I hadn’t been to Ivy at the shore in over 20 years. Boy, what a difference. The prices are still high, but the food was terrible. I am not usually a critical person, but everything was just awful. French fries were soggy fish was overcooked, lack of seasoning on most of the items. I let the waiter know in the kindest of ways that the quality of food had deteriorated 90% from the good old days when the restaurant had a great reputation for fine food. I don’t think I will ever go there again in this lifetime.

I have dined at the Ivy numerous times at both locations. My husband is a restauranteur in NYC- so we dine out a lot! I loved everything about my experience Thursday night! The staff was incredibly conscientious, welcoming, and provided top service. The food was excellent- everything was more delicious than the next. We had just flown in from nyc and this was the absolute perfect reception to Los Angeles. The Ivy remains one of my top favorite restaurants to date!

The front patio was crowded and very loud, so of course we then had to shout to be heard ourselves. Other than that the food was really good, a couple had the branzino which was excellent, the lobster ravioli was also very good and I had the burger which was one of the best I have had. I did not need all the fries though, there were more than enough for 3 people!
