Bday Brunch at The IVY! ^_^
So for one of my birthday plans this year, I decided I wanted to have a small bday brunch with my mom at the IVY!
The IVY for those who don't know is a super popular high end chic restaurant on Robertson in Beverly Hills! Celebs go there and it's just a very cute and quaint spot that you can brunch or lunch at lol.
I thought it would be fun to blog my experience and kind of do a mini restaurant review on my blog at the same time! =)
This was my first time coming here and I've been wanting to come to this place for awhile so this was definitely something I was looking forward too!
So the first thing you should know about this place is that it is reservation only. I'm so glad I happen to call in advance because I had no idea. And when I asked the guy on the phone about reservations, he was like "uh. yea.. you need a reservation." Like that's a given! lol Oops. lol. Didn't know! So I made a reservation for brunch at 2 o clock.
But ok, on to the fun part! When you first walk in, there's complimentary champagne! ^_^
You walk into this little champagne room area and grab your champagne and then you are seated.
Here's a pic of our champagne! =)
And this was some quality champagne! Like one sip had you floating pretty much lol.
And then we went on to ordering our meal.
I went ahead and got the lemon chicken mixed greens salad as shown above.(By the way, this salad was like the BEST salad I ever had. I promise. It was so freaking good!) My mom ended up going with the same and we also got matching drinks! There's a specialty drinks list here and we got the mojitos which were amaazing! The pellegrino was complimentary too.
Afterwards, they give you a little box of cookies from the Dolce bakery on Robertson like a little gift. =)

The one thing I'd say is be prepared for how small and close together everything is. Especially inside. I'd choose a corner table so that you have more room and more of your own space. But I'd choose inside over outside any day. Each table is garnished with fresh roses too which I thought was so beautiful! .. But deff bee attracting lol. So uh. yeah! Inside is the way to go I think. The roses are more fresh outside on the patio area and the patio area is kind of really cute like a little garden but I'm just an inside girl. Plus, outside you have to deal with insects (which I saw people dealing with) and other outside elements but the possible bee situation alone was enough to want to sit inside lol! sorry!
And that's my experience at the Ivy! I loooved it and will definitely go again! I recommend this place and give it 5 hearts!
