A social-drinky-foody-goody people watching spot!
We are part-time regulars here - especially in the summer - because we like 80th & Ivy's street-side outdoor space and it's location on 17th avenue SW for people watching. Socializing and people-watching with friends is really the main reason we go here and everyone enjoy's watching the interesting or wtf or attractive or musical or sometimes comical people that cruise the 17th avenue strip. You never know who you are going to see... and you would be surprised at how many people roam up and down 17th (in-vehicle and on-foot).
Overall, 80th & Ivy is a decent place to strike up a conversation with another table, which ends up happening often there. It's a good place to be social even if you had not planned on it. And today did not disappoint.
From our experience, the customer service is always good and you will find that the staff are generally enthusiastic and very welcoming when you walk in the door. You never have to wait long for food or drink either, which is something we take note of no matter where we dine.
Since we have made a point to try the entire menu I will list a few recommendations:
- Bacon wrapped dates
- Tempura prawn skewers
- Cajun chicken sandwich
- Ivy burger
- Rotisserie chicken
- Ahi tuna
- Beet & blackberry salad
- Buck o'shuck oysters
Thanks 80th & Ivy,
