Best Seasonal Restaurants in Wheaton

We went in the Saturday following Valentine’s Day and enjoyed the prix-fixe Valentine’s dinner. The food options were good. Our dinner, wine selection and service were very good.

This was our first time there. It is is very beautiful restaurants. We were greeted with a warm welcome and were seated promptly. The tables are set so as not to make you feel crowded. We ordered the almond crusted bread as our starter. It was nicely prepared and well presented. We each ordered a side Ceasar salad. Unfortunately, there was not much to it and could have easily been skipped. In fact, my guest sent hers back as it was very pedestrian. I ordered the lobster crusted filet 'special' and my guest ordered the Diablo pasta! Both were served hot, were very tasty and elegantly presented. We shared the strawberry mousse cake for dessert. It was very decadent! We did not order alcohol, and we got the sense that we were being 'rushed'. We were not offered coffee with dessert. From the time we sat down until the time we left, it was about 70 minutes. A bit rushed. Obviously, they wanted to turn our table 4 or 5 time for the evening. I would recommend dining at IVY, though be prepared to underwhelmed. For a 'romantic' Valentine's dinner it wasn't very 'romantic'. The 'coolest' thing was the light-up menus!

The menu was interesting and unique, the food was excellent, and the service was stellar. Cocktails were delightful and beer, wine selections were great as well. All around experience was wonderful. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience as always! From the ambiance to the food to the service... we love this place and everything it represents.

We have been here twice, and both times, the food & atmosphere were top notch. If you like green beans, their Tempura Green Beans with black sesame and plum sauce are incredible. And, on Thursday nights there is a small Jazz band in the bar, which is cozy too.
