IVY - Wheaton

I recently had lunch at Ivy's. Everything was top-notch, from the food to the service to the atmosphere.

My family and I adore Ivy and decided to bring our mom there for a special birthday celebration, as she had never been before. Unfortunately, our waitress was not very pleasant. While her service and timing were acceptable, she appeared to be in a bad mood and hurried us through our meal. This was a disappointment, as we have always had positive experiences at Ivy.

IVY never fails to impress - we visited for our 35th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent and the prime New York steak and lamb chops were delicious. We also loved the roasted beet salad and finished off our meal with a sampler of all four desserts.

Appetizer took forever and was delivered cold. Was told it was a new appetizer and they learned how to make it on our order. Service was mediocre with waitress being somewhat inattentive. Meatloaf was built for appearance not for practical eating.

Excellent food quality. Very prompt and professional service. Prices were a little on the high side, but I would return there again.
