Business Description

A breezy, resort-style restaurant draped with bougainvillea and overflowing with Old World colonial charm, Ivy at the Shore is known as the shorefront spot where Hollywood moguls make deals and celebs hide in plain sight while sipping umbrella-laden cocktails. Despite its reputation for exclusivity, the Ivy—as it’s typically truncated—feels down-to-earth, almost homey, an atmosphere reinforced by ... more

It`s the ocean-front cousin of famed chef Richard Irving`s Beverly Hills Ivy. This version greets the coastal couples and small, casually-chic families with surfer beach house decor, the exceptional service that Ivy is known for, and the consistently praised menu featuring California favorites, such as crab cakes and the grilled vegetable salad. The evening scene is usually elbow to elbow, so ... more

Model ships float in high-arched windows, anchored atop seashell-bordered mirrors which reflect the mismatched china adorning impeccably set tables. Sun-kissed Hollywood deal-makers hailing from the Palisades ... more

I have been to The Ivy on Robertson and that place is so overhyped & overpriced (not to mention the food sux), but this location across from the Santa Monica pier is fantastic! I've been here several times and each time I am surprised at how good it is (I had such low expectations at first based on my experience at Robertson).

WORST AUTOMOSPHERE.
WORST SERVICE.
WORST FOOD.
WORST PRICES.

My ears are still ringing. DONT BOTHER. You are OVER-PAYING for the possibility of seeing a celebrity. THATS IT. If you want good food, go somewhere else.

Best "Soft Shell Crab" anywhere....And believe me, I have tryed and no one comes close! Excellent Service!!!
