Ivy Restaurant
We delayed our Valentine's Day plans until Saturday, when we decided to give Ivy Restaurant a try. Ivy uniquely offers a tapas-style Italian menu in a hip downtown setting. We heard such good things, so we finally had to give it a try. We enjoyed the cool decor, thought the service was great, and loved the Sweet Potato Gnocchi. However, the tables were FAR too close together as we basically were rubbing shoulders with our neighboring diners. Furthermore, when the whole concept of the restaurant is to allow customers to try a bunch of little dishes, you should probably make sure that those dishes can fit on the table. It was quite the struggle to even fit three dishes on our tiny table. However, as we said in our review, some of the plates were outstanding, which made it a satisfactory trip. We'll probably give Ivy another try when we head out with a big group, we'll just make sure to ask for a big table. - posted by Mike Andrews @ 2:44 PM
