Ivy at the Shore

This was recommended to us and we could not have been more pleased. We had a great table that had views of the pier and the sunset! The apps, dinner snd drinks were terrific- it’s MUST if in Santa Monica- it will not disappoint!

Such a beautiful spot to enjoy a weekend lunch. Love to see all the bright colours. Nice menu selection for me the clean healthy eater, and my friend who prefers more decadent options. Servers were pro.

Excellent a salways. We did notice that after the Pandemic, their portion sizes have "shrunk"; e.g., small size of the Cajun Soft shell crab was rather petite!!

The food was amazing and the service was impeccable

I felt over priced for what you got

Yummy food and beautiful ambiance!

Fish and chips not the same. Sat us by a open door. Cold and staff going back and forth..

I have been coming here for 30+ years, always consistent , my favorite place to dine in Santa Monica!

Great waiter

They have built out the back so there are a good amount of tables and they are spread out. Everything was delicious and delivered to the table incredibly fast. Its also such a cute place, think Golden Girls decor in the best way. Is definitely a splurge prices wise thoough.

Always amazing at the Ivy

Fabulous, as always!

The Ivy at the Shore is my favorite restaurant. The food is amazing, the drinks are off the hook, and the service is amazing.

Amazing place! Loved it

The food used to be different! I’m sad :(

Love the corn chowder

Always enjoy going back to fir a great meal 🥘

Waitor hardly came to give us the check and extra Parmesan and stuff

So lovely to sit in the outdoor dining in the back. They have done a great job setting it up with colored lights! They were so accommodating on seating. Friendly! Service and food were great!

Ivy at the Shore is a great choice for both locals and people who are visiting LA. The food is great, the setting is beautiful, and it has a nice ambiance. The additional patio that is set up to accommodate more people during Covid is nice. We had some spectacular dishes, but one of them did arrive cold-- this problem was solved very quickly, and I think it was just a one-time issue. Overall, great food, setting, and service!

I hadn’t been back in years and it was even better than I remembered. The al fresco dining is a welcome sincere effort at keeping the standards high. Food wax delicious and the service from the moment we entered, was exceptionally warm and friendly. I’ll be back sooner.

Excelente todo!

Food was super mediocre

Antoinette was great at giving us good service. Food was the best I have had this year . . . or last.

Was a little cold, but we asked that the overhead heater be turned on.

Birthday dinner. Everything was amazing

I loved this restaurant and its location. You are in the heart of santa monica so access to shopping before or after dinner. Staff is super friendly and attentive and good prices for delicious tasteful food. I highly recommend you visiting

I adore the ivy, but with the expanded parking lot area all the servers seemed rushed and overwhelmed. It was very loud and felt crowded and chaotic.

The Ivy is always delicious and never lets you down. Highly Recommend

Ivy At The Shore is the only place we go for lunch and dinner in Santa Monica. Two of us ordered three starters all excellent especially crab cakes then both had the lobster stuffed with crab along with several raspberry mojitos which meant call an uber
Staff is superb and has been for years. I much prefer this one then on Robertson which is just too cliche and because I don’t care who eats there

Parking is a cinch and it’s always a delightful meal

Ambiance was lovely. The twinkle lights and heaters made the experience magical. The service was great!!!

The Ivy is my favorite restaurant. They have the best food and amazing service.

As usual the good was delicious and the service great.

I like the place but the most of food are too salty. Real foodies wouldn’t like it for sure. But I love the drink and vibe. Over price tho.

First parking was a flat fee of 19.00 No street parking or
public parking immediately near.
The host was too busy talking to other tables to take care of people coming in to be seated.
Server wad nice but we had to ask for things that came before our lunch arrived... like bread.

Great service, excellent food and ambiance. We enjoyed the seating in the front glassed in terrace. Excellent holiday dinner.

Easter lunch

It was the worst experience Ive had there. Have been dining at Ivy at the Shore for over 20 years, have celebrated many Easters there also. Last Easter spent there was 2019, and it was superb. This year was a different story. Our server Brandon was the worst, we had to ask for silverware, drinks (they took for ever), plates etc. All the wonderful things we love to eat such as the coconut cake, Banana Daiquiris , were not there. They offer a strawberry Daiquiris were unable to make the drink because they didn't have a blender. A restaurant with a full bar and no blender. Our meals went to another table and the server not Brandon was walking around looking for our table after he had tried to deliver the food to another table. It was a mess. Only thing good was the beautiful roses and the colorful ties on the waiters. They need to shape up. Won't be going back for a long time.

Lovely service, table and ambiance as usual.

This place is a gem and the staff is welcoming and lovely.

A must!

Easter. I love the ivy food is always delicious service is great.

Such a great experience. One of our top brunch places in terms of great food, service and ambiance. A must go!
