The Ivy

"The food is, yes, wonderful at The Ivy. But for me, the decor is the main draw: Provençal in style and kaleidoscopic in hue, it’s a distinct ambiance that can't quite be compared to anywhere else: booths are accented with poppy-red striped pillows, and tables are topped with crystal candelabras. On the walls are a mix of blue-and-white plates as well as a gallery of expressionist-esque paintings. Meanwhile, beautiful flowers are everywhere." — Lilah Ramzi"

The Ivy Review - West Hollywood - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"In the '80s and '90s, The Ivy was a place where A-listers and agents went to argue about movie contracts while eating grilled white fish on the tree-covered front patio. These days, the fun is long gone. Celebrities and Hollywood power brokers have now been replaced by confused tourists and TikTokers making videos for their 200 followers. A meal at The Ivy was never about whatever random pasta dish or grilled chicken salad you ordered, it was about the glitzy, gossip-column scene unfolding in the dining room. Without that, there’s little reason to come here." - Brant Cox

Where to Eat in London

"Just a few minutes from J.Sheekey in the heart of London’s theaterland, The Ivy is a restaurant every Londoner has to visit at least once. Serving diners since 1917, this restaurant was almost exclusively a celebrity haunt in the 1990s. Nowadays, everyone can enjoy the classically elegant decor and exceptional service. The menu options are British with a few Asian-inspired dishes mixed in. Signature dishes include shepherd’s pie, Thai sea bass, and Devonshire duck breast.Where: 1-5 West St, London WC2H 9NQ, United Kingdom" - MATADOR_NETWORK

How the Ivy, Nobu, and Craig’s Became Celebrity Hot Spots | Eater

"A once-iconic Beverly Hills lunch spot that became shorthand for early-aughts celebrity culture and paparazzi spectacle, it served as the ideal outdoor backdrop for reconciliations, business meetings, and tabloid moments; being snapped on its patio signaled you were famous enough to sustain the paparazzi economy. Though its cultural cachet has faded somewhat, it remains a popular dining locale for Hollywood power brokers." - Mariah Smith
