IPOFood and presentation excellent--esFood and presentation excellent--especially the scallops and lemon/strawberry/rhubarb dessert. Service was fine. Go early to beat the crowd.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food but very noisyThe section my group sat in was incredibly loud. I could literally hear everyone's conversations because the louder it got, the louder everyone had to speak to try to be heard. Food was very good, service was excellent, but since I go out for a lot of lunch meetings, I don't know that I would go back unless they put in some sound dampening equipment. I am not expecting it to be a library, just a normal restaurant noise level would be appreciated.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent foodThe food was excellent. The beet salad included some interesting elements that really pulled the flavors together. The short ribs were outstanding. Other than the fact this is in the W hotel and the restaurant itself does not have much character the food was great and I would visit again.5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMbeat food in the areaLove IPO. It's great for lunch. Only criticism is that it tends to be loud. And I wish its decor wasn't quite so dark.4/25/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful decor-veryodernBeautiful decor-veryodern & upscale. Within the W hotel which has a beautiful lobby so a good meetup place. The service was great as was the food. We went to the oriental theatre so had free valet parking which was an added bonus!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWe enjoyed an early dinnerWe enjoyed an early dinner at IPO before seeing "The Book of Mormon". It was a convenient location for us and we took advantage of their theater menu. The food was very good, nicely presented, and plenty for a before-the-theater dinner. We enjoyed our overall experience at IPO.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMA Downtown GemThis was my first trip to IPO and I wasn't pleasantly surprised. It's a convenient business lunch spot, although it can be a little loud during peak hours. Still, we were seated at a spacious table and had little trouble conversing. Our server was pleasant, prompt, and attentive enough to refill our beverages without intruding on the conversation.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Lunch SpotI went during a quick work lunch. I made reservations for around noon, but the restaurant was not busy so I am sure I could have just walked up and got a seat right away. I ordered the quinoa chicken meal. It was a great meal - high protein, low fat, and not a heavy meal. The service was very good, we got our food on time and they were able to process our checks right when we requested the bill.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGood, but not memorableIn line with W hotel branding, décor and ambiance. The food is artistic, a lot of style, flavorful, but very small portions. My date and I shared appetizer, main dish, dessert, and barely made a dent. Priced ok. Good, but not memorable.2/11/2013 12:00:00 AM
