I had such high hopes and expectations for Ivy - saw it reviewed and it looked like it had so much promise. And while the ambience was nice and the wine list was good/affordable, the food itself was terribly disappointing. We had the arancini, which came out luke-warm and soggy, and the scallops came out cold and without texture as well. The gnocchi was frighteningly gummy and lacked flavor, and the mussels were only half-edible - good flavor but half of our portion was closed (dead and inedible). I was there a few months ago, so perhaps they've worked on their quality since then, but I unfortunately cannot recommend Ivy, unless you're looking for a cute place to just grab a glass of wine with friends.
