    Ordered our meals and never received the salad ordered, sent back the grilled trio cheese and frozen fries. Spent a long wait period for this poor quality of food that is priced too high. The only best of the date night dinner was the appetizer of fried pickles.

    We’d never gone to Ivy Cafe and were looking for a lighter dinner. This was perfect. Good food, good place - crowded, but able to get a table for 4. Go there. It’s very good.

    We thought we would try a new restaurant during Clayton Restaurant Week as this often gives you a chance to do so. We have dined at most of the choices except a couple and the menu the Ivy Cafe was offering was quite appealing. We were promptly seated for our reservation and presented the 3 course menu and a selection of drinks and cocktails. We ordered drinks and were told about the dining selections. And were asked for our orders. Service was extremely disjointed and took 2-3 trips for each visit by a different member of the staff. The server never wrote anything down and repeatedly had to come back to the table to verify what each of us ordered. We were then told that one of the three entrees was out of stock - short ribs. We had a reservation- there were only 3 entrees they were serving all week and they were out all ready. Extremely disappointing. We started off with salads, beet chips and soup. The salad did not live up to the description- it lacked any flavor. The beet chips were soggy and the avocado smash was not fresh. This course was served over the course of 3 trips and 6 minutes. Entrees were split between the sea bass and the pasta. The fish was cooked perfectly but the quinoa was over cooked and the eggplant was cold. The pasta carbonara was tasteless and quite disappointing. Again, by the time the 6 entrees were served, the first 4 were tepid in temp. Desert was split between the offerings of foot butter cake, olive oil cake and cheese cake all presented attractively but taste-wise left much to be desired. Overall a very disappointing evening.
