    Great start for a lovely morning . I was there at 8:20 and I was the first and only costumor in Saturday morning . I liked my salmon egg Benedict definitely the plate is big enough for sharing

    Sigh. The Ivy and its pretentious history in LA: Ok food, overly expensive. Some vegetarian options, including the cheese and spinach ravioli with (not so) crispy sage and an Ivy gimlet is tolerable.

    Best Mexican breakfast in the US! Tomatillo eggs and chilaquiles are my favorites. Authentic Mexican flavor. If coming on a sunny day, ask to be seated outside

    Where to start! The blackened prime rib is to die for! The crab cakes, tuna tartar , and grilled veggie salad with scallops.. Mmm but save room for the apple tart tartin.. Heaven!

    Expected much better breakfast. Egg Benedict ( the turkey tasted awful & the hollandaise sauce is tasteless). French toast has a-lot of flavors to a point you can’t enjoy. The side dishes though 👍🏼

    Order an Ivy Gimlet and enjoy their awesome patio seating that looks out to the ocean and the Santa Monica ferris wheel. -Jessica F.

    Ordering the Ivy Gimlets a must, 1 is not enough...Juans the best! Instead of waiting on a table enjoy being social at the bar or entrance table and ordering appetizers Read more

    You have to try the lobster ravioli. The Ivy pink sauce it comes in might be one of the greatest things I have ever tasted.

    Corn chowder, crab cakes, lobster pasta, ivy gimlets, followed by the apple and blackberry crumble will do just fine.

    I prefer this one over the one on Melrose St. Red velvet is good but overrated

    Used to be good.. I think. Super overrated. Never get the fish and chips - it was a fried massacre of random seafood that all tasted like fried nothing.

    Do not expect service to equal the high prices. I was cut by a flying champagne glass a waiter bumped from my table-I attempted to control bleeding w/dinner napkins no 1st aide kit? Manager was RUDE!!

    The shrimp salad special is amazing. Some really good seafood. Skip the spinach or broccoli. They are bland and usually overcooked.
