Great experience. The restaurant was a 5 minute walk from the Santa Monica Pier where we attended the Cirque du soleil show. We had reservations and we were seated promptly. The steaks were delicious and cooked to perfection. The service and food were great. Definitely will be back.

The Ivy at the Shore was the loveliest experience! My daughter and I split a meal of corn chowder, guacamole and fried chicken and left with full bellies and beaming smiles. The service was impeccable and the tastes were divine! We also split a passion fruit mocktail of some sort that was fantastic!!
