I've eaten at a number of Michelin star restaurants in my life and how this restaurant hasn't been awarded one yet, is beyond me. The entire experience was flawlessly executed. The server was completely on top of everything, the presentation of the food was exceptional - and the taste... I was blown away by how flavorful everything single bite was of every single dish. The crispy pork belly appetizer was incredible. I literally slowed myself down to enjoy every single bite of it. The lamb was delicious and perfectly finished. If you're ordering drinks, I highly recommend the Rosemary's Baby. Sooooo smooth. We ate in the outside area and it was so well done, comfortable and warm. If you're looking for a great place for a special night out or just to get out for a nice date night, this would be the place.

I have to say one of the best steaks I've had in a while seasoned perfectly with a nice crust cooked to a perfect medium rare, sides were oven roasted vegetables and scalloped potatoes, all done very well A+! Seated at a table perfect for 2 people elegant place settings with nice stemware set for a nice variety of wines that they offer. staff was there when needed we had our privacy yet there when we needed them, food came out at perfect time intervals Drinks could have been better, and brownie was a little dry but a pleasant evening. Our dinner was during winter, so plan on making more reservations during the growing season and see how the menu changes with the seasons Looking forward to the next visit 🙂

Fantastic meal, great service, and a really unique and beautiful backdrop. There were so many things to choose between we’re going to have to come back. Bison carpaccio was perfect, pork was cooked perfectly, and the sticky toffee pudding was a great way to end it. Highly recommend

A great dining experience in Charlottesville. Impeccable service, gourmet food and nice drink selection. In a historic house with a lot of charm. The sticky toffee pudding cake - wow. Homemade pasta with bolognese was delicious.

WOW! My wife and I dined here celebrating our 5th year wedding anniversary. We have never had such an incredible restaurant experience in our lives! We were greeted with warmth and kindness and immediate wished a happy anniversary. Our server, Theresa, was an absolute joy to have. She was so knowledgeable about both the drink and food menus, as well as charismatic and kind. She made us laugh and feel extremely welcome and comfortable. And then the food. My goodness the food. We started with the creamy red pepper soup and the mushroom medley. Both of which were absolutely delicious. We also had the Bolognese, the rack of lamb, and the salmon. I had never had lamb before and it completely blew me away. The Gnocchi was by far the best I’ve ever had! The flavors mixed with salmon was also incredible. We also ordered the risotto which complemented our main courses perfectly. We finished our meal with the creme brûlée and key lime pie. I cannot describe how amazing both dishes tasted. They ended our stay with bringing us complementary brownie bites and wishing us a happy anniversary. We felt completely honored to dine here and will always remember the experience we had and will never forget our experience at The Ivy Inn! Thank you!

Excellent birthday dinner! I had a gnocchi starter and the recommended rack of lamb. Both were delicious. First time there, but won't be the last. Service is excellent and portions are good. Atmosphere is pleasant - not real loud so you can have a conversation. Overall delightful!

Absolutely delicious meal! To start, they brought us two glasses of champagne on the house to celebrate an occasion. They also brought out two varieties of bread and two servings of their house-made pimento cheese to share. Then, I had the roasted red pepper soup with bacon cheddar biscuits and chives. The biscuits were served essentially as soup-soaked croutons and they were sinful! The salmon was rich and even though I’m not much of an eggplant person, the paired eggplant was prepared to taste like balsamic. Our server saw I was abstaining from dessert so she also brought us the smallest sample to try of brownies to help us celebrate and satiate the dessert craving I kept at bay. It was a really special, romantic, and cozy dinner and I’d for sure recommend it to anyone looking to commemorate a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or other occasion.

Great atmosphere! Great service! Great food! Heather was very accommodating with our various food restrictions. The seafood bisque, warm wild mushrooms and salads were good appetizers. The trout, rockfish, beef tenderloin and pork chop were good as well. No room left for dessert. Next time!
