Seasonal Local American Cuisine. We use many local products from local farmers. We are located about a mile west of the University of Virginia campus. Historic old home turned into a restaurant. Three small intimate dining rooms upstairs, one on the ground floor and a large weather protected patio. In the winter the Patio is heated. Family owned since 1995. Special diet needs met upon request.

    Groups of 8. Great service. Most of the food was yummy, but 2 people thought the rockfish was a little too salty.

    We ate here twice in consecutive days b/c we wanted to try BOTH their Thanksgiving fixed menu and their regular menu the next night. Both were great and I'd even say that their Thanksgiving fixed menu was maybe the best holiday fixed menu I've ever had out. Tasted BETTER than home-cooked! Only complaint is their wine list should be as good as their food - needs to have some elevated options.

    Incredible Thanksgiving feast. Five courses for $89 and brought 1/3 of it home to enjoy leftovers tomorrow. The usual five star quality plus no cooking or dishes to clean makes tIvy Inn the way to go for Thanksgiving
