This was the cutest restaurant, ever. I took my mom and she had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful with all of the many differently flowers throughout the establishment. The food was delicious, the seasoning was perfect! I would rate this place a 20/10 . I can't forget the service. Everyone there was so polite and helpful. Their hospitality wasn't forced, the servers seemed genially accommodating and welcoming. There wasn't one time that I felt like I was visiting, they treated us like family. read more

Good morning, needed something warm and hearty for breakfast. So where else but the Ivy. Love their crabcakes, so of course had to try their crabcake Benedict. Comes with a side of potato fingers. To be honest, I thought the crabcake Benedict was mediocre. Wasn't a standout as I was expecting. Also ordered the raspberry coconut cake. Thought this was OK. Overall, breakfast was fair. Do you prefer their lunch menu. I will be back. read more

The Ivy is a beautiful restaurant with an upscale menu, known back in the day for celebrity sightings while dining. I would say, it's not quite as celeb-heavy as it once in the late 90s and 00s but you'll still see them popping in here and there. The patio is just gorgeous and quite charming surrounded by their signature white picket-fence and lush greenery. The service is truly top notch with very friendly staff abound. Now, I've been for brunch myself and was a bit shocked at the prices, paying $55 for an omelette and juice without tax & tip. However, you need to look at the Ivy as an experience, an event, an immersion into LA life. I've heard very good things about their dinner menu so need to go back to try that out next! I'll definitely be back again as The Ivy is truly a Los Angeles institution. read more

The moment you cross the fence you're greeted by warm jazz playing overhead. All staff is distinguished by their outfit, and although the place is small and you might bump it make room for others walking it's instantly homey. Your greeter will sign you in and almost immediately show you to your seat. Outside garden is surrounded by greenery and a cute brick wall that compliments the entire space. I'll add food information soon (: okay so the chilaquiles (no chorizo) and eggs were delightful. Tortillas still crispy and piping hot, cilantro garnish, with the sour cream on the side is how it's done, allows the experience to be more personal. The frijolitos (blk beans) are a perfectly seasoned and the tiny side of it gives just the perfect amount to enjoy throughout the meal. Lobster Scramble is def on point and the flavor does not disappoint it is most def cheesy to the max and served almost like a lobster egg n cheese fajitas scramble. The crispy golden potatoes were def just that, extremely soft on the inside with the perfect crunch. Happiness explodes within during brunch with their fresh pressed apple juice. read more

The IV is a hidden gem right at 113 N Robertson Boulevard just south of West Hollywood in Beverly Hills. The experience from start to finish is absolutely a wonderful you pull up in valet. Take care of your car. You come in through the picket fence to this amazing garden with roses and a great vibe. The food is delicious., no matter what you order you really can't go wrong. The servers are all wonderful. This is truly a VIP style reception. You don't often get a restaurant.. Matt was our server today, he was attentive. He helped us with decisions on the menu. He was funny with a great personality. Matt, our server really added the whole experience.. if you're looking for great atmosphere and good food definitely try out the Ivy at 113 N. Robertson Blvd.. the Ivy gets my five star Yelp review and my Personal recommendation! Bon appétit! read more

The Ivy is a staple restaurant in Beverly Hills next to Cedars Sinai. Cute decor and ambiance, but the service is lacking - it's hard to flag down a server when the place is packed. There are parking lots and street parking throughout the neighborhood. For the food: There's a minimum of one main or two starters per person. We all ordered a starter, main and iced tea. Overall, very expensive for the food quality and portions size: - Peach and Burrata Salad: refreshing - Crab Cakes: small, mostly filler - Smoked Salmon and Crème Fraîche: best dish we had read more

We chose The Ivy for brunch with our friends on our wedding day, right after our courthouse ceremony, and we could not have chosen a better place. The staff were extremely nice and professional, on top of everything. Our waiter Brandon was impressive in how attentive and professional he was. He heard everything we needed and made a point to help us with all of it. We never had to ask for the same thing twice, they never left us with an empty cup, congratulated us on our wedding, and did an amazing job with our cake, cutting and serving it for us. The food was incredible. Our filets were outstanding, and everyone left satisfied. The Ivy has this very whimsical vibe, decorated with the most stunning fresh roses. We took amazing pictures there! I can't even call it pricey. You truly get what you pay for, and we got the most incredible experience. Definitely our favorite place in LA so far. Can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely stunning venue with food to match. The restaurant was full, but the waitstaff were completely relaxed. No pressure to "turn tables" and rush people through. One has the feeling of dining in a lovely garden with all the time in the world. To start, we were presented with complimentary scones, light, perfect texture. still warm, along with cream and jam. These could have been served at a high tea in England. Delish. The grilled vegetable salad was incredible. Each component was cooked perfectly and harmonized beautifully. I had the salmon and crème fraiche tart. Perfect balance of flavors. My companion had a piece of grilled salmon - best we've had in ages. The Ivy recognized my birthday and brought out a piece of red velvet cake and vanilla ice cream. This isn't typically my favorite cake, but it was well executed. The brown butter cookies we ordered paired well with espresso. Exquisite meal which will be long remembered. read more

The Ivy is one of Los Angeles most iconic restaurants. I come here every so often and this time I went right after hiking Runyon. I feel like the restaurant needs a revamp. I remember pre covid they gave a complimentary glass of champagne. I feel like this time there was no vibe but there is always people watching here. My breakfast burrito for the price was whatever. The food is extremely overpriced and the service was so so. It's an iconic la restaurant known to be expensive and many celebrities used to frequent. I usually get the fish and chips or pizza. This time I got the breakfast burrito and corn ravioli and it was a mistake. I felt like it was nothing special and we just paying for the fact it's a iconic restaurant and its location. Cool fact: LeBron James has been seen here after he moved to LA to play with the Lakers! read more

Very cute, quaint, historic setting. I would recommend sitting outside if possible. We almost got sat at this table in the corner inside where one of people can't even see anything aside from an Eiffel Tower statue. Luckily we were able to ask if we could wait 15 more minutes from an outside table. The iced coffee was great, the Cesar salad appetizer was also very good and fresh, the lobster pasta was also pretty good with fresh lobster, and the lobster benefits were also good with the potatoes. The included scones are also amazing. For those who frequent the restroom, it was very nice even with poperie, but there are only 2 bathrooms and always a line. Love it, definitely pricey but all fresh and great ambiance. read more

This is one of my partner's bucket list restaurants and we finally got to check it out in February 2026. It's exactly as we expected, with a mix of tourists and Beverly Hills area folks. Pretty floral/garden themed decor with some "rustic" furniture here and there make it seem less pretentious although the pricing and service definitely are in the "upscale" tier. The food was OK for me. My partner ordered the carne asada and I ordered chicken. Neither dish made us think we need to come back for more. The service was wonderful. The cocktails were on the weak side for the price, but I understand where we are here. We may go back on our next trip to LA but there are so many other great choices. Street parking was easy to find, but we did go at 1:30pm on a Tuesday. read more

Lived in LA for a while. Not long enough to say I'm a native but long enough that I should have visited a lot of iconic restaurants like this one - The Ivy. Well, I finally did and I have to say, I had a good time. I was worried about the parking but found a parking garage. It's located less than one block south of the restaurant. I don't remember how much but it was clean, manned (booth attendant) and was less than 150 yards from the restaurant. Didn't have to do laps looking for street parking (metered) or hand my ride over to Valet. Service was great. Hostess was friendly and nice - nice enough to seat me about 20 minutes early for my reservation. No bar - I was given a choice of where to sit and I went with her recommendation to sit outdoors. The server was great as well. Took care of business, answering questions, and making sure my friend and I were well taken care of. I had steak. What else would i have? And I love it when it's prepared like I ask - and if you know me, it's gonna be rare! See pics. Chose mashed potatoes to go with my steak along with a Caesar salad and of course dessert to close everything out. It was a nice evening out on a school night. I ate too much but that usually happens when the food is good and you're having a great time. read more

You've seen it in dozens of movies, so the Ivy is a must-try for every Angeleno, at least once. My first time there was to commemorate an occasion, and it was the perfect place for a special outing. The place is visually interesting and unique - multicoloured roses on every table, primary-hued vintage-bulb Christmas lights, charmingly printed pottery dishes, and farmhouse décor. Service is impeccable, efficient and aware of the possibility of high-profile clientele. It's an odd mix of upscale and homespun. The cocktails were incredible - fresh-tasting and delicious. We tried the LA G&T and the mango pineapple margarita. We also enjoyed a strong espresso martini with dessert. With dinner, you'll receive a complimentary small, dense bread round with butter. The rib plate was nice, juicy meat with a flavourful sauce, slaw, crispy french fries. The lobster ravioli in pink sauce was divine. For afters, we split the aforementioned martini and a piece of key lime pie, appropriately tangy with homemade whipped cream. The have valet, but I parked at the Beverly Connection garage nearby. read more

The food changed completely. It's not the same. Came here today and I remember the food used to be good.. not sure what happened for it to be different.

Absolute downgrade unfortunately. read more

This is a review from a recent dineLA experience. I'm surprised I never reviewed The Ivy; I came here years ago and although I thought it was good enough, I obviously never returned. Seeing they were participating in restaurant week for the summer, I figured this would be a decent time to revisit. As I settled in, I notice two forks; one had a distinctive red hair tangled in its tines. I'm not a redhead. I let one of the many busboys around know, and he simply looked at it, pulled the hair away, while leaving the fork, not saying a word. I might have laughed at how absurd this was, from The Ivy of all places. Needless to say when he went to clear the other place setting from the table, I grabbed one of those forks, having him take away the one that had hair in it that with common sense you think he should have had removed, but didn't. Took about 4 minutes to receive a menu (none were for dineLA) so I let the actual waiter know when he came by to introduce himself. A raisin scone with butter and jam arrives before the first course, so it appears as though this was forgotten. When the chips and guacamole arrived less than a couple minutes later, this presentation was a joke. You could count how many chips there were on this large plate. What was odd is that the guacamole portion was actually fairly decent, which ended up being wasted. However the entree for the chicken had two pieces of meat (when I expected one) but the mashed potatoes and corn could have been slightly more generous. The mango sauce for the entree was okay, but not really needed since the food was so flavorful. Thank goodness the three cookies can't be messed with, although I forgot to ask if they had the ones without nuts, but I'll still eat them. Their lunch cost is $65, where a lot of lunch deals cap out at $35 or so but this is The Ivy, so consider this a splurge. In some ways, it is worth it if it's your debut visit here since they offer a lot of their popular items, including the grilled vegetable salad. Seeing this was their first time doing this promotion, I'm grateful they participated, but they could use some work. Suggestions if they want to do dineLA in the future: I understand portions can be smaller for this as I've eaten at many other places over the years for this, but they need to get it right where its actually balanced. More chips for the guacamole, and maybe measure the sides better for the entree. Food WAS decent; even the 10 chips or so I had were fresh and crisp. Service started off pretty poor as I mentioned, but a couple of the guys were fine, including the waiter and a guy with dark-rimmed glasses who was working a couple other tables in the dining room. The Ivy is most likely not a place for me, especially since I stick out as I prefer sitting inside over out since I'm not an outdoors kind of person. Still a heavy area for tourists as I overheard them coming in demanding the patio seating, or with that request, they could have been the regulars for all I know. Willing to try Ivy at the Shore for contrast- read more

I love the Ivy! Everything about the Ivy reminds me of home. It's almost as if your grandma is in a Jane Austin book and you're going to visit her. It's beautiful. They always have fresh flowers, so you feel like you're dining on the back porch in the garden. Regarding the menu, there's something for everyone and everything is delicious. There is nothing on the menu that is not wonderful. If this will be your first time going to the Ivy, don't be intimidated. The wait staff is always down to earth and friendly. There's no one snooty at all. read more

It's cute in here. The service is fast. Food is cool. Nothing spectacular to see here per se, but the service is great and the atmosphere is very cozy. The diners seated on either side of you are very close, heads up. I got the lobster pasta, which was tender and the pasta was fresh. A pinch of salt helped it along for sure. The cocktails are as strong as expected at an upscale establishment. No complaints there. I visited on account of the TMZ tour I went on with my out of town guest pointing it out. I can't say the goss about this place is emphatically true, but alas read more

The Ivy is one of those classic LA spots that actually lives up to the hype -- and then some. We reserved a table on the patio (aka the floral fairy garden of my brunch dreams) and were treated to the kind of people-watching and sunshine that makes you forget your emails exist. We ordered: * The omelette -- fluffy, cheesy, perfection. Like if comfort food had a Hollywood glow-up. * The vegetable salad -- shockingly flavorful for something so virtuous. Crisp, fresh, and beautifully dressed. 100000% would order again * The coconut cake -- oh my God. Moist, cloud-like layers with just the right amount of sweetness. Honestly, I'd come back just for this. Service was warm without being fussy, and every bite felt like a little moment. If you're looking for that quintessential LA brunch that actually tastes as good as it looks? This is it. read more

Had a reservation; still had to wait 30 minutes. Food is ok; that's not really why people go there anyway. Was taking a friend there to get it checked off her bucket list. Better options with better food and service elsewhere. It is very pretty inside and out though, they have valet parking, and the bathrooms are spotless. The corn chowder was delicious however, but the crab cakes were terrible, and had several shells inside. Thankfully, I don't have to come back again. read more

Definitely overhyped for what it is. The location is great and the patio has nice views of the street and surroundings. I liked the patio area and floral decor. It was very girly and cute, but the food quality was pretty average. We ordered lobster sandwich, which was one of their specials for the week and asked them to make it as a lettuce wrap as a healthier option. It was very few pieces of lobster and not a very rich sandwich. Came with chips. Got a glass of prosecco with it. Cool vibes, very picturesque and Instagramable place, but would not go back for food. read more

My husband took me to The Ivy for my birthday last month, as I had been talking about trying it for many years. It was a lovely surprise in many ways, and overall might be a spot I'd return to - but the atmosphere is definitely what you're paying for here. First off, the food was... good. Really good. But not spectacular. I had imagined our meal would be epic, given the years this little spot has been in business and the many, many films it has been featured in. But everything we had was just very good. It was the service that truly blew me away. The staff is FIVE STAR. So attentive, so polished and professional. And no rushing you through a meal - they took their time between courses and allowed us plenty of space to enjoy our conversation. Very impressed with the waitstaff there. I regret not trying their signature lobster dishes - I just wasn't in the mood for pasta that night. If we make it back again, I would definitely try the dishes the staff recommended, as I imagine they would have been the five star meal everyone raves about here. read more

Having lived in Los Angeles since 2014, this is my first visit to the famous Ivy restaurant (if you can believe that)! I'm glad I got to finally experience this restaurant after seeing it so many times on TMZ (it's a frequent stop for celebrities, or at least USED to be). Now, I don't know anything about how popular it is compared to how it used to be but that is not really a factor in my review. I care more about the quality of food and service. The food did not disappoint! I had an excellent meal! While the service was a bit slow, I did go on a Sunday night and there wasn't too many patrons there so perhaps that had something to do with it. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant was way different than I imagined though! It's small, quaint and VERY flowery! Lots of flowers/roses all over the place. It's not a bad thing. Very romantic I would say. All in all, I would definitely return and try some of the other dishes on the menu. read more

The Ivy is located in West Hollywood. Recommend reservations especially on the weekends. Aesthetically this place is very cute with beautiful floral decorations throughout. Seating is limited on the patio and all the tables are very close together so not the most intimate place to have personal conversations. Otherwise, service was on point from the moment we walked in. We were enthusiastically greeted at the hostess stand and I made note it was my friends birthday and the hostess immediately said happy birthday upon check in which was very thoughtful and kind. Our server was also very attentive and had great recommendations. The food was delicious. The menu is pretty extensive which was a pleasant surprise. They not only had a brunch menu, but lunch and dinner menu available as well during the weekend. It made the pickings quite difficult but we started with a cobb salad which was flavorful and filling. I decided to go with the ravioli corn ($32) and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend raved about the lobster pasta ($66) and it was huge! The drinks were also on point. I had the most beautiful sangria and it tasted just as good as it looked. It was so perfect for a lunch date with my bestie. Overall, this place has been around for years and still is a hot spot. They are doing something right because there was a line waiting to be seated when we left around 2pm. I can validate that the hype is real and will definitely be back. read more

This is the place to come when you want to feel good. Not only is the service incredible, the menu choices are delicious no matter whether you go for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The Saturday scones that are brought to your table once you're settled are fantastic, especially with the accoutrements that are offered. My guests chose lobster related dishes, and all of them were thrilled. I decided to try the margarita pizza and took half home even though it was allegedly a portion for one it was Very generous.

I was so disappointed with the Ivy. This is truly an overhyped restaurant. To start off I had been getting videos from the Ivy on my social media that made it look like a vibrant, girly brunch spot, and I was very excited to go; however, was shortly disappointed. The outdoor area is tiny and crowded with the inside seating being very dark. It definitely is not the bright, vibrant, place I expected- although they did have some pretty flowers around. The food was below mediocre. To charge 30+ dollars for 8 pieces of lettuce should be a crime. We had several dishes all of them were overpriced, under portioned, and tasteless. The pizza, the size of a small plate, was $80 and flavorless. All of us were very severely disappointed by all the meals. The only thing we thought they did well were the complementary scones (which it seems you have to ask for). I would not recommend this place from a flavor, ambiance, or price standpoint. read more

I really enjoyed my lunch at the Ivy. It has a prime location at the West Hollywood/Beverly Hills border. This restaurant is a quintessential LA brunch/lunch spot serving an eclectic array of American and Italian cuisine. It has a long history in LA starting in 1980 and it's well known by celebrities as well. The meal started with fresh baked bread which came out warm and was served with butter. For appetizers we tried the shrimp cocktail and chips & guac. The shrimp were big and fresh and the guac also tasted fresh. Even the chips tasted home made. For the main dish I tried the grilled vegetable salad with zesty lime chicken. It came with lots of veggies including zucchini, corn, tomatoes, lettuce, asparagus, scallion, and avocado. It was all brought together by a lime vinaigrette. It was really filling and fresh. While the food was good in and of itself, what really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere. There's fresh flowers at every table and plants growing all throughout the restaurant. There's great lighting when sitting outside and they also have indoor seating. Our service was good, albeit a bit slow. The prices are a bit high but you do get a good portion size. You're definitely paying extra for the location and atmosphere. I would definitely come back to try their dinner options. read more

A great way to top off the meal is The Key Lime Pie which is exceptional. Overall, an excellent experience! read more
