The patio behind the ivy covered white picket fence at The Ivy is a popular celebrity hangout and power lunch spot. Be sure to wear your Christian Dior sunglasses and dress in stylish California casual attire if you want to be seated on the celebrity filled patio. The pricey meals are well presented and are complimented by an exceptional wine list. The healthy California cuisine emphasizes a broad selection of seafoods, spicy cajun dishes, grilled meats, pastas and comfort foods.

- The Ivy - Hot Celebrity Spot in West Hollywood
The decor of antiques and paintings at The Ivy is embellished with baskets of fresh flowers. Ask to be seated on the outdoor patio so you can watch the celebs pull up and chances are you will see at least one on the patio because that is the place to be seen and photographed by the paparazzi.
Skip the $28 burger and try a healthy salad full of fresh grilled vegetables and chicken. The crab cake appetizers are popular and so is the house Ivy gimlet.

A good choice is the steaming platter of fresh fish, piled high with shrimp, scallops, cod and calamari, plus a tall stack of onion rings and fries. If you want something more spicy, try the mesquite-grilled Cajun prime rib and the Southern fried chicken is great comfort food.

The L.A. Desserts Bakery provides mouth-watering meal toppers such as pecan squares or the very popular fresh berry crumble made with blueberries or raspberries. The ice cream sundae may be the best. It consists of rich vanilla and chocolate brownie ice cream, generous portions of hot fudge and butterscotch sauces and topped with fresh whipped cream.

Arrive very late after the kitchen stops serving dinner and they might seat you for dessert only, otherwise it is strictly take-out.

There is metered street parking, a validation lot and valet.
