    The Ivy at the Shore is a true gem in Santa Monica, offering an unforgettable dining experience. The ambiance is vibrant and welcoming, with colorful decor and ocean views that set the perfect tone for a leisurely meal. The standout dish for me was the Stone Crab. Perfectly chilled and served with a tangy mustard sauce, the crab was incredibly fresh and flavorful, highlighting the restaurant’s dedication to quality seafood. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring every detail was just right. The Ivy at the Shore is a must-visit for anyone seeking exceptional cuisine and a delightful atmosphere.

    Had a wonderful experience for Thanksgiving dinner. Food was delicious and the service was fabulous. It had been awhile since we had dined there so it was good to have such an enjoyable experience.

    We have dined at the Ivy by the Shore for many years. This time, the food was under whelming to say the least based on our past experiences. The eggs were cold, the pancakes were so underwhelming that we were embarrassed because we brought first timers into the restaurant. We will think twice about returning.

    Quite noisy--the restaurant could use some carpeting(?) or wall coverings to reduce the noise level.
