Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Ivy in Seattle shines with its "great vibe" and "unique decor," offering an inviting atmosphere for both a casual meal and special events. Diners rave about the "delicious" chicken and waffles, "melt-in-your-mouth" crab benedict, and "exceptional" A5 Wagyu. The patio is perfect for brunch, and the cocktails are a hit, particularly during happy hour. Staff are often praised for their attentiveness and friendliness, enhancing the dining experience. A few operational hiccups exist but the overall experience remains highly recommended.

    Seems like they just started doing brunch - they didn't have milk or cream for coffee, any caffeinated drinks (cappuccino etc) other than coffee, and only whatever bar mix drink juices to drink otherwise. Food ok - I got the eggs Benny and it had salad under the egg and the bread wasn't toasted. Hope they get an espresso machine or at least some milk soon if they want to be a brunch spot!

    Food was good (except for my son's medium rare steak being way overcooked), but the service was very slow. They seemed to be short staffed.

    The Ivy totally blew me away. The chicken and waffles was so delicious and perfect balance of sweat and the crab benedict? Melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Every bite felt elevated but still comforting. The $25 unlimited mimosas was a steal. Chill music, beautiful decor, and great people-watching on the patio. Can’t wait to come back next weekend.

    The Ivy is hands-down one of my favorite spots in Ballard. Great vibe, unique decor, and the food and drinks never disappoint. It’s hard to beat the new patio brunch on a sunny day. So many great options on the menu. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles! So good!

    Took forever to get undercooked pasta, cold appetizers should come out fast. Good seemed like it should be good, bag execution. Drinks are similar; they sound amazing; poor execution. Went for Happy hour discount martinis, but no list of what martinis are actually covered. Don't want to play 20 questions with a bartender who seemed like he got called in on his day off. Only Three tables started and the place moved like it was packed.

    It was very busy when we came in, but the bartender was so kind and attentive to us as well, as every other person in the restaurant, which was insane. The food was incredible, and our waitress who waited our table was so kind and made us feel so welcome. Definitely recommend!
