  1. The ambience was perfect for my date and I and the meal did not disappoint either.
  2. Wonderful non expensive cozy spot in the heart of expensive Tribeca
  3. We recently went to Ivy's bistro with a group of 10 people and were delighted to see that new owners had purchased the place giving it a fairly impressive makeover in decor and food.
  4. The smart decor is inviting, with white walls, walnut-stained floors, small tables topped with white tablecloths, and chocolate-brown crushed-velvet banquettes.
  5. This place is cozy/cool with GREAT Jazz playing all night long.

Worst place ever!

by ConnieFrenchie

This restaurant is the WORST place ever. 45 minutes to wait for pizzas and pasta, even not good. The worst was the service, the waitress was arrogant and very rude. We went there because we didn't make reservation to Locanda Verde and couldn't get a table. Such a disappointment, don't go there!....

Love this place!!!!

by nic1194

We went to Ivy's Bistro for my boyfriends birthday. I had called to ask if they could make a carrot cake (his favorite) and they said yes without hesitation. Turns out the chef had never made one before and he went and searched for a recipe and made it all completely from scratch. It was phenomenal!! We all loved it. Plus our waitress could not have been nicer and the food was incredible! The place is so cute, too. We are going to be going her more often. So glad we found this little gem!

  • Pros: Food, service, ambience

excellent food and service

by Greatspot

Ivy's is a great place for any special occassion or just a casual dinner out. I have been there several times and always have a great experience. The owner usually comes by and says hello and the food is exceptional. It is a great place to go in the summer, great outdoor seating and 1 block from the river. I am so happy there is a restaurant like this in the neighborhood.

  • Pros: food, ambience, service
  • Cons: not much bar space
