What People Are Saying About Ivy At The Shore

In Short – Coveted front patio seating across from the boardwalk connects to the main dining area, where a tastefully retro Hawaiian theme channels wicker and hues of pink and green. Model ships float in high-arched windows, anchored atop seashell-bordered mirrors which reflect the mismatched china adorning impeccably set tables. Sun-kissed Hollywood deal-makers hailing from the Palisades and Malibu spend family night here with their well-mannered offspring groomed in kiddie couture. The menu includes seasonal stone crabs, healthy salads, and grilled fish.

Very friendly staff
by angekur
Had to take a second to post a good review - the one (and only) time I have been there which was just a few months ago, the staff could not have been friendlier. My 1.5 year old son was with us and he was quite the toddler at the table, eventually spilling an entire bloody mary all over our table. The wait staff handled it so kindly and they continually came by to try to entertain him and keep him occupied. I was very impressed.

Great food - wonderful service
by JudyTersteeg
There were 7 of us and we were seated separately because there were not enough tables large enough on the porch. After being seated we told the waiter we wanted to all sit together. Not a problem they seated us inside and were most helpful. It was a family get together and we all were having fun and acting silly.
The food was all DELICIOUS! I had the mushroom pizza - so good. Three others had the fish and chips
they truly enjoyed it. When we left we went over an apologized for our silly behavior and the waiter
just smiled at us and said it was nice to see a happy family. What a wonderful thing to say. I will speak of
that experience for a long time to come. Thanks for a great memory
