When we first walked in I was taken aback by how sophisticated and enchanting everything was. The server and waiters are very polite and help to liven the experience. Me and my partner both order the Lawry cut with creamed corn and creamed spinach and a shrimp cocktail to share. The spinning salad was a really nice touch and made it felt more personal with the engagement from staff. The drinks were fantastic. I ordered the raspberry lemon drop and my partner got the highland park scotch 12 year and the Mccallan 12 year scotch and they were all fantastic. The meat was cut table-side and it was excellent we both ordered ours medium rare but got a little rarer then that. The shrimp cocktail was delicious. The shrimp weren't overcooked and tough and the sauce was way out, better then any cocktail sauce Ive had. They had festive decorations and Carolers going around singing. Overall the experience was fantastic and perfect for our anniversary. Would recommend to people who want a really nice night out. It is on the pricier side but between the food and the experience, its worth it.

We enjoyed every aspect of our experience at The Ivy. The owner was actually there when we were and she was spectacular! The staff was very kind and helpful. The food is worth every cent and incredibly fresh. The freshcolorful flowers, custom pottery, art and atmosphere are such a staple in Los Angeles and truly one not to miss! You can tell the love put into the space and that exists with the staff.
