I had such a great time at The Ivy! The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and beautifully designed—perfect for a date night or a relaxed dinner with friends. We celebrated my husband’s birthday there. The staff were super attentive and kind without being overbearing, and the service overall was top-notch. The food was just as memorable. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. I love the wagu nigiri and the lumpia. I also loved the lychee martini. It was well balanced, refreshing and with just the right amount of sweet. I’d definitely come back just for drinks and the vibes alone. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a spot in Ballard that feels both cozy and a little elevated. Can’t wait to return!

The Ivy in Ballard is one of my favorite spots in Seattle – incredible food, welcoming staff, great drink options, and the atmosphere is always on point. The wagyu smash burger is next level and absolutely worth trying. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place that delivers across the board!
