Go for the small dishes. Have 5 of them instead of a main course. The uni rissotto is excellent and so the foue gras cookies and steak tartare. Cocktails are great also, wines could be better. Enjoy!

Baja Shrimp Toast is a lot like spicy avocado bruschetta. It's hearty but not heavy. Great plate for two to share. A respectable portion of charred beauties under those cukes and radishes. Get it.

The deviled eggs are made up of this marvelous egg white meringue concoction. You just have to try it. Everything we ate was amazing - yellowtail tostadas, linguine with clams and uni butter.

The food was sensational. I enjoyed the deviled eggs, buttermilk biscuit and pasta dishes. Unfortunately many of the dishes had nuts in them and could not be altered. I wish I could have tried more!

Definitely one of the best restaurants I've been to in SD. The lamb was great and so was the chicken. Had a few phenomenal apps as well. Check it out for a celebration dinner or something special

Most diners responding positively to Richard Blais' seasonally-driven "left coast cookery". Excitement's building towards the launch of the chef's tasting menu and the full unleashing. Read more

We told our server that we would like to meet Chef Blais. Chef was so gracious, came out to our table to introduce himself, then took us back to kitchen to take photo. Food was delicious.

Everything is incredible; from the food to the service. Highlights were the squid link linguini and the deviled eggs. You can't go wrong here.

Really wanted to like it. Great service and atmosphere, but the food is just off... it’s just missing something that would make everything click and be the great restaurant you want.

Menu here changes daily. Every meal here is a new and fresh experience and always very delicious. I go here every year after SDCC and highly recommended it.

Deftly walks the line between classic deliciousness & overworked modernist. Excellent meals with charming service. They tell you that outside is more laid back but are forgetting the overflights.
Lindsay BrookeApril 29, 2017
Wow!!! What an amazing restaurant. The food is beyond delicious with so many depths of flavor. Highly recommend the hand rolls, the duck, and all of the pastas.
Jack PersingerMarch 8, 2014
Alexis our server was great. ..sitting upstairs is no fun. ...the small plates were amazing across the board...room is beautiful. ...kitchen is amazing....don't sit upstairs....and Jen is amazing.

Great California fare with a southern twang. Was fine on the novel take on deviled eggs but loved the seafood tostada and the beef tartare toast.
Sara TaylorOctober 12, 2017
Enjoyed all the dishes we had, especially the garden & grains. Extensive wine list and good cocktails. However, it can get very loud and the tables are quite close together.
Martin MartinMarch 9, 2015
One of the most amazing dinners I've ever had. Creativity abounds in ingredients, preparation and presentation.
Serious EatsMarch 8, 2014
Go here for inventive plates (large and small) by Richard Blais, paired with excellent wines and imaginative cocktails.
Kevin WilsonAugust 29, 2017
We just asked the waitress to bring us tapas style starters as our meal. Awesome - all of it!!!
Perriann HodgesDecember 24, 2014
Fancy! Reservations are a must. Youdle for dessert! Oh and if you want the best double double you have ever had... Ask! It's not on the menu!
Amy ValentNovember 21, 2014
The yellowtail is excellent. Very good quality fish and the combination of the crisp, vegetables and the fish in one bite is fantastic
💕Linds💕October 1, 2018
Amazing! One of the better dinners I've had out. The tuna wellington was delicious. Try the deviled eggs!
George FahourisApril 20, 2014
Sitting at the bar tables that overlook Restuarant was really nice. Great atmosphere. Octopus dish was very good, as well as the pasta dish.

Great place, nice atmosphere! We enjoyed every option we ordered and service was outstanding. Highly recommended in San Diego
Vincent QuanDecember 5, 2018
Cool environment and vibe. I would order small plates and the bites. I liked the biscuit, and chestnut agnolotti.The yodel was too sweet for my liking.
Morgan ConnacherApril 26, 2014
Fantastic vibe and spectacular playlist! Try the bone marrow and oysters, yellowtail, and meatball with rhubarb marinara.

"From there, crab linguini in sea-urchin sauce; it’s the sort of thing culinary dreams are made of." -Brandon Hernandez, SD Reader

Chef was in the house tonight! Give your compliments to the chef could end in a private kitchen tour by Robert himself
Jessica DelaneyFebruary 15, 2016
Ambiance, quail egg, shirt rib, appetizers, service, very happy overall
MuddyAugust 21, 2014
Run don't walk to this new exciting restaurant opened by one of the winners of Top Chef, Richard Blais. I wish I could narrow it down, but everything is great!
Ryan JermanMarch 22, 2016
Seared Ahi Tuna (the ravioli it comes with was surprisingly great!)
sue qMay 17, 2015
A must try if in San Diego! Great meal. Must try the yodel.
MarinaMarch 11, 2019
I love prawns, but these grossed me out for some reason. Please order the buttermilk biscuit and the steak—- does not disappoint!
sue qMay 17, 2015
Seafood. Tuna. Yodel. Halibut. Vegetable sides especially the carrots. Toast -morels.
Hal MackinsNovember 3, 2015
The moonfish entree was fantastic: hearty, filling, but not excessive. I also really liked the halibut ceviche.

Order the biscuit, carne cruda asada, baja yellowtail, and the yodel. In the Ivy is a great cocktail
Matt A.November 6, 2021
If you have a party of 7 or more you have to get a pre-selected menu but that’s not at all. Incredible food and worth the price and hype.
AdrianaSeptember 20, 2015
The foie gras toast... Try everything! Great place.
Jung-Ah YumMarch 31, 2014
All drinks ordered in our group were delish. Loved the spritz and giggles! Very refreshing!

If you are going to blow your diet, go for the yodel. Totally worth the extra treadmill time.
DenetteJuly 28, 2015
This place is super cool and great for yummy small bites and cocktails!
Felipe GrimaldoJanuary 2, 2016
Good is excellent...hard to pick a favorite dish but you should get the deviled eggs

They don't typically leave your wine at the table which means servers must be pretty attentive refilling. Ask that they leave your bottle and avoid the hassle.
Brooke BonwellMay 1, 2016
There small plates are perfect for sharing and trying a lot of the items on the menu
Ghassan AboukhaterMay 9, 2014
Great new place with really good food and service. Very hip and cool.
