Ivy Restaurant and Grill
This newly opened Hell's Kitchen restaurant is the perfect place for after-work cocktails. Ivy is carefully designed to create an atmosphere of elegance and simultaneously familiarity; the exposed brick and leather chairs downplay the sprawling bar and VIP area, creating the perfect balance between cool and casual. The bistro-style menu is everything you'd expect- Pan Seared Sea Scallops, a fancied up version of grilled cheese, and Farmer's Chopped Salad are all pretty universally pleasing and expertly done. There are a bunch of drinks to choose from including Acai Lemon Drop and The Cure of Ivy, the restaurant's signature cocktail.
