The Ivy

This is the staple place to go for Cuban food in little Havana! I had the best time! I will say this place can get crowded and there might be a line. But when I went there there was no line and we were seated immediately. The pollo Versailles was so good!

My mother, who never eats pork, decided to order pork at this restaurant and she could not put it down. She ate every last bit which tells you how good and tender it had to be. well they were a ton of people coming in and lots of activity at the restaurant the service did not suffer from it. Our waiter was always attentive and laughed with us at our lame jokes, it was a lovely experience.

The service and the food were amazing. I had a vegetable salad with shrimp, it was absolutely delicious. We shared a side of chips and guacamole. Rick had the fried chicken and loved every bite. The decor is homey and interesting. Just a slight suggestion, put some cushions on the chairs. Had to leave slightly earlier than expected since I couldn't sit any longer. Other than that I highly recommend the Ivy to everyone. You won't be disappointed.

I will surely be back to your restaurant again and again! The food was very delicious! My favorite was Strawberry Ricotta Tart. It was very delicious and it is creamy and sweet. To have dinner in this place isn’t very expensive. In general, most of the dishes was very affordable. Therefore, this restaurant is good for those, who don’t have much money but want to visit a special place!`

If I could give it 10 stars I would!!! This restaurant is exceptional from the ambiance to the service to the food. I enjoyed every moment of being there and can't wait to go back. They start you by serving you champagne before sitting you down. It only gets better from there; especially sitting on the front porch surrounded by colorful flowers and twinkling lights, which by the way, not one single light was out. Those little qualities. The taste and presentation of the food and dessert were marvelous. The waiters were entertaining and friendly and took wonderful care of us. Beautiful!❤

Great food, wonderful setting (wonderful flower displays) excellent service. This is a really happy place that welcomes one with a complimentary glass of champagne. Good menu, tasty food. Not cheap, a place for celebrating happy occasions.
It has become one of our go to places when visiting L.A. enjoy!
