    I highly recommend this restaurant — everything was excellent, from the food to the service. There was a bit of noise coming from a nearby table, but overall it didn’t take away from the great experience.

    We were glad to see Willow and Ivy open up as we enjoyed the restaurant previously under a different name. The renovation is beautiful - open, but warm and inviting. The food for our brunch was as good as ever and the service was excellent! Willow and Ivy is a great addition to the Boston Back Bay.

    What an amzing experience. My roommate and I started off trying the one the Mocktails the "Berry Good Lemonade" so delicious. Followed by the "Heritage Pork Belly Adobo" which was recommended to us and oh my what a dish the flavor combination was explosive and the pork melts in your mouth. I also tried the "Poached Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail" ...by far the biggest Shrimps I've ever seen and another amazing choice. For my entree I chose the "Branzino" I've been wanting to try this dish for the longest time and so glad I chose to go with this dish at Willow and Ivy and the crispy smashed potatoes were amazing and made a delicious pairing. And for dessert I tried the "Cappuccino" and "Warm Double Chocolate Brownie Sundaе" was truly satisfying to watch this dish being brought to the table I was in awe when they placed it on the table In front of me. As my roommate told me my eyes nearly popped out my head watching them pour the hot chocolate on the chocolate shell and watching it melt down to expose this chocolate goodness hiding underneath. Absolutely amazing 21 out of 5 stars.

    OMG what a great addition to the Back Bay and Lenox Hotel!! The space is cozy, yet sophisticated in the best way. The tuna appetizer - perfect. The peach focaccia was maybe the best bread I have ever eaten. Both the mushroom pasta and bolognese were outstanding. For dessert the home baked cookie - delicious (warm from the oven). The raspberry/lime creme brulee was the most incredible I've ever had. The staff was gracious, attentive and excited to share this new treasure with us.

    Decor stunning, service outstanding, food incredible - fun was had by all!!! We had the foie gras, beef carpaccio, baked oysters, and for entrees: filet mignon and the chicken - melted in our mouths. Creme brulee was the dessert for us and was to die for!! Cannot say enough good things!!!
