We went to their fright night venue, which was decorated for Halloween and it was decorated so amazingly I literally love the vibes in there. All the cocktails were in cute little unique cups and they were soooo good we didn’t get any food, but the service was great. The ambience was great. The DJ was amazing. She was playing such great tunes that fit the vibe

Loved the Halloween decor, great service, but it was LOUD. Like yelling so someone two feet away could catch every other word you say loud. For reference on my last trip to Nashville I honestly don’t think any bar I went in was this loud. They had a dj and maybe they just had it cranked the night we were there but it really kind of ruined the experience for me. Heard other women in the bathroom saying the same thing.
horrible like varley alone

Waiter was non existent and it wasn’t even busy yet. Forgot our food and drinks multiple times. Found her in he bathroom take pics as we were waiting 30 mins for her. We were very excited for this experience and unfortunately it was not as expected

The shrimp and grits are phenomenal! I don’t normally order shrimp but our server, Maureen, said I should try the grits and I’m so glad I did! Blew my mind! She was a great server! The cocktails were yummy too.

I was very disappointed and will not return This was our first time at Ivy. I was on the open Table website scrolling for a restaurant for lunch. I like the looks of this place. The bar looked interesting. When we arrived, the hostess showed us inside and set us at a high top table Some of the tables were not cleaned We were seated by a noisy group We revisited for the first time by our waiter promptly I asked for two tastings of the cab Sauvignon They did not have either available Which meant that they did not have any cabs Which meant that I would have to look for a different entrée as I was going to have the beef Bolognese We both ordered a cocktail Neither of us were very satisfied Our server did not check in with us to see if we were pleased until much later and by then it was too late The baked goat cheese was good The salmon crostini was fair We decided that we had had enough and paid for our meal and left But not before using the restroom Heaven for bed, anyone comes in with a wheelchair The hook was too high to reach and there is a big post in the ladies room that you have to navigate around It can't be up to code I am sorry it was such a sad experience, but I am looking forward to some other wonderful restaurants while visiting in Salt Lake city
I had such a great time here! The atmosphere was super chill but still fun, and the service honestly made the whole night. Andrew behind the bar was awesome — super attentive and easy to talk to. Some staff members who stood out were Kendra, Josh, and Liza who were all so friendly and welcoming. It’s rare to go somewhere where every staff member is genuinely kind and seems to enjoy what they do. You can tell they all care about making sure everyone has a good experience. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to — they made me feel like a regular on my first visit!

Loved the Halloween PopUp Fright Club. Vibes were great. Drinks were good. Loved the apps, just wished there was a burger on the menu for my husband. Bites were small and we wanted dinner & drinks. Service was good & attentive.
Their Halloween pop-up was delightful!

We went for brunch on Sunday. The service was awful and the food was mediocre at best. We had to try to wave down our server three times as he walked by avoiding our table. We eventually waived down another server to help us get ours. It was not crowded. We were there for 30 min before our drink order was taken. We were there for two hours total and received one drink order and were never asked for another even though we tried really hard.
It’s a shame because the atmosphere is so cute, but definitely now worth the rest. I would go somewhere else.

We went to Ivy with a large group for a birthday, the restaurant doesn’t seem to have a big enough area to accommodate larger groups. The tables they put us at were terrible for a group to be able to hang out and communicate. The food was pretty mid. We ordered the kale Salad, Gouda french fries, artichoke dip and salmon. My husband said the salmon was terrible. It’s not a place I would choose to go to. At least The French 75 was good!

Was excited to go here based on the reviews, all of them were wrong. First the host, was not at the stand so we walked in and were immediately asked to return back outside in the cold. They then check our IDs for us to sit at the bars where the service simply wasn't attentive and the food was by far the worst I have ever had. My kimchi bowl tasted like someone was emptying out their fridge and just put red pepper on it. It was also HuGE which made the different ingredients cook ever inconsistently, mushrooms were so small and overcooked whole my broke still had a crunch. The beef portion on the other hand was so small, that it felt like we got a lunch portion. Would not return even with the inKind discount
All of the empty tables were covered with used dishes. Had to wait at least 20 minutes. Water feature was almost empty and had food in it. Hunter our waiter rocked!!! Food was acceptable. Clearly no management present.

This is my first time dining here and I will give it another shot. A few things that were less than ideal. First off I show up at my reservation time and there's a long line out the door during a very cold and rainy night. Not sure what the holdup was, but by the time we got seated at our table, it had been 20 minutes. Waited another 10 minutes for anyone to come to the table, order drinks. Then she came back and we ordered appetizers and main dish. Our appetizer showed up before our drinks. I had a really nice cocktail, but my glass was only about 3/4 full at the most. It was just a few sips honestly. It was a busy Saturday night, but still some of the service issues seemed less than ideal. The food was really good.
