| - Ehhhhh.
This was my second time at The Ivy. My first time was over a year ago for dinner, and it was totally fine. I thought the food was okay and the drinks and ambience were super cute. As a result, I suggested it for a girls brunch.
We met up for brunch today; there were about 10 of us and other than that, the place was dead. There was just an odd, empty vibe to the place, cute decor was still there, but it looked kind of dirty/disheveled.
They were out of tons of stuff, drinks were slow to be refilled, empty plates left on the table for a long time, etc. it was just odd-- like you could see leftover Christmas paper on your way back to the bathroom, the bathrooms weren't particularly clean, my friend got a salad without dressing and it ended up being because they were out of salad dressing, but no preemptive attempt was made to correct it before she complained. Whenever we attempted to voice a minor concern, the waiter indicated that it was all due to poor management?
Sometimes service is slow with a big group, but this went beyond that. It was very, very odd.
I want to love this place, it's cute and the food was good, but this trip left A LOT to be desired, sadly.
