very professional at what he does. I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends. And hope to see him again as he did so wonderful tonight.

The Positive's: We had a reservation and were seated right away. At a higher end establishment this was a good thing. The ambiance here was incredible. Inside what used to be a church, the vibe was exactly what I was looking for, for the evening. The back light menu was a nice touch for us people who may be getting a bit older with out wanting to admit it :-p . The Ok's: Our server was incredibly nice however definitely had issues with timeliness when visiting our table. Drink order was given, then took north of ten minutes before our drinks were at the table, also mid meal, there was over a 25-minute period when we were not checked on, I had been thinking about ordering something else, then when we were ready for the check, again north of 20 minutes where she was nowhere to be found. The Bad: Then menu is not huge and with that I expect any meal on the menu to be cooked with a high degree of accuracy. We had a $50.00 steak come out at least 2 levels over cooked and to say I was disappointed is the least of the matter. By the time she came back to check on us i could have down the street ordered something from a different restaurant and brought it back to my table to consume it.
